I like Jeb Bush (I live in Florida, and he was an excellent governor) but I don’t think he has much of a chance.
However, getting any even possible candidates into the ring would be an improvement.
Last time around, we had NOBODY who was willing to run, except Romney who had been running for years, and Santorum likewise. But they obviously were not great candidates, because Romney had to be shoved down everybody’s throats when he was selected by the GOP-E because he was the only rich WASP RINO candidate they had on hand. That seems to be the sole qualification.
Let’s get a lot of people out there and make decisions. We’re not like the Dems - we can’t run a total unknown, stupid, loser, mysterious, non-native born candidate and have the press run out cheering.
but I don’t think he has much of a chance.
If Jebbie follows the “Mitt Model” (scorch Earth all the GOP candidates) he could win the primary but will piss off the base, again, and lost a squeaker to Hillary (whose ranks will be UNIFIED and looking for revenge...not to mention the MSM long knives).
GOPe is content to keep losing so long as they get a piece of the action and dedicated turf for their fiefdoms.
