Former first lady Barbara Bush sat down with Fox News for an interview at her home in Houston, Texas that aired on Wednesday. After stating for over a year that she thinks the Bush family should stay out of presidential politics, she said "maybe it's ok" if another Bush runs in 2016.

Babs, you’re tempting me to say something very ungentlemanly to a woman...
NOPE.
She had it right the first time.
No more Bushes or Clintons !
When did the Bush family become the presidential standard in this country? They were never anything more than typical east coast elitists turned politicians with mediocre bureaucratic skills?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I am getting flashbacks of the run-up to the 2012 election with Jeb Bush playing the part of Romney and Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio playing the parts of Bachman and Santorum.
Jeb Bush (much like Romney was in 2012) the ONLY person we are absolutely 100% certain to lose with. Because in all likelihood Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee, and her BIGGEST obstacle will be that she's from the past. A Bush running against her would completely nullify that and make the race a referendum on which presidency was better George W Bush or Bill Clinton, and Bush will lose that race every time.
Romney was the ABSOLUTE worst candidate we could of run 2012 because of how he nullified what would have been our strongest asset (opposition to Obamacare). I hope the GOP doesn't make the same mistake again by pushing Jeb on us.
It will never be ok for another Bush to run! Not just no, but hell no!!
Oligarchy! Like Bob Grant used to say: We are slipping and sliding into third worldism. No more Bushes, Clintons or Obamas!
i haven’t relented, barb.
or Kennedys!!
Go with your instincts, Barb.
It’s why Teddy Kennedy never ran again.
Nutjobs have this thing about trilogies.
People in Texas voted for another of the Bush dynasty?
They can’t seem to get enough.
1992: Clinton beats Bush
1996: Clinton beats Dole
2000: Bush beats Gore
2004: Bush beats Kerry
2008: Obama beats Clinton then beats McCain
2012: Obama beats Romney
2016: Clinton beats Bush
2020: Obama beats Clinton
I wish she would quit lying and playing politics. She wants the political dynasty to continue more than anyone with the possible exception of her George HW.
The Bush dynasty is gambling that another Bush is going to look pretty good after eight years of BO. They may be right save for the fact that we are going to have an even stupider electorate in 2016 than 2012.
Jeb Bush asked others to save Terri Schiavo from murderers.
But when they all refused, and it was his duty to act, he chickened out.
He was the GOVERNOR of Florida, and he let murderers kill one of his citizens, in broad daylight.
I think they figured they had to take a chance and remind the old wind bag that it’s fixed. Jeb will run but he won’t win.
America’s downward slide began with her husband, and continued accelerating with his successors.
We don’t he spawn of a New England Liberal, trying to masquerade as Texans, monopolizing the White House.
I really dislike the Bushes intensely and the matriarch above them all.
