It is a strange perspective for any politician to have. "I retired from office eight years ago, but how come I cannot win the same high office in 2016 that my father won in 1988 and older brother won in 2000?"

Only once before the Bush family did any family have both a father and son serve as President as John Adams and John Quincy Adams did in the early days of the Republic. Benjamin Harrison was the grandson of who became president 50 years after William Henry Harrison and that also was very unusual.

But apparently former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida thought that his family name by itself was all the reason he needed run for president after his retirement 8 years ago. There is no one else to blame for the flat-line Bush campaign. Not Marco Rubio or any other candidate was responsible for the failure of Jeb Bush to win over voters.  

Jeb simply did not have any real reason to run for president apart from his family name and his own ambition.  Maybe now he will face reality and retire for good. As Jeb said yesterday in New Hampshire, "Please clap."
