Bad Idea: Jeb Bush Mulling Over a Run for the White House in 2016

Don’t do it, Jeb. Don’t waste your money and our time.

We’re not voting for you. Sorry, but the Bush name is too toxic in this political climate (fairly or unfairly). Politically dynastic families are something that just needs to die.

Via National Review ^[1]:

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush met Monday with a group of his former staffers at the J. W. Marriott hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, just steps from the White House. Bush, a potential 2016 presidential contender, spent an hour in the hotel’s Cannon room, reminiscing and entertaining questions about his political future.

In an interview with NRO, Bush did not rule out a presidential run. “I am here to catch up with folks and promote education reform,” he said, smiling.

When asked again whether he will issue a Sherman-type statement about his future, Bush remained coy. “We have an alumni group that I like keeping in touch with,” he said. “I’m here to focus on educational reform, and that’s what I’m going to tell people.”

Neil Newhouse, Mitt Romney’s campaign pollster, was at the meeting, as were several veteran Florida operatives.

Just go away, Jeb. Seriously. And take Rick Santorum ^[2] with you, where ever you go.

And I agree wholeheartedly with this commenter: “If Jeb Bush or Chris Christie is the GOP nominee in 2016, I will work night and day for the Libertarian Party.”
