The former Florida governor took to social media Tuesday to announce that he will “actively explore the possibility of running” for president in 2016, tweeting a link to a statement on his Facebook page.
Journalists and political junkies leapt at the news, but Facebook fans … not so much.
As of early Tuesday afternoon, hours after Bush’s 10 a.m. announcement, his tweet had amassed 5,700 retweets and 2,200 favorites. On Facebook, the post approached 1,000 shares and comments and obtained just over 3,000 likes.
By late Tuesday, the tweet garnered over 6,000 retweets, becoming Bush’s most retweeted tweet ever, according to analysis provided by Twitter. There were 100,000 tweets mentioning Bush from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m....

NO WAY IN HELL!
Google Jeb Bush and you will see an Ad by Rand Paul!
The Ad says we need someone who will shrink the government, not grow it.
Is there a link to renting a blimp?
This guy could be the second coming of Ronaldus Magnus. The country will not elect a third member of the same family. It’s worrisome that they might elect a second one of the same family though (as in the Clintoons)
Politically, dumb to let him get this far. But no one recently said the GOP was smart.
Not so hot period.
Michelle O may run for the Senate in California.
He better, so Mitt doesn't get all the RINO votes and win by plurality in the primaries.
The latest liberal choice for Liz or Hil’s opponent. Period. Whomever they think will lose to the anointed dem is what the drive-by media buzzes about. Buzz buzz buzz like flies on poop. Jeb is the latest repub turd.

Jeb Bush 2.58% (300 votes)
as great as it is to see Cruz up there, I wish there was more for Carson. He is brilliant Conservative.
Paulites rule the internet, so Carson as third ain't so bad. It's good to see Cruz bustin up the Paulites.
We don’t elect people off the street (in football terms - walk-ons) to the presidency. Every president in this country’s history had some kind of previous government experience as a legislator, governor, cabinet secretary, flag officer or a combination of those.
Cruz has been, walking the walk!
Jeb Bush is making Romney look kinda’ hip by comparison. Something I didn’t think was even possible.
From what I’ve seen of FB it’s a bunch of narcissists. What do they care who’s running for president? They just want everyone to know a bug got on their windshield or some other worthless piece of information. I actually know a woman who posted a picture of a scorpion on her door step. She lives in South Texas! That’s not news in South Texas.
flame away.
