        On October 29, 2014, CNN published an editorial called, Why Jeb Bush shouldn't be president, based on the opinion that another Bush for president is too much for American society to handle. Author, Timothy Stanley, returned to the United States from Britain in order to "get a sense of the political mood in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election." But what he saw was something he did not like. It almost seemed like deja vu. 
        Timothy's mood after knowing who was running for the 2016 presidential elections was not satisfying. After seeing that the two major competitors are Hilary Clinton and Jeb Bush, he felt like our country had not "revolutionized". I agree with Timothy, this country has had too many Bushes and we need someone new, maybe a female president, or a third party candidate should rise to make a difference. Like when you are drinking the beer "Busch", after you've had two and feel a little affected by it, even though they were cheap, you know that you have to stop, or who knows how your system will take it. And after our second Bush, I don't think this country wants another one. Especially if the last one took us to war and screwed our system up.
        Timothy's opinion was in order to influence Americans that this country shouldn't desire another Bush, or even another Clinton in office. Timothy acknowledged that maybe Jeb wasn't that bad of a candidate (he at least felt Jeb had more personality than his brother and father), after recognizing that "Jeb would still be a more than worthy addition to the race that right now is full of newbies to national politics (Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, etc.)". Even Barbara Bush doesn't approve of another bush in office either (though she was told to shut up already) because of all of the drama. ""I think it's a great country, there are a lot of great families, and it's not just four families whatever. There are other people out there that are very qualified, and we've had enough Bushes."" Not only did Barbara's opinion target the Bush family but it also targeted the Clinton family. Timothy targeted two political party candidates, and it seems as if he wants a third party to rise and kick either the Democrats or Republicans off the voting plateau.
        Yes, there are too many known families competing for this country in the upcoming 2016 elections, (Bush, Clinton, and Paul). And though it may not change many opinions on who people want, it sure gives them something extra to think about and retrospect, whether they want another Bush, another Clinton, or someone different.
