Barbara Bush is right - By Joan Walsh

[DonViejo]

Known for her candor, the former first lady says Jeb shouldn’t run -- because “we’ve had enough Bushes.” Correct

BY JOAN WALSH

We heard it repeatedly during the 2012 campaign and its sad aftermath for the GOP: The party’s silver lining was its “deep bench” of 2016 contenders. Paul Ryan and Chris Christie, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, Bobby Jindal and Scott Walker — they were younger than Mitt Romney; they brought racial and ethnic diversity; Christie would bring a little ideological diversity, too, coming from the almost extinct wing of Northeastern Republicans. 2016 promised to be a bracing, exciting battle for the new soul of the party.

So I’ve found it a sad commentary on GOP rebuilding that there’s been so much talk this week about the likelihood and desirability of a Jeb Bush candidacy. And apparently one influential Republican, his mother, Barbara, agrees with me.

“He’s by far the best-qualified man, but no,” the former first lady told NBC’s Matt Lauer when he asked if she wanted her son, the former Florida governor, to run for president. “I really don’t. I think it’s a great country. There are a lot of great families, and it’s not just four families, or whatever. There are other people out there that are very qualified. We’ve had enough Bushes.”

Indeed.
