If Bush 3 runs it will be a done deal for the Democrats...Democrats will vote for Bush in the Republican primaries so that he will win the primary...There aren't enough Republicans who would vote for another Bush under any circumstances so it's an automatic win for the Democrats...

They know this in Washington...If the Republicans in Washington force Bush on us it's because they want to lose...

I have listened to both GOP and Dem strategists on the issue.

They anticipate a Clinton vs. Bush election.

They don't care about those that won't vote for "another" Bush or "another" Clinton...

They think that is a "wash"...and those that will vote will be party loyalists and a Dem party loyalist wouldn't vote for a Bush and a GOP party loyalist wouldn't vote for a Clinton.

So they are happy to have the "others" not show up at the polls...and have a competition between establishments.

Bush will get a boost with the Latino vote..."The first President that can cross the aisle and solve immigration!"
Clinton will get a boost from women..."The first woman President ever!"

The media will conveniently point out John Adams (2nd President) and his son John Quincy Adams (6th President)...in a bid to legitimize the dynasty principle.

Both Hillary and Jeb have important things...Large and established contributor networks $$$$ and strong political connections....Money and who you know...and they beat the heck out of all the competition in those areas.
