Actress and liberal activist Alyssa Milano apparently believes former Florida governor and failed Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush should “seriously” consider challenging President Trump in 2020.
“If [I] were @JebBush, I’d seriously be considering a run,” Milano tweeted.
Why in the world would this left-wing Democrat be encouraging another Republican to run? Does she believe the more than 20 Democrats running aren’t good enough to get the job done?
Because she might be right about that. Milano also obviously doesn’t remember what a colossal disaster it was for Jeb Bush the last time he took a shot at the White House.
Bush spent over $150 million in the 2016 Republican primaries with nothing to show for it.
“Presidential hopeful Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, suspended his campaign Saturday night after a crippling defeat in the South Carolina primary,” Money reported at the time. “It was a tough loss for the Republican, made all the more bitter when you consider how much money he raised and spent on his abandoned campaign.”
As of January 31, Bush had raised more than $118 million through the Right to Rise Super PAC and about $32 million directly through his campaign. That’s the most of any candidate save Hillary Clinton, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. An additional $55,000 came from Millennials Rising, another conservative super PAC.
Needless to say, some had fun with Bush’s campaign misfortune.
But the reason this would be a bad idea goes far beyond just dollars and cents.
One of the biggest reasons Donald Trump steamrolled the entire field of Republicans in 2016 was precisely because he was not an establishment candidate based in Washington, DC. Voter wanted something different. It’s why the country rejected Hillary Clinton.
It’s why they wouldn’t be enthusiastic about electing another Bush.
What Republicans need to do is support this president and make sure the Democrats lose again in 2020. Obviously, that’s not what Alyssa Milano wants, hence her advice.
Hopefully Republicans have better judgment than to listen to a radical leftists who so eagerly wants their party to lose.

They want a ONE WORLD ORDER SO THEY CAN DICTATE TO ALL IN THE USA AND NEVER LOSE POWER EVER AGAIN!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE GET OUT AND VOTE FOR FREEDOM NOT TYRANNY!!!!!
Dead men don't lie!
It was a big mistake for Jeb Bush to rejoin the Democratic party. Now he has to worry about being hunted by the dead.
If she ever had a brain, it's disconnected from any source of power.
Poor Jeb would be kindling for the bonfire that would be created when President Trump lights up all the dumb dems and destroys them all.
