I don't have a problem with anyone running. Increasingly I think that Jeb running would be a good thing for the Party.
In the cathartic sense. The truth is that Conservatives need an establishment foil to provide the opportunity to make our case. I actually relish the idea of Jeb Bush having to stand up in the GOP primary debates and have to defend his long-support for immigration reform and common core against someone like Ted Cruz. And his (I believe) support for unions against someone like Scott Walker.
In fact, I think that Cruz and Walker would bury Bush on those issues, on points. It would help both of them become better candidates and provide the opportunity both need to present themselves as rational, reasonable and logical advocates for the Conservative agenda. If they seize the opportunity, which ever one gets the nomination (and I think it'll be one of the two) will be much better inoculated against the typical "fire-breathing extremist nutjob" charges that are sure to flow from Campaign Hillary!.
