King George I HW: conceit meets dementia?

According to Politico: "Friends say Jeb Bush's father is eager for his son to run, even telling a visitor at a recent family gathering in Kennebunkport, Maine, that a presidential campaign and a return of the family dynasty to power was a near certainty."

A campaign, either now with JEB! or in ten years with Prince George P., is a near certainty, because the Bush family's pathetic, inflated and boundless sense of entitlement is never-ending. But if old Poppy really thinks the return to power of his spawn is a "near certaintly, he is demented as well as conceited.


There is essentially no chance that the voters in 2016 will elect a third Bush in what amounts to a generation (within the last quarter century), and JEB!, just two terms out from W.'s catastrophic presidency, won't sell to anyone but his immediate family, the fat cat's who would bankroll him, the kleptocrats who stand to make a financial killing under another Bush, and the die hard and deluded neocons who yearn for another large war in the Middle East.  There is no doubt Jeb, without any prodding from his apparently now senile father, believes he is absolutely entitled to his turn in the White House, but if he has even an ounce more sense than his dumb brother, he has to know it's beyond his (and Karl Rove's) reach. 

Breitbart.com says "Jeb Bush will try to sell amnesty, common core to GOP primary voters if he runs." With Rove's help, he can easily buy and strong arm his way to the Republican nomination, but if he shows too much Bush conceit in "selling" open borders, peonage work permits, and for profit education cronyism, he will step over the bodies of some of the voters he needs to beat Hillary. 

The very idea of a third Bush in a quarter century is, quite frankly, laughable, and candidate JEB! will be laughed at by millions. And millions will sit home on election day in 2016.
