Jeb! Bush has learned a thing or two about selfies while on the road campaigning for the Republican 2016 presidential nomination. At a campaign luncheon in West Palm Beach on Monday, when asked how the culture of the selfie has changed modern campaigning, the former Florida governor likened the phenomenon to the “11th amendment of the Bill of Rights,” adding that people are serious when it comes to their selfies: “It is a requirement that you take one, and I do it with great joy in my heart.”
But don’t you even think about trying to bullcrap the guy with any of those stumpy-armed, upward-angled selfies, because Jeb Bush will not have unflattering-ass selfies of himself floating around out there, and if you try it, he will take your phone and do it himself.
He said he hoped that voters had “a long enough arm” — “Or I will take over.” And he added some thoughts on selfie etiquette.
“Just for the record, young people do it better than older people,” Mr. Bush said, before using his outstretched right arm to demonstrate proper selfie technique. “It’s cooler to do it diagonally rather than straight up, remember that, and it’s better to do it higher than lower, because you look skinnier.”
ISIS, immigration, and selfies. Only the most important issues for our 2016 presidential candidates.
