George P. Bush, son of former Florida governor and much-speculated 2016 presidential contender Jeb Bush, raised eyebrows on Sunday when he said it was “more than likely” that his dad would run for president.
His dad, however, doesn’t sound too happy about it.
“He’s got an opinion. He didn’t talk to me,” Jeb said in a Wednesday interview with MSNBC.
“When you have kids you’ll probably have the same frustration,” he continued. “You love them to death and they have their own opinions — but I’ll make up my mind just as I’ve said at the end of the year.”
“Same as I’ve always said,” Jeb concluded. “There’s nothing new here.”
The New York Times also reported Sunday that George P., George W., and George H.W. were supportive of and pushing for a Jeb 2016 candidacy.
“If it were up to his father, he would be a candidate,” Jim McGrath, a spokesman for George H.W., told the Times.
Reading between the lines…He was high or coming down from one of his out of control rages.
who cares what the kid says… he’s got his own grooming to focus on. dad is just playing coy; he’ll run as he sits back and watches while the rest of the gop offerings flame out. and then, banking on the name recognition and less extreme tendencies, will come riding to rescue…
I don’t even remember any episode of The Twilight Zone being as terrifying and mind-boggling as the prospect of electing another member of the Bush family to the presidency.
Got that right, Jebbie.
What they want us to say is: What a crude psychological ploy, eh?
