Politico reports on Jeb Bush’s surprisingly frank confession that he believes 2012 was his “time” to run for the presidency, and that he may now have missed his chance:
“This was probably my time,” Bush told “CBS This Morning,” referring to the ongoing presidential campaign. “There’s a window of opportunity, in life, and for all sorts of reasons.”
I think we can all quite happily do without a third member of the Bush dynasty ascending to the presidency and making a mockery of American meritocracy. Thanks for sitting this round out, Jeb.
That said, the Florida Republican doesn’t know whether he ever wants to be president.
“Have you made a decision that you don’t want to be president?” asked CBS host Charlie Rose.
“I have not made that decision,” Bush responded.
Uh-oh.
