DECEMBER 16, 2014 Jeb Bush: The Wrong Name At The Wrong Time He’s not the candidate Republicans need for 2016. By Charles C. W. Cooke
And they’re off! This morning, in a notably understated Facebook post, former Florida governor Jeb Bush announced that he was thinking about thinking about running for the White House. “I have decided,” Bush confirmed, “to actively explore the possibility of running for President of the United States.” “Best wishes to you and your families for a happy holiday season,” he teased.” “I’ll be in touch soon.”
The reactions came thick and fast. Depending on the speaker, Bush was greeted as a glorified Democrat, hiding inside an elephant’s hide; as a colorless moderate, too insipid and too dull to provoke any reaction at all; or as precisely the sort of competent, calm, and respectable politician that Republicans will need if they are to win back control of the executive branch.
Celebrating the move, Bush’s champions focused on his excellent record as a two-term governor and played up his social conservatism; lamenting the news, his detractors relitigated his approach to the disaster that is Common Core, and his unreliable position on immigration. Would Bush be a good president? Your mileage may vary.

JB = Wendell Willkie
If he were a proven strong conservative, I doubt his name would make much of a difference. However ...
JB = Bob Dole
Perry-Bush
No Mo Bush!!!
I want someone who can win...
Cruz or no one.
two bushes were enough.
Thanks but no thanks. No more pro-ILLEGAL alien Republicans.
have to hand it to the elitist in the GOP, they still don’t get it in their little elitist bubble they live in.
At one time he was considered the most conservative politician in the family. Safe to say that was never true to begin with.
Maybe Jeb should at least wait for Ted Cruz to make his announcement? Gallup/Razz(and the others) should take a Bush/Cruz poll soon.
Well, if you want ANOTHER pro-Mexican, open-border Bush, consider Jeb. He would be no different that GWB.

It would to me,I detest dynasties.
.
I agree with the author. I do not hate the Bushes by any means, I actually like them. And I would guarantee I would like them tons more than whatever cretin the other side puts up. However, this is too many Bushes and his position on amnesty sucks.
This fat cow of a man needs to GO AWAY.
no I don’t think they do.
they quiver over the possibility of the gov’t shutdown.
I don’t, I would welcome it.
Dynasties are not my thing either, however, if he were a Bush that was a true conservative, I could go for it ... not that this is the case.
undoubtedly showing Bush ahead in an effort to deflate the Cruz supporters.
