I don't think Jeb will get very far in his attempt to become the next President.
We didn't forget about the 2000 Presidential election debacle in Florida.
And this time, Jeb can't rely on Katherine Harris, or the Supreme Court, the way George Dubya did.
Jeb is an accomplished liar, much smoother and much more polished than George Dubya ever was.
So, he may fool a lot of people early on, but he doesn't have any credibility left after 2000, in my opinion.
We've already had one too many Bushes in the White House anyway.
Unless the mainstream media gets behind him early next year, I don't think Jeb will be able to raise much money for his campaign.
A lot of things can change before 2016, of course, but I think the Republicans will have to pick someone else to be their nominee.
I think the main reason Jeb will have a much tougher time becoming their nominee is because of the knee-jerk reaction the GOP just had to President Obama's Executive Order concerning immigration reform.
I think the GOP party truly wants to appeal to more Mexicans/Latinos/Hispanics by 2016, but they are just too fucking racist to figure out how to get their votes.
