Several reasons for why Jeb is a lousy candidate.
First, Jeb is too wonkish to be the Republican nominee in the year of our Lord and Savior 2016. Furthermore, his positions and record on a few critical right-wing litmus tests (Common Core, immigration, etc.) won't endear him to the base. Also, while a lot of the Establishment may still desperately want him, there is a growing realization that he is a terrible politician on the national stage even though he has mainstream conservative policy-making credentials. Moreover, the right-wing billionaire (Kochs et. al.) /SuperPAC money is behind Scott Walker, if anything. Finally, his surname is still rather toxic among the electorate, and I question whether he really wants to be President as much as he did in the 90s (before his brother upstaged him) or if he feels that he is obligated to "redeem" his family name.
It won't be Jeb.
