(CNN) – Jeb Bush, Jr., the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, said Tuesday morning he "certainly" wants his dad to run for president.
Asked on CNN's "Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien" if he wants to see his father make a White House bid, Bush said, "I don't know. No comment. I certainly hope so."
"Giving you the full loaf of bread right there," he continued, smiling.

Jeb Bush, the former governor, flirted with a presidential bid last year, but declined to run. With high popularity in the Hispanic community–his wife is from Mexico and he speaks Spanish–his name has resurfaced as a strong contender in 2016, now that many in the party say the GOP needs to better connect with Latinos.
"We really have to work on our ground game, have to work on our messaging," Jeb Bush, Jr. said Tuesday.
He pointed to his uncle, former President George W. Bush, as an example of someone who "showed that you can be successful with Hispanics and be Republican."

Is the GOP that stupid to run another Bush? Why...do they want to provide years of work for MSNBC?
Bush would struggle in the primaries as Real Conservatives and Social Conservatives know he is an Amnesty Liberal....and he wimped out during the Terri Schiavo murder scheme a few years ago
If Jeb were to survive the primaries....the Dems will be waiting for him with “Another Bush” campaign....and....they will go after him over his drug-addicted daughter.
Real Conservatives know that it is stupid and politically suicidal for Jeb to run. The GOP needs to get off its Fetish for Illegal Aliens and Hispanics....and stay out of the way so that True Conservatives and Real Conservatives can run
Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal are not Natural Born Citizens.
Their cheerleaders keep dreaming they are....which is another problem for another thread
Junior and George P. are not eligible to run for president because their mother did not become a naturalized citizen until 1987.
All the brats were born in the ‘70s.
For once I agree with Jesse: “Stay out da Booshes!”
Your attitude is that of the Obamabots: Mob rule.
I mean according to judges and officials, not myself and popular opinion.
Oh, them.
It doesn’t matter. The U.S. Government has been illegitimate since January 22, 1973. What we have been living thought for forty years is just the spinning out of the logical/moral consequences of that.
duh!
