Jeb Bush is on a fast track to the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, as the former governor of Florida has begun to reach out to Washington insiders and lobbyists by holding a couple of meetings this week at the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors headquarters.
According to some individuals who were in attendance at the Tuesday meeting, Bush made his case to them for possibly running for president.While Bush is out pressing the donor flesh and making the expected political rounds for someone who is seriously considering a presidential run, Bush has declined an invitation to attend this weekend’s inaugural Iowa Freedom Summit hosted by Citizen’s United and Rep. Steve King (R-IA).
If Mitt Romney does not challenge Bush for the Republican establishment support in the upcoming primary race, expect Bush to all but lock up that base of support in short order.

Now as far as the conservative base of the GOP goes, Bush will have a harder time convincing activists that he is still the same ol’ conservative Jeb that ran Florida.
Will conservatives look past his support for amnesty for illegal aliens and Common Core education standards during the 2016 GOP presidential primary race?
