What if Jeb Bush had won his 1994 Gubernatorial and gotten the nod to be GOP nominee in 2000 instead of his brother?
He likely carries Florida by a clear margin. With luck, most people never hear the phrase 'hanging chad'.
My impression is he'd do better in Florida and with tempermentally moderate suburbanites but worse with populist types.
Well in order to understand how a Jeb 2000 would do, we should look at how Jeb 2016 ended up doing. Obviously we know that the Jeb 2016 campaign was a hilarious train wreck of a campaign which would suggest his 2000 campaign likely would not of being a particularly well run one.
How did his terms as Governor go?
I meant how does his 1994 and 1998 terms go in TTL.Rather well. He was re-elected in '02 with 56% of the vote. '98 Had been 55%. Often, the largest criticism of him seemed to be that he had a certain brother.

Getting Jeb to win in 1994 would be difficult. There’s a reason Walkin’ Lawton was/is so popular.
I might help if Jeb avoided his "probably nothing" gaffe. http://dailycaller.com/2015/01/10/jeb-in-94-i-would-do-probably-nothing-for-african-americans/Getting Jeb to win in 1994 would be difficult. There’s a reason Walkin’ Lawton was/is so popular.
