“The Bush name is still toxic. It helped Obama win twice —2008 and 2012.”

Bush didn’t run those years. Obama won because conservatives were divided.

Exit polls in 2012 showed 54% were still blaming Bush, not Obama, for the bad economy.

It didn’t matter whether Bush was running. Obama was running AGAINST Bush anway — and it worked. Obama won, again.

And a Jeb Bush run would divide conservatives further. No more open borders. No more unnecessary foreign adventures. No more Democrat light social programs. No more Bushes.
