The Bush organization has begun pushing Jeb Bush for president very hard now - and have the money to do it.
Would you vote for Jeb Bush?
Would you vote for him?

Depends who's running against him. If it were Hillary on the other side I'd have no choice. :shrug:

While many two-term governors leave office with slumping favorability ratings, Governor Bush enjoys favorability ratings of 63 percent among Floridians. Governor Bush proposed and signed into law meaningful education, spending and taxation, health care, and environment policies that have set a transformative course for the state.
Education
Governor Bush is often referred to as Florida’s “education governor.” He is a long-time champion of school choice. Prior to his election, he founded Liberty City Charter School in Miami, which was Florida’s first public charter school.
“When I left office there were 223,000 more Florida students reading successfully and 234,000 more students doing math on grade level or higher than when I became governor. Their progress and increased chances for a successful future are what I am most proud of.”
Jeb Bush
I've heard it said, by someone who knew both men, that Jeb was the smarter Bush by far than Dubya.
Nonetheless I do not particularly favor him for the Repub candidate.
If the choice ends up being Jeb or Hillary, then yes I will vote for him... mainly just to keep Hillary out of the white house.
I am more likely to vote for Rand Paul than Jeb.. I don't want the establishment to win.
Why keep Hillary out of the White House?
I thought dp was about making choices for positive reasons .
I'd consider it, yes. Judging by a last name only or voting in protest against a supposed "political dynasty" is foolish.

Liberty City is Miami's poorest black neighborhood. What does Hillary have to offer in terms of successful public education reform, Bill's "midnight basketball" program?

In my case I wouldn't have an huge issue with either in the White House, and certainly wouldn't waste my vote on some populist "anti-dynasty" tripe. Who I would vote for would likely depend on the circumstances and party narratives at the time of the election.If you voted against the Clinton dynasty, you'd just be voting for the Bush dynasty.
More concern to me are the two current hottest "wars" in the GOP, Immigration and Cheney/Paul .
Most of us non-Floridians have not seen his economic record in Florida.I'm totally done with milquetoast "compassionate conservative" Republicans. I want a smaller government with MUCH less consolidated power and Bush isn't going to provide that. Neither is Christie or Ryan.

Wouldn't vote for him at all.

As far as I'm concerned the Federal government is totally out of control and has become more a hindrance to this nation than a help. We need to pass more power back to the states and the people of the states. To that end the most important elections are the state and local elections as well as the elections for congress.
