The 2016 election (and who will win it) is in JEB!'s hands now

The Democrats better hope against hope that JEB! runs in 2016.  Since the donor class will certainly prevent someone like Ted Cruz from being the nominee, and thus just handing the election to Hillary, the next best near-sure-fire option for a Democratic presidential victory in 2016 is for the donor class to force the nomination of the Crown Prince.  JEB! has said repeatedly he will announce (or not) by the end of the year.  You can't take any Bush at their word, but the donors will demand an answer by spring, so the nation, and Hillary, should know their fate within about six months.  Hillary will not formally announce her intentions before JEB! does (she is not stupid enough to do that), and ironically she would be LESS likely to run (and more beatable) if JEB! bows out.

This week's Republican midterm victory doesn't really clear up the picture regarding JEB!  On one hand, the victory could embolden neocons, donors, and the Bush family to believe they can put another one over on the country, by hook or crook, and therefore make it more likely Bush will run, however, now that Prince George P. is safely ensconced in his new Texas sinecure and exercising control over oil and gas leases, and ready to hand out Common Core contracts to a feeding frenzy of curriculum profiteers, Bush family cronies, and hucksters, the 2024 Bush "Hispanic Obama" Restoration route looks rather promising.

Ron Paul had the best comment by anyone (politician, pundit, or media whore) about this election: The GOP gains in the Senate and House will embolden the neocons and hawks (in both parties) and make another war in the middle east more likely.
