2016: A Bush-Clinton rematch?
This is going to happen people.
It's about as close to a done deal as it can be.
And it doesn't surprise me at all.

It's hard to understate the depth of the Bush-Clinton impact on American politics. Think of it this way: For 32 years, there was either a Bush or a Clinton in the White House or the Cabinet. And in 2016, the families could be competing again -- in a Jeb Bush vs. Hillary Clinton face off.
Whether that should come to pass has been a topic of lots of debate and speculation -- even inside the Bush family.
After Barbara Bush made her now infamous pronouncement last year on the "Today" show that Jeb should sit it out ("We have enough Bushes," she said), there's been lots of private family discussion.
But in an exclusive interview with CNN, Jeb's brother, Neil, made it clear that his dad -- George H.W. Bush -- wants his son to run, no matter what his wife says.

This is a little tangential, but you mentioned Neil Bush. Probably the worst of them all. The most incompetent, the most screwed up, and the most entitled. And the treatment doled out to his ex-wife Sharon, who finally refused to take any more of his bullshit philandering with Asian hookers on his "business trips", was/is pretty disgraceful. Particularly the vindictiveness of the old woman who was nothing short of vicious with Sharon for having the audacity to dump her good for nothing son.

I agree with that vicious old battleaxe, we've had enough shrubs for several generations.

I was a state employee here in Florida during the eight years that this arrogant prick was Governor.
I want to see this match up because I want to see Jeb Bush get a beat down.

I think it's long overdue that we had a woman president, and while I would much prefer Elizabeth Warren, I see Hillary as the one that can make that happen.
I don't find her all that likeable either, but I think she is a real Alpha Bitch that can get things done.
Hell, I hated LBJ, but in hindsight he got a lot of good legislation passed. Civil Rights and Medicare to name two.

She was present and capable, but has nothing I'd consider as striking acomplishments to point towards. That idiotic "Reset" idea was laughably silly. I can't think of anything great that she's ever done with the exception of marrying Bill. I wonder if I should call her a dirty name since Jeb was called an arrogant prick.

You find Hillary detesable because she may run for President and for exactly the same reasons that anybody runs for president?
She's no more ambitious than any of them. You think she's more ambitious and desirous of power than Ted Cruz or Marco? Or Rick Perry??? You think any of them give a shit about the country? Here's what she is JC, she's smarter and has more guts than anybody else currently in consideration. Throw out the name of any Republican who might run against her...it would take me less than a nanosecond to decide who I'd go out and canvass for.
And...right now (and for a long time actually) she is, in every legitimate poll taken, the most popular politician in the country. Whether you like her or not.
