Sunday Talk Interviews Show Why Jeb Bush Will Never Be President - The Daily Beast

Do we really want to entertain this??  The first Bush was not reelected, the second one was tied to rabid conservatives who ended up not liking him - two filed Bushes.  Do we really want to play this game again looking for a different result?


On five talk shows Sunday morning, Jeb Bush reminded America why he’ll never be president: it’s hard to distance yourself from your own last name.
Unfortunately for Jeb, history is written by historians. Three times since 2009, pollsters have asked them to rank American presidents, and in those rankings, W. has come in 36th, 39th, and 31st. Only Millard Fillmore, Warren Harding, William Henry Harrison, Franklin Pierce, Andrew Johnson, and James Buchanan rank lower. Ordinary Americans agree. Three times since George W. Bush left office, pollsters have asked the public to rank recent presidents. And three times, W. has ended up second to last, ahead of only Richard Nixon.
