Jeb Bush's son said it's "more than likely" his dad will run for president in 2016 in an interview that aired Sunday.
George P. Bush, Jeb Bush's eldest son, was interviewed by ABC News. The younger Bush is knee-deep in his own campaign this year, running for Texas land commissioner.
ABC's Jon Karl asked Bush whether his father is running for president.
"I think he's still assessing it," Bush said, offering the same demurral his father and other members of his family have given in recent months.
When Karl pressed Bush to offer a specific probability, Bush said, "It's more than likely that he's giving this a serious thought...and moving forward."
"More than likely that he'll run?" Karl asked.
"That he'll run," Bush responded. "If you had asked me a few years back, I would have said it was less likely." He added that if his father does decide to run, "The family will be behind him 100 percent."

Hillary will run and be backed by everyone with money, the Democratic base be damned.
The election will be to pick who can give Wall Street the most while singing the masses to sleep, and who can keep the wars going.

In the pictures of Pee (well, if we can can his uncle Dubya, we can call him Pee) as a child, his skin complexion seemed a lot darker than it does now. Suspicious.

(50,552 posts)Jeb probably will run for president in 2016. He will probably not be on the general election ballot because he's not far enough to the right for the teabaggers.
