*Breaking* Mitt Romney will not seek 2016 GOP nomination

A Bush/Rubio ticket. Florida's in the bag.



How in the hell is Jeb Bush going to defend his brother's legacy? I think that if Hillary wins she is guaranteed to be a one term president. McCain would have been if he had won also.

Man my head hurts just thinking about another Bush or Clinton in the WH. We can do better than that.

I don't think America will blame Jeb for his brother, since he wasn't in the administration. Hillary will more than likely have to defend Obama. Dems will want to remind people of the Clinton years, but her service in the Obama administration will likely hurt her against Jeb Bush. I think she was an easy win over Romney though as he would look elite and she would look more humble in comparison. Will be interesting to see the outcome though.

I don't think he'll have to. And if he does, I think he'll just be playing into the opposition's hands. His mantra can be "he ain't heavy, he's my brother." I don't f'n know.
He's his own person. I don't see another GOP candidate even coming close in the primaries. Rubio's presidential run is all but shot.

If Hillary Clinton gets Bill Clinton to run as her vice president they would probably win...maybe.
This is based on absolutely nothing. :)

Both the 12th and the 22nd amendments seem to say that he could not be VP. Of course the only real decision about that would be what the Supremes would say. Not sure that a candidate Hillary would want that legal battle started about 3 months before an election which traditionally is about the time that a VP on a ticket is chosen.
 
Would you vote for Jeb Bush, if so, why?

Yes, I would. First and foremost, he'd be the alternative to the democrat ticket. And from what I remember at the time, albeit from the other end of the country, he seemed like an effective governor. Those on the left would probably disagree, but he is looked at as a moderate with his stances on immigration and education in particular. He's definitely more moderate than who he'll likely be facing in the primaries. Part of it is curiosity; I want to see how that would work out and if that would lessen the acrimony in Washington. And if he did turn out to be a disastrous one-termer then I think that would settle that argument at least. I think he's going to be the eventual nominee regardless. He's got too much money backing him not to be.

What if Bill Clinton legally changes his name to Don Juan, then could he run as VP ??? :)

He'd get the Latino votes. :cool:
