I'd look first to people poking holes in some of his most important achievements as Governor (namely the state budget, his state education reform, and so on). A bit more tangible than the minutiae found in one email of potentially millions.I'm skeptical about the emails being the biggest point of risk.
Early in, early out.
Jeb Bush has now announced that he has formed a political action committee and is going to explore a run for the presidency. This is big news because Bush can command attention, particularly of those who are interested in writing checks to presidential candidates.That means at the very least, if you are one of the candidates still seriously thinking about running for president, you have to let those who you were courting know that they shouldn't fall in love with Bush just yet.Mitt Romney left the impression recently with one of his backers that I talked to that he would not consider another run if Bush entered the race.

I kind of doubt that I'll have time to read all of those emails, but I might skim over them.
I don't believe that America's voters are going to establish a Bush dynasty and I don't believe that Jeb Bush's name is going to put him in the White House
What do you guys think?

Quite simply, if Jeb Bush runs, he'll be the next President of the United States.

No, he'll lose with 47 to 48% of the vote and, once again, conservatives will despise the Republican Party. He is a left of center big government neocon.
His a right wing authoritarian like his brother, his father, Obama, Clinton or for that matter Reagan. They are all in the upper right authoritarian square of the scale.
The only way that he'll ever be in the White House is as a guest.
Wait and see. November 2016 isn't that far off.

I'm not a bit interested in Jeb Bush candidacy. But I wonder how long it will take for the "MSM" to dredge up his daughter's problems.
Jeb Bush is an advocate of Common Core. Does this sound conservative? Or someone who believes in Big government total control from the top - and new he wants to be at the very top as President:
Common Core eliminates local control over K-12 curriculum in math and English, instead imposing a one-size-fits-all, top-down curriculum that will also apply to private schools and homeschoolers.
Universal testing standards that all school districts must employ as a condition of a student advancing to the next grade.
Common Core amasses large amounts of personal information about students. Michelle Malkin cites research by Joy Pullmann of the Heartland Institute, who discovered a report by the Department of Education revealing that Common Core's data mining includes “using cameras to judge facial expressions, an electronic seat that judges posture, a pressure-sensitive computer mouse and a biometric wrap on kids’ wrists.”
Criticisms include requiring textbooks that are to indoctrinate children. For example, to 5th graders:
One of the examples that has sparked a recent outcry was a grammar exercise that used the sentence, “The commands of government must be obeyed by all.” Did the worksheet given to fifth-graders in Texas and elsewhere intend to indoctrinate them with the idea?
The exercise instructed students to change several sentences using possessive nouns: “The choices of the president affect everyone. He makes sure the laws of the country are fair. The commands of government officials must be obeyed by all. The wants of an individual are less important than the well-being of the nation.”
Others point out materials present issues such as global warming and gay rights as factual truisms that students are then tested on giving the correct answer.
The core of the complaints is that this is dictated out of Washington DC, not local school boards. Federal education money is tied to states agreeing to let Common Core set the agenda, materials and testing, punishing states who do not surrender such power to the nation agenda.
Doesn't sound very conservative or Republican, does it?
But that is Jeb Bush's view, openly.
Considering the vitriol expressed by many here to a Jeb Bush candidacy, I'd say he's got the nomination in the bag.
