Former President George W. Bush says he thinks his brother Jeb wants to be president.
In an interview with FOX News, the former president says Jeb Bush understands what it takes to run for and serve as the commander in chief.
"Yes, I think he wants to be president," he said. "I think he'd be a great president. He understands what it's like to be president -- for not only the person running or serving, plus family, he said.
Bush added that his brother is "a very thoughtful man and he's weighing his options."

(2,682 posts)as my father used to say, Hrumph, I know where there's a lot of people who want ice water. He was, of course, referring to hell. Which, in this case, is what we would have if we had yet another Bush in the White House.

(17,656 posts)He has about as much of a chance of becoming President of the United States as Mike Huckabee . . . . none!
The truth is, the Republicans have run out of new ideas, new marketing methods, and they can't buy any more votes!
They hate women.
They hate gays.
They hate anyone who is not a Christian.
They hate minorities.
They hate college students.
They hate poor people.
They hate sick people.
They hate old people.
They hate immigrants.
So, their party is dying out.
Keith Olbermann talked about this on his old tv program, "Countdown" many times when he kept mentioning the fact that the Whig party used to be a majority party in this country, a little over 150 years ago.
What we are witnessing today is the death of another major political party.
And it ain't going to be pretty.

(70,435 posts)They have two drives: 1) Feeding from the public trough. 2) Getting vengeance on their enemies.
For #1, they go back generations in their governmental/financial complex; government jobs; "My boys have a right to make a living" = Neil fleecing us through the S&L, Shrub and the others profiting from front companies going broke; Jeb Crow Shrub with CIA-Cuban partners in Medicare scams involving suitcases full of cash. And we don't even know the extent of their doings.
For #2, the main motivator for Shrub has been to wreak revenge on his, Poppy's, and the BFEE's enemies: First act of his Coup, sealing Poppy's presidential records; Saddam, Dan RATHER, GORE, whomever. Shrub first took vengeance on his own Poppy, must have smarted that he exceeded Poppy's ONE term, and vengeance on Jeb Crow Shrub by stealing the top spot for himself.
And every single thing they do is without regard to the best interests of the country, especially undermining democracy and stealing elections (1980 for starters).
Tiberius, no piker himself, when he pondered inflicting Caligula as his heir, said he was leaving a viper to Rome. What did Rome do to him? Well, Shrub's ultimate vengeance on us all, now that he's beaten Jeb Crow Shrub is to inflict him on us. What did *we* do?!1
