Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush (R-FL) has indicated on Twitter and Facebook that he is actively exploring a run for the White House in 2016. This announcement is no great surprise, as he has been toying with this decision for years, and facilitating for faux leaks. Last week, the press reported Jeb's secret meeting with Senator John McCain (R-AZ) on how to win the nomination without pandering and presumably circumventing the influence of the Tea Party.
The two term Governor has a name which acts as a two edge sword, as he is the son of President George H.W. Bush and brother of President George W. Bush. Due to the legacy and residual resentment for "41" and "43", a prospective "45" may find that his surname is a four letter word in more ways than one.
Thus Jeb Bush seeks to be run on his own record. So as Jeb explores embarking on a run for the White House, voters ought to explore Jeb's record and his fundamental policy positions.
Gov. Jeb Bush has been outspoken about encouraging amnesty and comprehensive immigration reform. In addition, Governor Bush was noted for making educational improvements to the Sunshine State's school system. However, his steadfast support of Common Core brings charges of crony capitalism benefiting establishment Republicans with education businesses. By endorsing effective immigration amnesty and Common Core are not popular among grassroots Republicans. No wonder why Jeb visited "Juan" McCain for his advice.
There is little doubt what Jeb will find in his explorations. Republican Party activists might find a white elephant and certainly a RINO.
