Jeb Bush Is A Step Toward The Republican Nomination For The US Presidency

The step behind the former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who announced that finally, will not compete for the US presidency in 2016, paving the way of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, now best positioned between the moderate wings of the Republican Party.

Romney surprised three weeks ago with his intention to stand for the third time as a candidate after the defeat of 2012 against Democrat Barack Obama, who was reelected president at the time, and failure in the 2008 primaries against John McCain.

Thus, the emergence of Romney in the pools of candidates for 2016 shook the Republican Party and was received coolly among his coreligionists, under the general view that training requires a politician with less drag back the White House after eight years out of power, indicates Efe.

Romney’s entry in the disputed race Republican hopefuls especially harmed Jeb Bush, both competing for the support of the party apparatus and moderate conservative voters.

Both also have greater recognition and revenue capacity, which places now Jeb Bush as the best placed to inherit donor’s former governor of Massachusetts.

After hearing the news on Friday, Bush rushed post a message on Facebook in which he recognized the trajectory of his partner and expressed his desire to work together in the future, a comment that was interpreted in some quarters as a veiled hint of a potential future presidential “ticket”.

“Mitt is a patriot and I am one of many who expect their days serving our nation and our party has not been completed,” Bush said, stressing that the decision taken by the former governor “is not easy”.

‘A new generation’

Romney argued their way back into the GOP needs a new generation of less-known leaders, a jug of cold water to the former governor of Florida, who is 61 and won his last election in 2002.

“I think one of our next generation of Republican leaders, one that may not be as famous as I am today, one that has not yet been able to get their message across the country, one that is starting, perhaps emerge and that is best to defeat the Democratic candidate, “said Romney, as cited by Efe.

“In fact, I hope and wish that this is the case,” he added.

Romney’s opinion is shared by some Republican strategists who believe that the best way to fight a policy with much baggage as Hillary Clinton is to present a novel alternative.

Jeb Bush is not the only breathing quieter since Romney decided to step back: the governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, also vying for moderate sector and would have been very difficult for him to raise enough money to compete with two totems as tax collection Romney and Bush.

Was there an agreement?

Romney met privately with Bush last week in Utah and had scheduled a meeting with Christie Friday of that information has not leaked yet.

The meeting in Utah there was speculation in the press that could have served to bring forward an agreement that Romney is far away from the primaries with the guarantee of being chosen as running mate if Bush gets the nomination, a strategy that has not been confirmed for their teams.

The race for the Republican primary, which began informally with the announcement of Jeb Bush in December, is presented as one of the most contested in its history.

“A difficult test and a tough fight,” as predicted Romney to announce that not compete despite being “sure” that would have earned the nomination of his party.

The republican tradition

But between the Republican traditions of choosing his anointed early. Although not without a fight and some speed bumps along the way, the candidate ends almost always be the nominee.

However, according to The Washington Post think this is a particularly unstable for Republicans, who struggle to define the identity of the party in the middle of a war between its different factions time. There are also a number of new and potentially attractive faces in the scene, which for many would be the strongest party card.
