1. He's not named Bush.
2. He's not a convicted criminal or facing a criminal conviction.
3. He's not a complete psychopath (close but no cigar).

TPTB are not going to allow some fruitcake like Cruz or Paul to get in there and decide to end the Fed because of some internet conspiracy theory their father told them about. Christie and Perry are closer to the jail house than the White house and the name Bush is synonymous with fail.
