Months ago I posted a snarky comment about how I couldn’t bear the thought of another Clinton-Bush race.
Be careful what you wish for. Of all the Republican candidates, Jeb Bush was the most reasonable and the most moderate, and that includes Kasich. He probably would have made, if not an exciting or transformative President, a reasonable President. If you compare him to Trump or Cruz or Rubio, he was the adult among rather silly teenage boys.
Unfortunately, he was an inept campaigner, and that’s being kind. In presidential politics, the most qualified candidate is sometimes not the nominee. The Republican race this year certainly proves that. I for one will miss Jeb Bush.
