Obvious statement of the thread: There is no way the RNC would ever elect another Bush as it's nominee considering how badly they got drubbed in the last elections. They're looking to the future, and thankfully another Bush isn't it.

Jeb will make a run for it several several several years down the line. And it wouldn't shock me if yes, he became president.

The next Bush with a hope would be George P Bush, Jeb's son.

Does the family get a cut of "George Bush for President" signs?
Or maybe they bought way too many when G.H.W. first ran.

How about......no.

I say we kick all the big-name political families out of office and introduce fresh blood all around.

Ironically, Jeb Bush is widely considered to be the "good son", and probably the more suitable to be President.

I think W. ruined it for him though. I also think Bush the Elder was just BSing around for fun... I doubt he was serious.

Who cares, to be honest? If the guy can get the money and the support together enough to beat the other guy, then he deserves the presidency. Same as everyone else.
