Jul 2012

Jeb Bush shared his regrets of not running for president in 2012 in a recent interview. "This was probably my time," Bush told CBS News in an interview to air Thursday morning. "There's a window of opportunity, in life, and for all sorts of reasons."

Jeb Bush, The younger brother of President George W. Bush and the son of President George H.W. Bush, added he probably would not have won in 2012: "Although I don't know, given what I believe and how I believe it, I'm not sure I would have been successful as a candidate, either... These are different times than just six years ago, when I last ran, or even longer than that."

Fox News reports:
MIAMI -- Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has said in an interview that he probably should have run for president in 2012.
