There is even a photo of Bush at the start of the article.
The editorial in the WP has a go at a few of the candidates before rounding on Ziotrump and supporting Bush:
Most dispiriting, though also not unfamiliar, is the effort to win votes by demonizing foreigners and immigrants, Mr. Trump’s specialty. His popularity, which we doubt will endure, has been built on demeaning rivals and exploiting voter fears.
Fortunately — to swing back around to some good news — not everyone in the Republican field is quailing. When Mr. Trump rebuked Jeb Bush last week for speaking at a campaign event in Spanish, Mr. Bush admirably explained why the rebuke was off base.
“This is a diverse country,” the former Florida governor told ABC News. “We should celebrate that diversity and embrace a set of shared values. Mr. Trump doesn’t believe in those shared values. He wants to tear us down. He doesn’t believe in tolerance. He doesn’t believe in the things that have created the greatness of this country.”
And Mr. Bush made a prediction, which, despite the peculiarities of the season so far, we are happy to second: “Donald Trump is trying to insult his way to the presidency. It’s not gonna work. People want an uplifting, hopeful message.”
There’s still plenty of time.

It was Jeb Bush who, as Governor of Florida, swung The Sunshine State behind his bro' W, which is what gave W the Presidency.
The rest is warmongering history...
