Jeb Bush 'Moving Forward' On 2016 Presidential Run, Says Son George P Bush running for Texas land commissioner Says former Florida governor ‘giving this a serious thought’

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush is “moving forward” on a potential 2016 White House run and it appears more likely he will enter the Republican field, according to his son, who is himself running for office in Texas.

George P Bush, who is running for Texas land commissioner, told ABC on Sunday his father was “still assessing” a presidential bid, but suggested it was more likely that he would seek the White House this time. The ex-governor declined to run for president in 2012, despite encouragement from Republicans.

“I think it’s more than likely that he’s giving this a serious thought and moving …and moving forward,” said the younger Bush.

Asked if that meant it was “more than likely that he’ll run”, Bush said: “That he’ll run. If you had asked me a few years back … I would have said it was less likely.”

Great news!

Say, Jeb, might I suggest a slogan for your campaign? How about "Forward"?

The only way to beat the GOPe is to short circuit their entire organization with something like a Cruz/Palin or Palin/Cruz ticket from the get-go.

Let him run. He won’t be the nominee, but running will get it out of his system. Hopefully.

Yeah, well I’m “moving forward” on raising a million dollars for Ted Cruz’s presidential run and I’ll teach fund-raising to anyone here who’s interested.

Say, Jeb, here's an idea. Why don't you start a business and show us how easy it is do run a business in the state you governed for however many years you ran it.

That way you can make a direct connection to the millions of people whose votes you are seeking. We'll be able to see first-hand how good you are at relating to the day-to-day issues business owners and employees face every day.

The Republican left and its leaders like Jeb don’t have clue one about how to get America back on track for limited government and prosperity. They are part of the problem, part of the reason we have Obama, and they will be the reason we get Hillary, if voters nominate them.

Excellent. Let the RINOs be fragmented tis time around. If conservatives coalesce around a candidate quickly, we will beat the RINOs.
