Jeb Bush is "moving forward" on a potential 2016 White House run and it appears more likely he'll enter the Republican race. That's the opinion of his son, who's running for office in Texas.
George P. Bush tells ABC's "This Week" that his father is "still assessing" a presidential bid, but it seems more likely he'll seek the presidency this time. The former Florida governor declined to run for president in 2012 despite encouragement from Republicans.

He was a good governor of Florida, but I think he suffers from the Bush family’s “nice guy” syndrome - that is, they don’t stand up for themselves and they don’t really press their agendas but are too willing to “reach across the aisle” and compromise.
He is probably the best of the Bushes, in practical terms, but I’m not sure he’s aggressive enough at all.
Same here - my vote is against Bush
Someone better let him know early and often that the answer is not just NO but HELL NO
Jeb, Christie, Mitt....who else is on the GOP-e short list?
They won’t want Rand Paul. And of course any conservative is out of the question...
No, no, no, no...no more soft socialism from the stupid party for me.
“I will govern like LBJ”
HAHAHAHAHA!
That is EXACTLY what I did as well.
.
Actually, most of the Bush clan has had work experience in something other than government. The Kennedys, on the other hand...
Ditto. Also voted against my “conservative” Congressman who joined the Gang of 8 in the House for shamnesty. Couldn’t believe email the other day from him touting how he was trying to protect us from Ebola. I’m starting to think senility is at play and he’s a puppet for GOPe staff.
Keep moving till you hit the water.
This can be read as both good and bad news.
First the bad news: Jeb Bush is running.
And the good news: this means Milt Romney will not run.
Sure, he's a progressive.
Not a good idea...for multiple reasons. Not the least of which is that he couldn’t win - the media would create false narrative that he could never get away from.
I don’t know...looks like Rand Paul is filming ads for the US Chamber.
Well, that is partially good news. It probably also means Rubio won’t run...but out of those three I would much prefer Rubio, except for his signing on to that ridiculous immigration bill. He’s backed away from it, but it is still an issue.
There is going to be a dozen or so people going into Iowa.
As they say, it’s a free country. Bushie can run if he wants.
Or he could give the money to me.
Either way, he isn’t going to be President. But if he gave the money to me, I would be wealthy. I vote for the latter.
A Bush vs Clinton election, or contracting Ebola, which is worse?
Gosh, talk about your tough questions.
