With eye on 2016, Jeb Bush resigns from all boards

Will it be Bush/Clinton? Both have lineage.

Oh lord, I hope not. George W was a buffoon, and according to my parents, his father was just as bad.

I think the Bush family should stay out of politics, as none of them appear to be that smart.

Karl Rove says Hillary is brain damaged, but the third Bush is probably crazy too.

I think Jeb Bush could be the Mitt Romney of 2016 - the Republicans will keep trying to get another candidate nominated, he'll be reasonably popular with the core Republican vote, and will be toxic to the floating voters who decide the election.

The Clinton brand isn't as damaged, but a Clinton-Bush runoff would probably increase political cynicism and disenfranchise more people.

Who would run on the democratic side aside from Hillary? I don't pay much attention to American politics.

Jeb Bush may be the best of the three, but I'd rather not see political dynasties.

If it was Bush vs Clinton, I'd take Bush.

I'm not sure who else is a contender for the liberals, but I think Hillary is a good bet. And I think she would do well against Jeb. I'm not sure the world could take another Bush. And what if Darth Cheney gets appointed to an important position? That could be bad.

I think Jeb is a good bet on the right.

I hope it isn't Hillary on the left for a lot of reasons.

1. She's nearly as bad economically as Jeb would be.

B. We need to go back to fielding white men only on both sides so all those crazy TeaParty douchebags will get bored and go back to watching professional wrestling.

3rd. Hillary sucks (but not in the good way, according to Bill).
