Jeb was a "hot" topic on this past "Face the Nation" as talking head John Dickerson waxed hopeful about Jeb's presence in the 2016 GOP race. The biggest "laugh out loud" comment was this one: "...there's a competition for the biggest impediments, because he's got a few. I mean, let's focus just the narrow one. I mean, one is he hasn't run a race since 2002. Things have changed a lot in politics." If anyone thinks that is Jeb's biggest problem, they haven't been paying attention for the last fifteen years. Dickerson seemed to find some sanity as he continued babbling: "...he would be attacked on both his family legacy, not just about Iraq but about his father's supporting of tax increases, his brother's lack of spending restraint...So there are both issue reasons, family reasons, and also just personal reasons that he would have some hurdles." And he dealt with the problem of plutocracy and the purchase of the nomination for Jeb in this oblique way: "...there's also no frontrunner in the Republican party and he also has a name, and so he would have a shot."
