Every political misstep by President Barack Obama and every dodge by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over Benghazi brings us closer to a Jeb Bush candidacy in 2016 and an unprecedented third president from the same family.
With the 2014 midterm elections all but over except for counting the votes — yes, Republicans will win a majority in the Senate — there is a slow but steady momentum building for Jeb Bush to re-expand the Republican tent toward the center.

That is exactly what the Democrats who are pushing a Jeb Bush candidacy are counting on.
My point also.
No Terri Schiavo
obama’s blunders bolster Jeb Bush’s 2016 chances
Not a chance! See Eric Cantor. Anyone who wants amnesty will lose. We do not want to be Northern Mexico.
Jeb Bush is the plan. “We”, on the other hand, will divide ourselves between the usual five or six splinter path candidates made available to us. The Establishment must be licking their chops.
Without some kind of Tea Party convention machine to unify around one candidate, we cheerfully repeat our appearance of the frantic Keystone Cops.
Does it? The last time I looked, half the American public still had its collective head up its collective anal exit passageway, and has no idea where 0bama is leading us.
My guess, based on appearances, is that truthfully, even the Dems prefer Jeb Bush to Hillary Clinton. There will be more articles like this out of the Establishment contacts.
The nomination is Jeb’s now, if he wants it. This means the machine is already rolling for 2016 in board rooms and handshakes.
Meanwhile, “we” will be carved up between sixish individuals.
What’s wrong with this picture?
That is exactly what the Democrats who are pushing a Jeb Bush candidacy are counting on.
Too many of us will no longer vote for lizards*.
*Those familiar with the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy understand this reference.
Jeb is the one guy who could manage to lose to Hillary.
Candidates like McCain, Christie, Bush, etc. serve two purposes for liberals. First, as you say, there's the hope that conservatives sit out the election and hand it to the Democrat. But even if they don't, a liberal Republican will get elected, somebody who may not give the Left 100% of what it wants but will at least give them 80-90% behind all the rhetoric.
So having Jeb on the ticket is a win-win scenario for the Left.
He’ll expand the base towards the center ... of the OUTHOUSE!!
It is an act of treason for any DC politician to push for amnesty when millions of Americans can’t find jobs. A vote for amnesty is like sticking a knife in the back of every American. It will be one more nail in the coffin of future generations.
Multiple “acts of love” in one room.
these pundits and politicals can try to blow smoke up our asses all they care.
I will NOT vote for Jeb or any other Bush, Clinton, or any of these tax and spend gumba’s.
Real conservative or go fish.
The lesson of this primary season for the GOPe is get out early and often while pretending to be conservative. I expect team Bush (and team Clinton) to do exactly that. They are not going to wait till after then mid term elections. Their surrogates will be hitting pavement as fast as they can gear up.
No, they (team Bus) read the tea leafs exactly correct, see my 55.
But the even more pro amnesty Gramn won. So what does that tell you? It should tell you tactics are EVERYTHING! see 55
I knew you were kidding!
And even if he wins, so what? Hillary vs. Jeb 2016 is basically a choice between Liberal Democrats and Liberal Democrats Lite. If the two switched parties, would anyone really notice?
No Bushes, no Clintons.
