DALLAS (Reuters) - Never mind the potential for name fatigue. Former U.S. President George W. Bush likes the idea of a 2016 presidential matchup between his Republican brother Jeb Bush and Democrat Hillary Clinton.
In an interview as part of the rollout of a book he has written about his father, former President George H.W. Bush, Bush said he is urging Jeb to try to make it three Bush presidents.
Jeb Bush, 61, is a former two-term governor of Florida who is considering entering the Republican presidential nomination race for 2016 and says he'll make up his mind by year's end.
"He's had the experience necessary to be president. He understands what it means to be a leader. He can appeal to different voter groups in an attractive way," George W. Bush told Reuters. "He's got vision," said Bush, adding, that if Jeb decides to run, "I'm all in" with helping him.
Any concerns Americans might have about a third president named Bush would be tempered by the presence of Hillary Clinton in the race, since her husband, Bill Clinton, served two terms as president, said Bush.
"There are some people thatll say theres no way Im going to vote for somebody with that name," said Bush. "Of course if he were to run against Hillary Clinton then I think the name issue would somewhat dissipate and then people would pick which one would be the leader. But neither one of them has declared and I really dont know if Jeb is going to run."

George W. Bush likes idea of Jeb Bush vs Hillary Clinton ...
Talk may be cheap, but politics isn't.
Just ask the Clintons. This year, Bill and Hillary Clinton's combined travel expenses for campaign rallies and fundraisers is likely to exceed $1 million, according to Buzzfeed, which analyzed available state and federal campaign finance reports.
Not surprisingly, Mrs. Clinton already taking heat for it.
The Republican National Committee seized on the Buzzfeed article and quickly came up with a new nickname for the possible 2016 presidential candidate: "high-flying Hillary," and her travel costs are the subject of an email sent by the RNC.
"The Clintons were already under fire for their lavish campaign travel tabs for weeks," the email says, according to The Hill. The RNC also points to a Bloomberg report that it cost more than $50,000 to fly the Clintons to the Harkin Steak Fry in September, when Hillary Clinton made her high profile return to Iowa.
What's behind the rising Clinton travel costs?
"Bill and Hillary Clinton were the most sought after surrogates in the Democratic Party this year," reports Buzzfeed. (That's largely because President Obama was considered a toxic surrogate in some states and races.)
And the Clintons were busy this election season. Hillary Clinton headlined 45 events in 19 states in a span of 54 days for the Democrats, between Sep. 9 and Nov. 1, according to the Washington Post.
The numbers are impressive: Bill campaigned for more than 47 candidates, Hillary for 26. Together, they headlined some 75 rallies and fundraisers and logged about 50,000 miles doing so. The average cost for each trip was about $21,000, and the total spent on airfare so far is $699,000.
And the Clintons don't fly economy class. They fly private, with multiple members of their Secret Service security detail. According to reports, Hillary Clinton often travels with about four people from the security detail and at least three aides from her personal staff.

'High-flying Hillary': Why the Clintons' campaign travel costs may top $1 million
In the old Soviet Union, Kremlinologists would read the state party newspaper Pravda not so much for the news it contained, but to glean what the commissars wanted readers to believe the commissars were thinking. The closest we have to that in America is the New York Times. Obviously, it's not a state organ and there are many fine journalists there, but it does play a similar role for the Democratic Party, often reporting less on what Democrats actually think and more on what Democrats want readers to believe is the current state of Democratic thinking.
Two days after the midterm Democratic Gotterdammerung, Team Clinton let it be known that it thinks the election was good news for it. "Midterms, for Clinton Team, Aren't All Gloom," proclaimed the understated headline in the Times. "A number of advisers saw only upside for Mrs. Clinton in the party's midterm defeats," reports Amy Chozick. There's no mention of any advisors seeing a downside. Indeed, a few sentences later, Chozick tells us there is a "consensus among those close to Mrs. Clinton that it is time to accelerate her schedule."
"In many ways," Chozick continues, "Tuesday's election results clear a path for Mrs. Clinton. The lopsided outcome and conservative tilt makes it less likely she would face an insurgent challenger from the left."
Maybe it's true that that there is a silver lining for Hillary Rodham Clinton in the shellacking her party took last week. Maybe her ineffective stumping for Democrats means nothing. Maybe a 17-percentage-point loss for putative Clinton Democrat Mark Pryor in Clinton's home base of Arkansas is a blessing in deep, deep, deep disguise. Maybe the staggering indifference of the Democratic coalition of young people and minorities on display last week is proof that they are really just husbanding their voting energies for 2016. And maybe the fact that the "war on women" shtick proved as stale as a 1980s sitcom catchphrase is irrelevant for a candidate so invested in her gender.
But the notion that this monumental rebuke of Clinton's party, and the administration she served in, amounts to an unambiguous Clinton win invites many to ask, "What you talkin' 'bout, Hillary?"
You can always tell you're being spun if the opposite facts would yield the same result. Does anyone doubt that if the Democrats Clinton vigorously campaigned for had held on to the Senate that the same people would be telling the New York Times that the election results were a boon for Clinton? If the midterm results are scaring away potential left-wing insurgents, why is Clinton Inc. expediting its schedule? Shouldn't the lack of a challenger make it easier for Clinton to lay low for a while longer?
Not according to this alleged consensus among her brain trust.
Chozick quotes from a "Ready for Hillary" fundraising email: "Now more than ever we need to show Hillary that we're ready for her to get in this race." "America needs Hillary's leadership."
Ah, so at a time when an unpopular president in profound denial about what the voters were saying on election day is tarnishing the whole Democratic brand, it makes irrefutably good sense for Clinton to further merge her own brand with her party's?
How will President Obama respond to the notion that Clinton must now assume the mantle of leader of her party, never mind the nation? What, exactly, can an out-of-work politician do that will actually provide tangible proof of her "leadership"? How will it help Clinton to distance herself from an incumbent president still popular among the base voters she will inevitably need in 2016? Frankly, I have no idea.

Democrats' loss is not a win for Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton got a somewhat inappropriate shout-out from British comic James Corden at Glamours Women of the Year awards at Carnegie Hall, where she was supporting her daughter, Chelsea, who was honored.
There is one woman here who I cannot take my eyes off, and theres one reason: Its because shes been undressing me with her eyes, incoming Late Late Show host Corden cracked, before addressing Clinton. You know how on Instagram they have weird-crush Wednesdays? Youre my weird crush everyday. I want to be your ambassador for defense, secretary for offense, I want to be your minister of romance. Youre a mom Id like to follow into the White House.
Ambassador Samantha Power, Sarah Burton, Laverne Cox, Mindy Kaling and Robin Roberts were honored, and Lupita Nyongo teared up while accepting her award from Monsoon Wedding director Mira Nair.
Amy Schumer hailed Joan Rivers, I am so grateful for everything she did and how she refused to shut up, and to honor her, I plan on never shutting up, too.
Later, guests Jodie Foster, Arianna Huffington, and Katie Couric and hubby John Molner headed to Harlow to celebrate with Glamour editor Cindi Leive.
Guests downing beet salad and chicken included Bruce Willis and wife Emma Heming.
Chelsea, in a sleeveless black dress and metallic pumps, quipped it was her first night out since giving birth to baby Charlotte: I had started to wonder if Id ever wear a nice dress or high-heeled shoes again. Or have adult conversations!
