Jeb Bush may be top dog in the latest 2016 polls, but he’s woefully behind the rest of the GOP field when it comes to friends, likes and retweets.
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....

Jeb should run in the Democrats primary
as great as it is to see Cruz up there, I wish there was more for Carson. He is brilliant Conservative.
*****************************
You probably haven’t seen/read some his recent interviews/speeches. He’s for more gun control and supports amnesty.
More like Bod Dole without the military background, wit, but directly related to Herbet Hoover.
STAY OUT THE BUSHES
Mitt without the personality, passion and charisma.
I hope Mitt and Jeb both run hard, and split the GOPe Quisilng vote.
My comment on Politico:
Jeb is Mitt without the passion and charisma (sic).
He’s as bad as Obama when it comes to open borders and flooding America with illiterate future democRat welfare voters.
We are witnessing the globalist elites of both the Rat and GOPe converging in agreement that the pesky American working class needs to be torpedoed, crushed, and turned into government/crony corporate serfs. The Obama-Boehner CROMnibus cram-down was the final knife in the back of the American working middle class.
I’ll never vote for another Bush, period. If’ it’s Warren vs Jeb, I’m staying home.
I’d rather have an honest socialist enemy in front of me to resist, than a back-stabbing open border Quisling GOPe traitor behind me with a sharp knife.
No he’s not. He has zero understanding of the second amendment.
No flames from me. I agree completely. Narcissists explains it perfectly. (look at me...look at me....LOOK AT ME! I’m SOMEBODY! Oh and Please, Please, Please ‘like’ me on facebook okay?.....OKAY?!!!)
Carson’s Gun control problems and Pro-Amnesty plans are Conservative values in your world?
re: Carson
I hadn’t heard him in those areas.
I will go back and do more research.
Sounds good. I was all for him also until more than a few FReepers opened my eyes about his stances in the past year.
