It's one of the more interesting what-ifs of the past few decades. What would have happened if both George W. and Jeb Bush had won their gubernatorial bids in 1994? Which brother would have run for President in 2000 against Al Gore? Late in George W. Bush's second presidential term, I asked his father this question. The senior Bush shrugged, waving off the hypothetical. "Who knows?" he replied. "Didn't happen." Then, after the briefest of pauses, the 41st President added, "If Jeb wants his shot, he should have it. He's done the work, been a governor--a very fine governor, I might add--and if he wants to go for it, I hope he does."
That hope, it is safe to say, endures. No one who knows George H.W. Bush seriously doubts that the former President would like to see Jeb mount a campaign for the White House

NO!!!!!! Let me repeat that: NO!!!!!
As an eldest son I would have sympathized with George W. but I have no doubt that the younger Prince Jeb would have run instead of George if he hadn’t had Lawton Chiles scare old people with BS about Jeb stealing their Social Security in 1994. Jeb is Poppy’s favorite. Just like Bobby Ewing.
It’s pretty g*d-darn remarkable that Jeb is even being discussed as a 2016 candidate after his dad and brother both left office less popular than rectal warts. The idea should be a total non-starter with everyone.
It’s hilarious, as Auh2orepublican used to say if Jeb was Jeb Smith he would have been the nominee in 2008 or 12.
And if George was George Smith he’d be selling women’s shoes instead of being a former Governor and President.
Live and die by the family name.
Where's the Aw geez guy when you need him?
The voters that vote against Obama have to be smart enough not to elect a person that works for the world elite also. That takes intelligence.
Thanks WilliamIII.
Jeb Bush? Ted Kennedy? Whatever.
” Jeb is Poppy’s favorite. Just like Bobby Ewing.”
And that chuckle-headed old fool GHWB is already out boosting his son for POTUS. This Bush family has severely damaged our country, and appear hell bent to complete the destruction!
No more liberal Republicans!
