Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican nominee for president, will meet face to face privately in Utah Thursday.
The meeting, which was first reported by The New York Times late Wednesday, had been scheduled for months. It was proposed by Bush and had originally been meant for Bush to “show respect” for Romney, according to the Times.
More recently both Bush and Romney have taken steps signaling plans for running for president in 2016. The meeting was planned before Romney told a group of donors he was considering running for president a third time.
Both former governors are aligned with the establishment wing of the Republican party and so would be competing for the same space if they both decided to run for president.
“This meeting has been on the books for a while,” Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell confirmed to TPM of the Thursday meeting. “Governor Bush is looking forward to catching up with Governor Romney.”
so the heir apparent to the republican party is meeting with the last loser they put up for office.
ho hum,
will we have a repeat of 2012 with Romney never EVER producing his 2009 and prior tax returns (and there by showing the world what a tax cheat he really was/is).
Or will the republican’s try to foist upon this nation the Bush dynasty?
Is a secret exchange of underwear in the offing??
“Yeah, ‘Bush/Romney 2016’. Kinda has a nice ring to it.”
“You know what’s even better? ‘Romney/Bush 2016’.”
“No, no, it’s in alphabetic order. ‘B’ comes before ‘R’.”
“Yeah, but I coulda beat that sonofabitch if that prick didn’t record that video.”
“Well you didn’t. Besides, I’m from the Bush dynasty, and we won three times.”
“No, you won once and stole two.”
“Don’t you ever say that in public, you jackass! How do you know someone isn’t recording us now?”
“Besides, me and Bibi are tight!”
“Not as tight as my daddy and the House of Saud!”
“Yeah, but the Saudis did 9/11…”
“Your point is…???”
“OK, OK. ‘Bush/Romney’ it is.”
