Jeb Bush 'Moving Forward' On 2016 Presidential Run, Says Son [Bad News For Republicans]

Jeb Bush 'Moving Forward' On 2016 Presidential Run, Says Son George P Bush running for Texas land commissioner Says former Florida governor ‘giving this a serious thought’

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush is “moving forward” on a potential 2016 White House run and it appears more likely he will enter the Republican field, according to his son, who is himself running for office in Texas.

George P Bush, who is running for Texas land commissioner, told ABC on Sunday his father was “still assessing” a presidential bid, but suggested it was more likely that he would seek the White House this time. The ex-governor declined to run for president in 2012, despite encouragement from Republicans.

“I think it’s more than likely that he’s giving this a serious thought and moving …and moving forward,” said the younger Bush.

Asked if that meant it was “more than likely that he’ll run”, Bush said: “That he’ll run. If you had asked me a few years back … I would have said it was less likely.”

This has to be the worst recurring bad dream I’ve ever encountered.

It just never stops.

Just up at drudge too, something about the Bush’s. I don’t think Jeb has the dynamics to woo the party. I don’t think most of the also rans of the past have much of a chance, I think it will mainly be Cruz and Paul running for the nomination.

The more RINOs, the better. Let the GOP-e split the squish vote for a change, while conservatives all get behind Ted Cruz!

Send Jebbie a message. Skip the TX land commissioner race on Nov. 4.

If you can’t skip George P. in 2014, you will fall for Jebbie in 2016.

I dunno.

Maybe George P is new, so we haven’t really seen his behavior.

However I like George P more than Jeb. I just do.

I am much more inclined to support George P. I am not sure why, but I am.

I sure won't vote for any member of the Bush family again. I remember I was TOTALLY disappointed when Papa Bush was forced on us to run as Ronaldus Maximus' vice. The bow to the ever present 5th column in the Republican Party. (NE Elitists)

If he is our nominee, I will tell the R's to take my registration and shove it up their collective asses. THEN, I will get serious about getting any and all assets out of this money grabbing socialist utopis's reach.

They can cancel each other out as we get a conservative across the line.

Other than attracting early money, I can’t imagine a group in America with whom Jeb could gain traction ... a significant group that is.

I don’t see this going far.

I would love to have a Reagan republican on the ticket but if it’s a choice between Hillary and a goldfish with “R” after his name I am going to vote for the goldfish.

Brilliant! Then when you win, all the lame-brain disaster that follows is to your credit! Simply brilliant!

Body-build wise, Jeb Bush and Karl Rove remind me a lot of each other. Maybe Jeb looks a bit like a younger Rove with hair.

Jeb Bush murdered Terri Schiavo.

He asked others not to murder her, but when they refused his requests, he cowered under his desk and allowed the murder to proceed.

He allowed a citizen of Florida to be murdered in slow motion, in broad daylight.

He is unfit to hold ANY public office.

Too bad the Royals' pitcher Finnegan is only 21 years old.

Otherwise the ex-gov could tap him for a Huckleberry-Finnegan ticket in 2016.
