Jeb ‘Eveready’ with code name

The most energized Jeb Bush has been for the entirety of the still-amazingly young 2016 election cycle came when he finally landed a good counterpunch against Donald Trump. During CNN's 14-hour-long debate/telethon Wednesday night, each of the 11 top candidates was asked what he or she would like to be called by the Secret Service if elected president. (President Obama's code name is "Renegade," for example.) Bush seemed to be ready for the question. "Eveready," he offered -- and then turned to his right. "It's very high-energy, Donald." The crowd loved it, and Trump -- who has repeatedly criticized Bush for being "low-energy" -- offered his hand for a low-five, which Bush eagerly accepted/Washington Post. More here.

Question: If you ran for president, what would you select as a code name?
