It strains believability that, in a country of over 300 million people, that leading candidates from our two major parties just happen to be the wife of a former president, and brother and son of former presidents. Unbelievable.

I’m only disturbed by the fact that Jeb is less a conservative than either his father or his brother (and I love Bush 42, the President we needed after 9/11) ). We need a strong conservative to counter act Obama$$ and Jeb is not the man.

Equating a geographic “dynasty” (a true contortion of the essence of the term “dynasty”) with a FAMILY, especially a family with such a uniform political perspective is ridiculous.

The intent of the article is transparent.

NO MORE DAMN BUSHES. They have done damage ENOUGH!!!!!

Let us all be thankful that Obama has no family.

And both former presidents greatly disliked by many

These people are not in this because of popularity or for virtue

And jeb has zero chance. He’ll be just like Romney McCain dole.

Both former bushes got in as squeakers. The second lost a second term after turning against conservatives

But he’ll get nominated after everyone turns on Cruz

Barbara Bush is (silently) nodding her head in agreement with you. I think Jeb sees this as ‘his turn’ or taking what is due to him by circumstance.

We can’t let the GOP throw this next election.
Opposition Now! That should be the cry.

If the people (i.e., voters) choose him in the primaries ... then so be it. I’m not going to be one of them that does so, but I’m sometimes outvoted by others.

Oh, but he does.

His husband Michael LaVaughn Robinson is as entitled to the throne as Hillary.

I too am all for him running... AND, importantly, all the other RINOs of his ilk.

When enough conservatives coalesce on a Cruz, the gaggle of RINOs just will flutter away together (and drop, one by one).

I like that photo of the young Clinton sitting at the table drinking soda with HW Bush and George Wallace back in 1983.

Don't be so sure.

If his political beliefs were conservative, his name wouldn’t matter and conservatives would vote for him in the primary.

But Jeb Bush is at least as bad as Obama and probably worse. So I will never vote for him.
