Jeb Bush admits he's 'thinking about' running for president, as he blasts President Obama's
UK Daily Mail ^ | December 2, 2014 | Annabell Grossman

Jeb Bush revealed that a decision on his presidential ambitions is coming 'in short order', as he spoke out to condemn President Barack Obama's recent immigration order. The former Florida governor said he will make up his mind based on whether he can 'lift people's spirits and not get sucked into the vortex', and whether 'the sacrifice for my family is tolerable'. He said: 'I'm thinking about running for president. And I'll make up my mind in short order - not that far out in the future.' 'I don't know if I'd be a good candidate or a bad one,' Bush continued. 'I kind of know how a Republican can win, whether it's me or somebody else, and it has to be much more uplifting, much more positive, much more willing to be practical...'

That would guarantee a Democrat president.

Unfortunately outside of two people I can think of off hand, which are Palin and Cruz, no one preaches or practices any sort of traditional American values at all.

They do not know of them, do not believe in them, just nothing.

It is as if we have thrown out everything that made this country great, and brought in everything that destroys.

I feel as if I live in an insane asylum on most days.

If he is the party’s nominee, I will change my party affiliation.

What an absolute annoyance this ‘man’ is

It’s not Obama he’s running against

The gop has no one to run. They’re scrambling.

The GOP won’t be getting my vote for this.

There are a number of excellent republican governors capable of leading this country. They all practice traditional American values. There may also be a couple of military people.

Cruz is my favorite candidate, but I think he would be better as senate majority leader for the next thirty years or so. Palin is a firebrand. Rather than making her a target of the media I think having her on the outside, using her position to call out the media and the bureaucrats works best.
Although I would be happy to support a Cruz/Palin ticket in either position.

Bush = Rove.

No more Bushes. We have seen how the dad, his brother do govern. Only go so far with good sound polices then begin to become all feely touchy to the opposition side. Then, we get more increases of government intrusions while they will not fight the grounds to traditional America. It’s too bad they seek the approvals of the libs versus giving more to their supporters. I don’t want that any longer.

Who wants to put their trust into another Bush who would stand up to fight the opposing liberals as we have seen them Not doing. They in turn, use cowardly tactics only accommodating their opposites to where those do advance. Like This current Speaker. They are All the same to me.

If they pick Bush, the democrats will do well because the Bush brand is old news / nothing exciting because we have actual footage of how the Bush dynasties think. Jeb thinks it’s his turn. That is another wrong reason. He thinks he has a good shot because the amnesty is about done / removes it off of the political field.

I know it's a rhetorical question.

After murdering over 60 million children in the womb, I think the Lord has been very patient.

Don’t embarrass yourself, Jeb. America will never elect another Bush to the presidency.

Perry far and away the best man for the job.

Perry's been my Governor for three terms, and I wouldn't even recommend him for a House seat, much less, POTUS. The man's a big gov't liberal.

I would agree that it’s too early for Cruz to run successfully, and that Palin has unfortunately been damaged by the disgusting media in this country.

Even though I would love to vote for either of them, I will also consider a governor who is not a rino.

Walker comes to mind. I can’t think of any others though tbh.

I will not vote for Bush, Christie, Shmuckabee, R0mney or any of the other usual suspects.

It doesn’t matter what people want... The RNC will fund the weakest, most wishy washy candidate they possibly can. That means Jeb Bush.
