Punchlines: Exploring possibility of potential presidential bid


It wasn't a definitive announcement, but it appears to be the most aggressive the nation has from any politician at the moment. Jeb Bush stated yesterday that he has created a committee to "actively explore" a 2016 presidential bid. And that committee is in addition to the one he was born into, as one comic points out. Concrete enough for you?

This means 2016 presidential politicking has come early, according to the comic who relishes the opportunity to, in the last week of his show, talk about a man who has been "teasing America for years."

Another comic points out that the Bush brother's best chance of winning may be to drop the last name and run solely as Jeb.
