Don't worry coopie, you don't have to admit being wrong to be wrong. It's spelled out very clearly. Why you persist, I dunno, but that's okay I'm often stubborn too. Just not wrong.
His younger brother, Jeb, was supposed to be the next president, not W.

No one expected him to be president; Jeb was supposed to run, according to family lore. George W. Bush, as many have noted, was a case study in the power of lowered expectations.

There had long been reports that it was Jeb – John Ellis Bush – who was supposed to be the next leader in the Bush family dynasty.
But that scenario ended on election night 1994, as Jeb lost narrowly to Florida Gov. Lawton Chiles, the same day that George W. Bush ousted Gov. Ann Richards in Texas.
Jeb ran a more conservative campaign in ’94 than his big brother, focusing more on policy issues and less on the "feel good" approach employed by George W. Learning from his defeat, there was more of a softer, "compassionate conservative" approach to Jeb’s campaign in 1998, which he won convincingly. But by then, George W., who also won that year, was on his way to the Republican presidential nomination.
