Reasonable people can disagree on this point, but I would go with Jeb!, because he wasn’t a terrible governor, and he comes across as being a fundamentally decent and thoughtful guy who wouldn’t be in a huge hurry to engage in foreign adventures. In other words:
- He sounds more like his father than his brother; and
- The qualities that make him a lousy candidate in today’s superheated political environment could actually make him a tolerable President.
Marco occasionally displays some flashes of insight about the workings of the world in the 21st Century, but his obvious ambition and opportunism turn me off. Elect him, and you have no idea what you are getting, other than a man who literally sweats both the large and the small stuff.
