(19,477 posts)It's inevitable. On top that, there's always nostalgia for the past, and the past always gets painted in rosy colors.
However, I think that a Jeb candidacy will bring Bush disgust back.

They are more comfortable with it.
Jeb will run and he will be a formidable opponent.
Remember, he's the "smart" one!

(18,837 posts)...the freepers hated his ass.
They STILL call him "Juan McCain" over his "shamnesty" attempts in immigration.
But once it got down to it, when they knew they had NO other options, they started saying things like "The Straight Talk express is ROLLING!"
It was hilarious and tragic all at the same time...watching them muster false enthusiasm for a guy they loathed.
So the freepers, at least, will "pull a Romney" and once more get behind a guy they know is destined to fail, at least in 2016, if it comes down to that.

(20,606 posts)If the Democrats run a weak campaign, like Kerry did, it gives him a shot.
Especially, if it's close enough to fudge the numbers.
One would think the BUSH name has been forever soiled, but it's not.
