According to The Moderate Voice, the Crown Prince John Ellis' recent donor smoozing activity, and most especially his wedge-baiting commencement address at a college in Pennsylvania portend the very good likelihood of JEB! 2016. In short, he is probably "in."
The article acknowledges that if he is "in," he better be ready to be "in for it:"
"...what is likely to come [is]: a bruising fight within his own party where his brother’s failures and unpopularity will be chained around his neck like an anchor, and an instant collection of Bush foes in and out of the party who cringe at the thought of a third Bush in the White House."
Politcal blogger Martin Longman lays out the stark dynastic advantage Hillary will have in comparison to JEB!:
"...Bill Clinton is Hillary's greatest asset and there is simply no denying it. If we can point out some downsides to their relationship, it all pales in comparison to Bill's ability to compare his presidency to the two Bushs' presidencies. His record may be flawed, but it trounces the records of the most recent Republicans presidents. The connections the Clintons have, the experience, and the good will they enjoy with a wide swath of non-Obama voters all add up to a massive advantage over any Democratic alternatives, and certainly over any prospective Republican candidates not named Jeb. And, frankly, Jeb is not only saddled with the records of his father and brother, but also lacks the same kind of cross-over appeal with non-Romney or non-McCain voters."
This coming from a guy who says:
"...I am not even a fan of the former president [Bill Clinton]. I still resent him for his personal failings, his policy shortcomings, and some of his behavior during the 2008 primaries. But I'm not an idiot. [when it comes to knowing who would win a Hillary-JEB! matchup.]"
