Jeb Bush gets the question at just about every public appearance these days: Will you run for president?
The former Florida governor gives a well-worn answer: "I can honestly tell you that I don't know what I'm going to do." It's an answer that won't satisfy the GOP faithful for much longer.
With New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie facing multiple investigations in a political retribution probe, many Republicans see Bush as a potent alternative: a two-term GOP governor who thrived in the nation's largest swing-voting state and could make the party more inclusive.
Friends and advisers say he is seriously considering a presidential run. His busy schedule will do little to quiet speculation.

Well, I'm not.
Save your money, Jeb.
No, no, no, no, no!!!!
We are not into dynasties, jeb.
His Money? LOL!
No Bush 45 !!!!!!!!
Sweet Jesus, No!
Go clap your scrotum between two heavy bricks, Jeb.
No offense, or anything, though.
Bet you weren't considering McCain and Romney either.

Stay out da Bushes.
But you don’t think like the GOP elitists (fortunately for you). But from their point of view, Jeb is just about ideal. He’s moderate, has paid his dues, brings big money, has the Bush “aura” (or aroma, your choice), and most importantly - he is NOT Rand Paul or Ted Cruz (or worse, Sarah Palin..in their eyes). Or Chris Christie, who they now are being told by the big money people is damaged goods.
They control the money and the machinery, and the GOP elites are absolutely not going to support a conservative or libertarian candidate. Instead they will bankroll the RINO/moderate, bleed the others dry, and send their boy up to lose against Hillary, who will draw RATs, minorities, independents, womyn, and the libertarians who might have gone for someone like Paul but who in now way will vote for a moderate Republican. And conservatives will stay home because they refuse to hold their noses and vote for a RINO.
If you doubt this, suggest reviewing the 2008 and 2012 elections.
I’m pretty sure that anyone who wants the Presidency badly enough to put up with a modern Presidential election cannot be trusted with Presidential power.
We should find someone who does not want the office, but whom might be persuaded to serve out of a sense of duty.
I would encourage Mr. Jeb Bush to reconsider.
We’ve had our fill of the Bush “dynasty” and really do not want to repeat that again.
Bush is by far not my first choice, but he would be hard to beat in the GOP primaries. Today it’s looking like Cruz and Paul are both in, and are likely to split the TEA Party from the libertarians. Throw in someone like Santorum and/or Huckabee to drain off a sizable number of social consertives and you have a GOPe candidate who will garner a sufficient number of delegates to win the convention. Same old shi! every 4 years
“No, no, no, no, no!!!!
We are not into dynasties, jeb.”
I agree. Even if he supported my views it is a bad precedent. This is what the demonrats do. - see the family seat for Dingle in Deroit
Get out ‘da Bushes!!
