First, let me say that I am not a JEB supporter, as my tag line would suggest. However, let me say that this is a pretty good analysis, and upon further reflection, I now think JEB could win in 2016. Here's why.

I think the nation has strong Obama fatigue. I think people in some ways like Obama (how I don't know) but they also see the guy as incompetent. Obama gets low marks on the economy and almost every single thing that requires skill and competence. I think Hillary represents more of the same Obama no matter how they may try and dress her up and disguise her.

Hillary does have a built in base of support and certainly the corrupt MSM will go to bat for her. But, I question if the corrupt MSM will be as ardently in her corner as they were for Obama. Obama is a Marxist. Obama is black. The corrupt MSM acts as his armor. The corrupt MSM will support Hillary, just not to the extent they put their thumb on the scale for Obama.

Yes, I know the Bush name is an anathema to most of the 47%, but I think there is in fact a secret longing for the competence of George Bush. I think JEB represents that sense of stability and competence in spades and I think right now the American people absolutely crave competence, stability, skill, and an adult in charge. I think JEB may represent that.

Hillary is old, not a good campaigner. Not a good speaker. Not an inspirational mover of people like Obama. I also think the American people will look long and hard at upstarts. I'm not sure there is much of a stomach to go with another untested, unknown candidate.

I'm not a JEB guy, but the more I think about it the more I think he will get in the race and if he does he will be quite formidable.
