I am now making a similar statement about Jeb. I think Jeb would probably be a good president. BUT, Jeb is uniquely qualified to negate Hillary's greatest weakness - washington insider, political dynasty, return to the past vs looking toward the future.
Because of this, I STRONGLY am against a Jeb Bush run in 2016!
If Jeb is our candidate... and Hillary is the Democrats.. It will simply become a referendum on which past presidency was better Bill Clinton or George W Bush. And Bush loses that match up EVERY TIME!
Yep, the LSM has poisoned the well for the Bush family.
Agree, totally.
Everyone harps on the “gender gap” when presidential election time comes around, but what many don’t realize is that white women typically vote Republican. With Hillary, I fear that this changes.. I know too many otherwise-Republican women (family, work, etc) who go dreamy-eyed at the Clintons and the Clinton years.
If Hillary doesn’t do as well among minorities as Obama (winning 88% of blacks instead of 95%, for example), she could make-up some of that ground among white women (a larger voting group). Especially if Jeb “act of love” Bush is the nominee. They’ll figure, looking at the two of them side-by-side, “what difference does it make?”
I just read that Jeb is 50-50.He must be reading Free Republic!
Agreed. I would hate to see an opportunity in 2016 just become a pissing contest over the past presidencies of Bush and Clinton.
