Readers React: No Jeb Bush, by George!

I agree with Jonah Goldberg that Jeb Bush will probably not be president, but for different reasons. (“Why Jeb Bush’s turn may not come,” Opinion, May 12)

The simple fact is this: George W. Bush ruined the family name. No Bush will inhabit the White House again in the foreseeable future. It’s not because Jeb Bush is not conservative enough or hasn’t fired up the base. On the contrary, it’s because his brother has tarnished the name by leading this country into two wars that weren’t paid for and ruining the U.S. economy.

Americans have long memories. We will never forget the legacy of George W. Bush.
