Please run. It would be a Democratic dream come true. The ads would be too easy.

Disagreed. Jeb Bush is a much more formidable candidate than his brother ever was, and if a moron on W could win twice (or at least, get re-elected after starting a non-sensical war), than a reasonably smart guy like Jeb has a chance.
Democrats should be asking themselves if there are some time bombs just waiting out there if Clinton is handed the nomination, as appears to be the likelihood. With no challengers to ding her up and put her in fighting shape going into summer, 2016, she may be easier to beat by the right Republican than anyone thinks right now.

Not another goddamned Bush. No how, no way.
I can only think of one Democrat who could pull off a lose to Jeb Bush. Unfortunately, that Democrat is Hillary Clinton.
Iām sorry, but nepotism is more of what you might expect in Zimbabwe or Saudi Arabia. Do we really expect the people to choose between a Clinton and yet another Bush?
A Warren-Paul matchup would certainly be more entertaining and would get issues out on the table beyond preserving the interests of the plutocracy.

This is like the movie Poltergeist Their BAAACK!
The stock market tanks every time a Republican is in the White House. Weāve had two presidents named Bush and both presided over significant recessions.
Golly! Should be fun!

Wait till you see the freak show that will be the Republican Primaries for 2016. They will make the 2012 Primaries look staid and boring by comparison.
This is āpre-positioningā by the Bush/Oligarch Machine to enable Jeb Bush (same single-syllable name, but a lot less stupid) to join in late in the Primaries as the āGreat White Saviorā and āElder Statesmanā to SAVE the Republican Party from the Lunatic-Fringe Reich-Wing nut-jobs that will have driven the negatives for the Republican Party to an all-time High by June 2016. If Hillary is the Democratic Nominee, the MSM wonāt be able to contain themselves pushing for a BUSH v. CLINTON campaign (and it WILL result in a rehash of the 1992 campaign, with the 2016 issues ignored by the MSM.)
I am rooting for Rick Santorum and Nancy Reagan. The Bushes are dumb crooks. Both of them were incompetent and left huge deficits and economic disasters. President Bush the Elder funded the Taliban and received riches from the Kuwaitis for going to war only a week or so after he left office. President Bush the Dumber lied and went to war for the his Haliburton handlers and to avenge his fatherās electoral defeat.
Jeb is the GOP establishments best bet since hes not embroiled in any kind of scandal like christy or walker.
The fact that Jeb, yes Jeb, canāt come out and say it himself speak volumes. If the slightest pushback comes after each of these little leaks then he recedes and goes back into hiding.
He wonāt run because he is the most qualified or has the best chance, he will only run because the Republicans are so pitiful and the fact that he would dive in only proves that for a fact.
Iām pretty sure you have to move BACKWARDS if you want to run for President as a Republicanā¦
