In a different time and place !Yeb may very well have been the nominee. And, may in fact have made a fine president.
!Yeb’s problem is he’s here, now.
The public does not want another Bush, period. We had his father who was nominally OK, and his older brother who was a decent man. We are not interested in giving that office to a third Bush as a trophy to a family.
There has been precedent for a father and son, John Adams and John Quincy Adams, H.W, and W.
But the idea of a father and BOTH is sons. NO!
Maybe they could run Neil next.....
