Bush fatigue, yes - something Jeb is conveniently overlooking. But it’s deeper than just Bush fatigue - it’s the related, and absurd notion that we must be/should be run by a few oligarch families. We don’t buy that.

Liberals might - they love the Kennedys, the Bidens, the Clintons, and so on - and they love their 40-50 year veteran members of Congress. Not us....

I call it “political nepotism”. Having a certain surname somehow ‘qualifies’ or ‘entitles’ someone to lead or be elected.

Nepotism in politics has only worsened government, not helped it. The Kennedy’s, the Bush’s, the Landreu’s, the Romney’s, etc. have done this. We should choose candidates with the best IDEAS, CONVICTIONS and CHARACTER, not because of one’s last name. Many candidates who would be great leaders have been overlooked because of someone elses surname. Its just plain foolish.

If I were a candidate now, I would be hitting Mitt and Jeb hard over this. “It is not about YOU, it is about AMERICA!”
