If you think Jeb Bush isn’t running for President in 2016, you better think twice. Jeb’s will be releasing 250,000 catalogued emails from his days as Governor of Florida, in a new policy e-book, that could be the tell-tale sign that he is saddling up to run for Presidente of the United States of Amigo America.
During a taped Sunday morning interview with Michael Putney and Glenna Milberg on Local 10’s “This Week In South Florida,” Jeb made it very clear that he is leaning hard at a run, saying that “if you run with big ideas and then you’re true to those ideas . . . you can move the needle.”Bush is no dope, and he knows that he will have a hard time in a contested Republican primary race against other potential presidential candidates who are perceived to be more conservative than he.
Going back and looking at Jeb Bush’s track record, you will think that this guy was, and possibly still is, one of the most conservative politicians that has ever come out of the state of Florida.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Bush still is to some degree, tops in conservative circles.
But Bush knows and probably expects to be taken to the political woodshed over his support for amnesty for illegal aliens, and for Common Core education standards.
Some will argue that Bush does not get out of the Republican presidential primary because of his support for these two issues.“End of this year, early next year, I’ll make a decision to really pursue this or to stand down.”-Jeb Bush on running for President in 2016
If Bush decides to run, and Senator Marco Rubio does not, I expect that the Republican electorate will once again be split between the moderate establishment wing of the party, who will side with Bush, and the more conservative, who will look to back someone more along the lines of Ted Cruz or Rick Perry.
Either way, this 2016 GOP presidential primary will turn ugly, if Bush runs. Really ugly.
If Bush doesn’t run, then I expect Senator Marco Rubio to run instead.
