George W. (finally) to campaign for Jeb Bush

GOP_2016-Bush

Jeb Bush‘s South Carolina campaign director says the presidential candidate may finally appear on the campaign trail alongside his brother, former President George W. Bush.

Brett Doster says “George W. Bush is the most popular Republican alive” and that the GOP in South Carolina is “eager” for the visit.

South Carolina holds a Feb. 20 primary, 11 days after New Hampshire. Jeb Bush has a large organization in the state, which gave his father and brother hard-fought primary victories on their paths to the 1988 and 2000 nominations, respectively.

Doster says plans are not final, but notes that George W. Bush is popular among a cross-section of important South Carolina GOP groups, from evangelical Christians to the military community and large veterans presence.
