Desperation, fear and loathing stalk Republican land.
I can see the campaign slogan right now:
Bush for President: Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad.
Slow news day.
Jeb would be interesting. Very, very smart man. But I understand his wife doesn’t want to be First Lady. Also, I’m not sure he wants to put daughter Nicole through the media wringer.
Also, if there is a brokered GOP convention, I anticipate serious violence within the convention hall. Not joking.
@Gold Star for Robot Boy: I expect a lot of people to bring umbrellas. Deflecting thrown food, cellphones, etc.
