My fear is this guy is much worse. The poor GOP, they just keep running out of superstars. Awwww


I can't wait to see who the final 4 will be. And then the circus acts, all over again. Should be fun for us. They have plenty of loons to choose from.

and "Poppy (sic)" was in tears that Jeb lost his chance when Dubya was elected has been projected out there since GWB's first term. Now I'm wondering if this isn't some long term strategy (Luntz or Rove). So Never Another Bush! I never believed that would be an issue with the apparently amnesiac "average voter" (amnesiac, or so we're told; although I've met very few of them, in a fairly involved local political life). With all GOP (awful) options considered, Jeb is suddenly emerging again. He may be the "smarter brother," but that doesn't mean he's any better choice. Being a liberal, I'll admit never being bothered by the so-called "Kennedy Dynasty." That means that I should forgive the conservatives a "Bush Dynasty." That I despise Ted Cruz for many of the reasons others have negated him (he's scary), doesn't mean I think anyone should embrace Jeb. But...I'm suspecting that may be the real Republican strategy: Jeb will represent the non-crazy Republicans and be the "savior." Although I'm a Democrat, what's going on with them regarding a presidential candidate is more than I care to even sort out right now. Not especially a Hillary fan, however, I must say two contemporary Clintons does not make a dynasty. But, while in no way comparing the Clintons (not in personalities, but situations) what would Eleanor Roosevelt be doing if she'd been a widowed first lady today?

If little Jeb runs, all I want to hear about, is how he was governor of florida, in 2000. If the dems r so cowardly, as not to use it, they r fools. Just like all we will hear, from them is Monica, if Hillary runs.
