What Will Jeb Do?

Wall Street Journal: “The suspense will continue to build as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush arrives in Washington for his education think tank’s annual conference, his first major public appearance since the midterm elections marked the unofficial beginning of the 2016 election cycle. His keynote speech Thursday is expected to steer clear of presidential politics, though it will reinforce one of the trickiest challenges he would face as a candidate—his support for national academic standards known as Common Core.”

“Meantime, Republican donors are watching and waiting for a verdict that will shape the wide-open race like few other early developments.”

“Mr. Bush has said he would make up his mind by the end of the year. If he runs, he is poised to sweep significant money off the playing field from big GOP donors whose loyalty to the Bush family dates back decades.”
