No. I hear almost nothing about George W. Bush these days (other than that bizarre painting hobby) from any quarter. Since January 20, 2009, Republicans have decided that simply pretending that the years 2001-2009 didn't happen is a winning political strategy. And from the looks of their gains in the House and Senate, they may be on to something there.
That's because Democrats are generally lacking in political skills.
The party in power tend to lose seats in midterm elections, and most of the seats that were lost were in the states that were G O P anyways, and the retirements in SD, Mnt, and WVA, were on the Democratic side this time.
In 2012 and 2016, where the states are more favorable for the Dems, and we are expected to do fairly well, and despite the realignment of the south in 2010 and 2014, we have kept the presidency, for 16 years.
His policies hurt John McCain, but that isnt the case anymore, but his legacy, last name will of course come off of Jeb's chances either in the G O P primary or general.
