In the strongest sign to date that he intends to seek the 2016 Republican Presidential nomination, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush has officially resigned his position as George W. Bushs brother. No longer being related to his brother is a key step to clearing Jebs path to the nomination, an aide said on New Years Day. We expect his poll numbers to soar on this. According to the aide, the former Florida governor resigned his post as brother in a ten-minute phone call with George W. Bush, after which he blocked the former Presidents phone number and e-mail address. In an official statement, George W. Bush said that he understands and supports his former brothers decision. If I were him, I would no longer be related to me either, he said.
