Bush isn't electable. He's no different from McCain in '08. If the establishment pushes him, they are essentially throwing in the towel to the Dems. McCain wasn't legitimate opposition to Obama in '08, and Bush won't be opposition to Clinton in '16. And while we're at it, if the presidency is just going to be a token that gets transferred from the House of Bush to the House of Clinton every 10 years or so, can we just go ahead and have a monarchy already?
While I laughed at the House Bush/House Clinton sentiment, I think Jeb is electable. He is not his father or brother. He spent a lot of time in Mexico, speaks fluent Spanish, and married a Mexican. That will resonate with latino voters if they can get that message out. He owns Florida (a key swing state) and has the machine behind him. He helped raise Florida's education system, improving over 2.5 points nationally.
The only thing holding a lot of people back is his last name.

The last name is incredibly toxic, no doubt. But even if his name were Jeb Smith, he's got a massive hurdle ahead of him because of his support for Common Core. Most parents and teachers that are saddled with this, absolutely hate it. My wife's a schoolteacher, and she wouldn't vote for him because of it.
