The Financial Times reports that Jeb Bush is starting to come out of his shell and appear more comfortable on the campaign trail. Part of that is his selfie strategy.
Selfies are definitely conversation starters. When people post selfies with candidates, their friends often ask what they discussed with the candidate. However, it’s unclear how selfies help people see Jeb as the person most prepared to be president, even if it does help increase his likability.

As part of coming out of his shell, Jeb is also handing out tiny turtle figurines to children.
