Jeb Bush, brother of former president George W. Bush, speculated to join the upcoming 2016 Presidential Race, dropped a hint about his candidacy in an interview with the media at a town hall in Reno, Nevada.

During the conversation, Jeb Bush emphasized that he is still contemplating on filing his candidacy for the 2016 Presidential Race. But Bush eventually revealed a clue of the speculation when he ended his sentence with his candidacy.

"I'm running for president in 2016 and the focus is going to be about how we, if I run, how do you create high sustained economic growth," said the former Florida governor, according to ABC News.

These hints were interpreted to some as negative and subjected to criticism.

In an earlier part of the conversation, Jeb Bush was asked about following his brother, George W. Bush's footsteps into a career in the White House. Jeb expressed that he will run in the 2016 Presidential Race and not in year 2000.

Though Jeb Bush already revealed what his platform would be should he run in the 2016 Presidential Race, but the former Florida governor placed the emphasis on the word "if." This vague hints are interpreted to some as a charade of a potential candidacy since Jeb Bush is already travelling around states and raising funds extensively.

Jeb Bush also defied the hypothetical questions that involved the U.S. troops, stating that this question was "disrespectful."

Jeb Bush may be a promising candidate to some, but some of the citizens perceive the former Florida governor to be just one of the Republicans. One of them expressed that Jeb Bush does not even know a thing or two about foreign policies just like the other aspiring Republican candidates for the 2016 Presidential Race.

Jeb Bush will be expected to finally announce his candidacy for the 2016 Presidential Race in the later part of spring and finally drop the "if" part of each of his propaganda. But for now, each political platform is still hypothetical.
