The weaknesses of Jeb Bush at a glance:

1. Bush -- like it or not, Americans in general and conservatives in particular don't like any hints of dynasties. This third Bush will clearly overshadow a second Clinton.

2. Terri Schiavo - Today is anniversary of Terri Schiavo's death. Her death is part of Jeb Bush's record. There couldn't be a more telling time (day) for Jeb Bush's aspirations for the presidency to be put in front of America.

3. Amnesty. Like his brother before him, and like all the Chamber of Commerce, Jeb Bush is pro-amnesty for illegals. Little more than a week ago, Jeb Bush was quoted as saying, "Jeb Bush: "People who come here legally and illegally are the risk takers....""

These are only the top 3 that tell me Jeb Bush is a non-starter.

His name now smacks of royalty, pro-lifers are rightly suspicious of him, and conservatives as a group do not support illegal amnesty.

Glad they stated the No Conservative leaders recruited Jeb to run because NONE are!

During the fight to defund Obamacare Bush called Senator Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire to commend her for opposing the conservatives whose fight to cut spending and defund Obamacare led to the federal government shutdown.

Of course, the refusal of Baraq Obama and Harry Reid to consider a duly passed budget by the Constitutionally-mandated House of Congress responsible for providing one was what REALLY led to the shutdown. Again, The Lie, repeated.

Amnesty, specifically the GOP's and W's support of it, is what lost the GOP control of congress in 2006. That IMHO was really the nail in the coffin of the Bush administration.

These establishment Republicans never learn from history.

Our problem (myself included)is we think of Reagan as the rule rather than the exception. The Reagan presidency was fought tooth and nail by the establishment, many of whom are still in power today. Reagan had the same up hill battle that Ted Cruz will have getting the nomination, then getting his agenda through a GOP controlled congress.

I think they are showing their hand. Bush will help Hillary because she can hide behind the fact that “his dynasty is worse than mine” JUST like romneycare and obamacare. Rinos don't care who's in power as long as they're liberal; democrat or republican.

Just another who wants to satisfy Wall Street and money holders when he should be seeking the support of Main Street. Maybe they think that not coming across as a flaming weirdo senator would be enough to win.

...and thus marginalize as “radical” or “unelectable” any candidate or elected official who subscribes to limited government constitutional conservative principles is to the right of Mao Zedong.

I forget who which FReeper wrote it but basically he said the mission of the Bush-Clinton Crime Family is to prevent the rise of another Reagan. He's right but I would add any other non-Establishment butt kisser candidate.

I’d put amnesty #1 and common core #2.

Being part of the Bush machine—and a smug part of it at that—is up there too. Then there’s his insufferable poor-mouthing about how he’s had to go make money after receiving such a pittance in compensation during his governorship.

Jeb supporters spew is that he’s got a LATINO WIFE. Other than that, NOTHING! Latinos probably wouldn’t vote for him either.

"Bush -- like it or not, Americans in general and conservatives in particular don't like any hints of dynasties." Sadly, I am not sure that this is true. In the recent Texas Republican Primary, George P. Bush, son of Jeb Bush, received 75% of the vote for Land Commissioner. He has no qualifications for the office and is using this only as an opportunity to enter politics without starting at the bottom. His opponent, David Watts was extraordinarily qualified for the office and is a core conservative. Low information Republican voters in Texas pulled the lever because the candidate was a Bush. There was no other reason to vote for him.
