Jeb Bush is considering a run for the White House — no matter what his mother thinks.

With two recent national polls showing Jeb among the top potential 2016 Republican presidential contenders, a local Florida reporter asked the former Sunshine State governor Wednesday about a potential run.

“I’m considering — I’m going to think about it later,” he said. “So I don’t wake up each day saying, ‘oh, what am I going to do today to make this decision. I’m deferring the decision to the right time, which is later this year.”

There'll be no joy going back to a dynasty that loves illegal aliens more than it loves its own citizens.

****************************

Imho, it's his mother who has been pushing all of the men in the family to run. Also imho, she is, and has always been, relentlessly ambitious.

listen to your mommy Jebby, she doesn't want you to run. Besides, if it turns out that you decide to run and its against the hildahag, you should be very concerned that you may suddenly commit Arkencide

I don’t see it happening. His wife is a total negative. She’s as elusive as Bigfoot, always rumored to be a troubled marriage. She’s got some baggage from trying to sneak jewelry and clothes in through customs from a trip to Europe. Its a non starter.

I hope Jeb runs so that Republican voters can thoroughly reject him in the primary. We need to send a message to the Bush family that we don’t want political dynasties in this country.
