Jeb Bush May Be The Most Awkward 2016 Candidate

"Immigrants are more fertile."

Let’s face it: Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) is awkward.

The presidential candidate isn’t the most graceful candidate out there, to say the least. A couple of weeks ago he did a little striptease on the campaign trail and revealed his Reagan/Bush 1984 T-shirt. In 2013, he claimed that “immigrants are more fertile.” And how could we forget that very awkward high-five with Donald Trump during the second GOP debate.

Bush may not be the smoothest guy out there, but we appreciate his awkwardness.

Watch Bush in action above.
