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.

He's tired. He bores people. And somebody with is last name doesn't stand a chance of winning.
If nobody else better comes along, I guess Jeb'll do as well as anybody else, but by no stretch of the imagination is he ideal, even for some GOP elite.
Let me submit the name: General JAMES MATTIS, USMC (Ret.).
He would make a fine C-I-C and POTUS
Well that makes 4 definite primary contenders. Bush, Romney, Christie and Santorum. Anyone like this lineup?
The Four Boresmen of the Apocalypse?
So help me God, I will do as much as I can for ANY conservative who opposes him. So much so that he’ll “reconsider”.

I just got another one of the never-ending appeal letters from the Republican National Committee. I’ll work in the “talk” about Jeb Bush into my next rejection letter, which they obviously will not read—or else they would stop them.
Let me put it this way: I'm seriously thinking about moving My retirement location from Florida to Belize.

How many times do we have to tell them? NO MORE BUSHES!!!
Read my lips. No New Bushes.
The problem with Bush, as well as any other establishment Republican candidate, is that they will view their main job not as rolling back the socialist/liberal agenda, although an establishment figure would do a little of that. No, they would view their main agenda as standing against the “excesses” of the conservatives like Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, etc. This would exacerbate the “civil war” inside the GOP and hold the conservatives up to ridicule.
That is why we must NEVER support a Jeb Bush. It is also why someone like Rick Perry might be the best choice. He LOOKS establishment, but his heart is with the conservatives.
That’s the problem. It’s not his money.
STAY OUT THE BUSHES!
Here’s a dime, Mr. Bush. Go call your mommy and tell her to give up the dream.
Thread #221.
He’ll never make it there...
I believe that Jeb Bush will be the Republican nominee. He is next in line and Christie is not up to it. He and the RNC etc will just hang back while the multiple conservatives eliminate each other with tremendous help from the mSM which will unload to the max on whatever conservative is ahead going into a primary and then he will be the only “viable” candidate left. MSM won’t touch him until after the Nomination.
Jeb, like the rest of his ilk, does not want the Presidency, only the Nomination as a suitable recognition of his Value To The Party. Bush I was elected in spite of his desires because he was seen as Reagan Redux. Bush II didn’t seem to actually get interested until the Florida imbroglio. Then he put a little more heart in it for his second term as he didn’t want his presidency to be “rejected.”
With that lineup we might as well have the kenyan again or the Clinton Harridan.
Jeb, please run as a DINO as a Democrat. You were better as governor than Charlie (Am I a Republican or an independent or a Dem? Yes, I am a Dem) Crist, but not as good as Rick Scott.
