Senator Bush
By the Editors

Jeb Bush doesn’t need to be a senator. But the Senate could use Jeb Bush.

When the former Florida governor spoke at the National Review Institute’s “Conservative Summitâ€

Jeb Bush is so stupid. Coming out and talking about a possible run for US Senate just after the GOP gets clobbered nationally due to the historic unpopularity of his brother GW?

Either the voting machines are rigged or Jeb Bush is an ignorant aristocrat that seems to have missed the point that Americans will be reluctant to ever elect anyone from the Bush family to office again.

In my case, I would never vote for another member of the Bush family under any circumstances and that goes for third cousins twice removed!

DITTO W., my exact sentiments!!

I'm sick of dynasties period! No more Bushes, Clintons, Kennedys.....

Nationally our country has Bush fatigue at this point (I of course include myself in this group), but I've heard that Jeb was popular when he left office in Florida. He also has name recognition and likely a large donor base. Al Rantel even said the other night he knows and likes Jeb. But CV has a point, with a population of over 300 million, are we forever stuck with Bushs, Clintons, Kennedys, (with now Caroline likely in the US Senate). And GWB, like his father, did much damage to conservatism.

He is probably figuring if he can get in the Senate Americans memories are short, and they are. In 8 years they will have forgotten how bad the other 2 Bushes were.
