Jeb Bush, Selfie Master, Teaches 'Selfie Training' Class

Voters who don't know how to take a selfie: Jeb Bush is here for you.

Since we're in the midst of the "Selfie Election," it pays to stay informed, and it's no surprise that the candidates have gleaned a thing or two about this important social issue.

Hillary Clinton acknowledged early on that, "For younger people, [selfies are] as important as anything they could have asked me. So I just say, 'OK, we’re going to do it.'"

Ben Carson, on the other hand, wrote in a Washington Post op-ed that, "beyond the obvious narcissism of endlessly photographing oneself and blasting it over social networks for others to admire, selfies are dangerous." He also really hates selfie sticks.

But Bush has got it down to an art, and turned a question asked at a recent fundraiser ("How has the role of the selfie changed [your] candidacy?") into an impromptu stand-up routine glittered with wisdom and punctuated with the classic Bush-Wait-For-Applause shrug.

Here are his fool-proof rules:

1. "It is a requirement that you take one, and I do it with great joy in my heart."

2. Treat it like an autograph: "Look, it wasn't that long ago that people wanted signatures on things. Forget that. Now, it's 'I want my damn selfie.'"

3. Have a long enough arm, "Or [he] will take over."

4. Be young: "Young people do it better than older people."

5. "It's cooler to do it diagonally rather than straight up."

6. Place the camera higher than your head: "You look skinnier."

To give you some perspective, Bush has come a long way since June, when he experienced an awkward encounter with a flustered voter in Iowa.

Today's tech-savvy savant with a "selfie stick of an arm" is hardly recognizable from the Jeb of months passed. And if you practice his steps listed in his six commandments above, you, too, can have selfies that look like this:
