Bush has dubbed as being “like my sister-in-law” — Hillary Clinton.

As if there is enough of a difference between the parties. Republican? Democrat? Same thing anymore.

If he runs with Hillary, it will save a lot of time.
We can vote against both of them with one stroke.

Pro-open borders, board member of the Bloomberg group (or whatever the hell it's called), quishy on life issues. I'm sure there are other things I can't remember off the top of my head.

Yes, he should switch parties, and good riddance.

If his goal is still to win without any conservatives votes, joining the democrats is his best bet.

I always thought that was a cute boy doing those commercials.

Now re: Jebbie boy...um, sure...go run w/ Hillary.

:::shudder::: 350+ million and we keep seeing the same names over and over and over. Seriously...we do not need anymore Bush or Clinton family members in the White House.
