It's one of the more interesting what-ifs of the past few decades. What would have happened if both George W. and Jeb Bush had won their gubernatorial bids in 1994? Which brother would have run for President in 2000 against Al Gore? Late in George W. Bush's second presidential term, I asked his father this question. The senior Bush shrugged, waving off the hypothetical. "Who knows?" he replied. "Didn't happen." Then, after the briefest of pauses, the 41st President added, "If Jeb wants his shot, he should have it. He's done the work, been a governor--a very fine governor, I might add--and if he wants to go for it, I hope he does."
That hope, it is safe to say, endures. No one who knows George H.W. Bush seriously doubts that the former President would like to see Jeb mount a campaign for the White House

I thought that the title suggested that Jeb was terminally ill.

I hope his time has come. I was too young to realize that his dad was a globalist. Based my opinion on his war record and his association with Reagan.
I was and still am a fan of his brother to a certain extent.
But, they had their chance. We need some new blood and the Bush’s ain’t it.

This country went through a lot to get away from control through one bloodline. Now some idjits are trying to basically bring back royalty. Great.
I'll never vote for another Bush. Learned my lesson.

Still seems kind of early to assume that Jeb Bush will be the Republican candidate selected by the LMSM to lose the 2016 election.

LOL!
You just knew 'TIME' was going to help the GOPe push Jeb. That dinosaur fossil, found these days only in barber shops with 75-year-old barbers, was at the molten core of the Democrat "mainstream" news media back in the '60s, and nothing (for them, at least) has changed.

There they go again....
Trying to pick another losing horse for us to bet on and lose. Again.
