Jeb Bush may be signaling an interest in a 2016 Run

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will speak for the first time at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, a clear sign that he is mulling a run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016. 
The American Conservative Union, which sponsors the conference, announced Tuesday that Bush will address the group, set for March 14-16 in National Harbor, Md., just outside Washington. Bush has been invited by the group to speak at CPAC several times, but this will be his first appearance. 
“We are pleased to announce that my friend Gov. Jeb Bush will be a featured speaker at CPAC 2013,” ACU Chairman Al Cardenas said in a statement.

I couldn't support Jeb Bush. This would be a big mistake if the GOP nominates Bush. The Bush's are responsible for the immigration problems today. The family's open borders policies and big government initiatives have bankrupted this country. Their big government programs gave Obama cover for his big government programs. If Hillary runs and if Jeb runs,Hillary will win in a landslide. It will be a repeat of the 1992 Bush/Clinton match up. We need a candidate who is not similar to Clinton but different like a Rand Paul.

Well said, Leighrow. I couldn't agree more.

The presidencies of Bush 41 & 43 were disastrous for this country. A Bush 45 presidency wouldn't be any better. Jeb should just go away. The last thing America needs is another Bush in the Oval Office.

'Dubya', BTW, is right up there with Obama and Clinton as one of the worst presidents in U.S. history.

His list of failures, starting with 9/11 and ending with the election & re-election of President Obama, is too long to itemize here.

Why do I blame 'Dubya" for 9/11 and Obama's 2008 & 2012 election victories?

Think about it. It's not too hard to figure out.

Newark, How long are you going to blame Bush 43 for future election losses?

I don't get it, but if you want to explain it I'm all ears. You usually do have some good points.

Rand Paul would be an excellent GOP nominee in 2016.

Ann Coulter thinks he's "too short" for that role, but then again, Ann also thought that Chris Christie would make a "fabulous" GOP nominee in 2012.

Rand is only 5'8" tall, but what he lacks in height, he more than makes up for in eloquence, intelligence and good old common sense.

I also like, in no particular order, Jim DeMint, Ted Cruz, Nikki Haley, Michele Bachmann, Allen West and Jim Jordan as potential 2016 GOP nominees.

But regardless of who wins the nomination, the GOP must have a female on the ticket in order to make inroads among female voters.

Romney's biggest mistake, aside from selecting Stuart Stevens to be his campaign strategist, was not choosing a female as his running mate.

Haley & Bachmann would've been superb running mates for Romney.

Even Susana Martinez - although I don't approve of her immigration policies - would've been far superior to Paul Ryan in terms of electability.

@ Martha

There's a REASON why Romney did not invite Bush 43 to the GOP convention in Tampa, and did not invite him to any other campaign events either.

Think about it.

While I don't agree with all that has been said about W. here, I do think another Bush candidacy is dead on arrival. Even if he were a superhero, I don't think we could elect him. While it's true that W. is pretty toxic, Obama should have been toxic with all he has done, but people keep punishing the GOP for not being perfect while allowing the democrats to destroy the country. No way should Obama have been reelected with an informed, thinking electorate. Unfortunately, critical thought has given way to emotion, which is the democrat's forte.

It appears that plenty of people on the other side of the aisle gave way to emotion in not voting for Romney. Some of that was religion, no doubt. The religion arguments were quieter this time around, but appear to have gone underground. Nobody talked about it openly, they just didn't vote. Sad.

Newark Hawk,

West and Bachmann -- you have to be kidding. Haley is not potus material, either.

I disagree with you about what kind of nominee we need. The people you mention have zero shot at the nomination or presidency! I see no sense of reality with those names.

Ted Cruz is making a good start, but he is also too new.

@ Martha

You're entitled to your opinion, even though you present ZERO FACTS to back it up.

Anonymous said...

Newark, what facts can I provide to you that would dissuade you from believing Allen West is a viable option? It's common sense, and it's obvious. He is unqualified and prone to say really inappropriate things.

-Martha

CRUZ COUNTRY said...

Allen West is a highly decorated war hero. If he's "not qualified" to be Commander-In-Chief, then nobody is.

I'm not aware of any inappropriate statements by West. Please update me. I'm all ears.

I too don't want a Bush. Too much baggage, and they are spendthrifts.

CRUZ COUNTRY said...

Martha -

Just ONE statement by West that was disqualifying.

Just one.

I'm all ears.
