Jeb Bush Announces That He's Not Ruling Out Running In 2016

Now it makes sense when he came out against immigration reform yesterday, after having initially supported it for years. He has a book out. So it's going to be Bush vs. Clinton in 2016.

• Remember to repeat the meme everywhere the topic comes up: 80% of all Americans are opposed to another Bush presidency. They cannot steal another election for Bush if it becomes widely accepted that 80% of all Americans are opposed to another Bush presidency.

• I was hoping Huntsman might make it. The only real republican left.

• He's got too much baggage. He may run in the primaries, but I don't think he'll win. Would like to see Christie, but he's pissed off the RNC with his Obama ass kissing after Sandy. I think it's going to be someone younger also. Jeb is 60, they need young blood maybe Rubio or Jindal. I'm from OH and our governor's name has been tossed around, John Kasich.

• Jindal will never happen. Even the dumbasses in Louisiana finally want to be rid of him, and that's saying a lot.

• Doesn't Kasich have closet issues? I remember reading about him years ago on the old IHG? site.

• I wonder if Jeb is doing this for Poppy--to restore the family name.

• The Republicans have no one. They are all corrupt, tainted, insane.

• Maybe he can change his name and run so he's not a "Bush."

• R6, Jeb is doing it so the Neo-Con cabal can make Tel Aviv the seat of the US executive branch again.

• Would take him over Christie or Obama, ANY day.

• We don't know whether Hillary is running yet, OP. But if she does, polls show she would beat Bush, so I don't know why he would want to run.

• Polls aren't always an indicator of electoral success, R11, heh heh heh . . .

  Dubya

• Kasich is a nut. Anger issues and a touch of the Aspergers. He won't even be re-elected in Ohio. The Repugs fixed him up with a wife way back when, and she quickly got pregnant with the obligatory 2.3 children.

• r11 polls at this point is useless. I hope she runs but like all elections, it will be a tough battle because (I believe) the GOP are a ruthless bunch who will say and do whatever it takes to win. Jindal will never be President. He's butt ugly and awkward looking. I know that sounds shallow, but I seriously doubt any electorate can tolerate such an ugly specimen for 4 years. I saw the awkward clip of his response to Obama's State of the Union address on youtube and I could only stand to listen to and look at him for a minute.

• [quote] Jindal will never happen. Even the dumbasses in Louisiana finally want to be rid of him, and that's saying a lot. Plus, he's a brown person, and the Repugs will NEVER nominate one of them.

• [quote]80% of all Americans are opposed to another Bush presidency. link. Didn't Rubio end his career the night of the SOTU address? It was basically the same thing that happened to Jindal. [quote]Would take him over Christie or Obama, ANY day. Drop dead.

• I don't need no stinkin' link, R16. It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. In order to prevent another Bush presidency it has to become widely accepted folk wisdom that a vast majority are opposed to it. They stole the White House in 2000 by pushing the idea the we Americans are split 50-50, Blue vs. Red. In order to prevent another such theft we have to use the Internet to push the idea far and wide that a full 80% of Americans are opposed to another Bush presidency.

  R1

• Jeb Bush doesn't have a chance. The Bush name is such damaged goods at this point, the overwhelming majority of Americans will reject him.

• Jeb just wants to sell his book.

• Could somebody PLEASE shit in my mouth??!!

  R10

• R20, that is pretty gross. Perhaps R10 could eat me instead?

  Cheryl

• More baggage than Christie

• Jeb could never win. The Bush name is box-office poison. Dubya would have to come out and campaign for him at some point, which would be terrible for his campaign. Jeb is also old and fat. He wouldn't stand a chance against the younger, handsomer and more charismatic Rubio and Ryan.

• It angers me that Jeb Bush even thinks he has a shot at winning the presidency. Does he not understand the depth of hatred that most Americans feel for his family? The nerve of that asshole...

• NO MORE BUSH.

• If the dems prop up Hillary, he will win. Hell I would win.

• R26 also likes people to shit in his mouth!

  R10

• She can't win. She is miles better than Obongo, but she can't win.

• Is R28 also a coprophiliac?

• The Poll Troll was here a few weeks ago and posted new polls showing that Hillary would beat Bush in 2016.

• Kill r28. Kill it with fire!
