A lot of people have counted out Bush. I wouldn't, not yet. The linked article is a Q&A with Mike Murphy, Bush's PACman who gives his rationale why Bush is still the one to beat on the Republican side.
He explains how Trump is a "Zombie front runner" and will eventually drop out or get beaten in the primary. Sounds about right, Trump is good material for the Dancing with the Stars people but in the end he has no chance. The American people are stupid but not that stupid, at least most of us.

Clinton will be the nominee on the Democratic party side. His only challenger is Bernie Sanders who is like trump, a Zombie front runner, or "Sheepdog", as some have called him who will be defeated in the primary if not sooner.
So we very well could end up with a Clinton versus Bush matchup which is perfect for a Revolution. There could be no better symbolism to match the state of this country than a Clinton/Bush Presidential election. What better could symbolize the failure of the political system in this country? What better could show the world that American democracy is the greatest farce on earth?
And what better opportunity to challenge the ruling class power?
It's perfect, I've said it before, a Bush versus Clinton contest is perfect for those of us who want to challenge the psycho's at the top who control everything. It's a perfect time to say Enough! to this faux democracy and to not only demand but take what is rightfully OURS, not the rich and super rich.
I don't know, I'm still not sure how it can be done though. I look around at the organizations and people who are most active in oppositional politics and I see none that are advocating a boycott of the next election. I'm not sure why, it seems like such an obvious tactic at this point. We know we don't live in a democracy and are about to be served up a Bush versus Clinton choice for President.
I can't believe we would let an opportunity like this pass. In fact, if we do let it pass, it might be the straw that broke the camel's back, the camel in this case being the prospect of ever winning the Class War.
Update: Watching the patterns in the ruling class media gives clues as to how it's all going to go down. These are today's headlines on CNN internet.
"The aggressive Jeb Bush that his allies have been waiting for emerged this week -- and it was an attack on his family that got him going.
The former Florida governor launched his most forceful attempt yet to paint Donald Trump as an unserious candidate unfit for the foreign policy decisions that face the country's commander in chief."
