Mitt Romney Doesn’t Think Much of Jeb Bush

Mark Halperin says Mitt Romney has held “a jaundiced view” of Jeb Bush “dating all the way back to his handling of the Terri Schiavo case, and has come to see Bush as a non-entity in the 2016 nomination contest. Romney is said to see Bush as a small-time businessman whose financial transactions would nonetheless be fodder for the Democrats and as terminally weighed down with voters across the board based on his family name. Romney also doesn’t think much of Bush’s political skills (a view mocked by Bush’s camp, who say Romney is nowhere near Bush’s league as a campaigner). Romney also considers Bush the national Republican figure who was the least helpful to him during his last run for the White House, a position that has darkened Ann Romney’s view of Bush as well.”

Noticed yesterday the Willard and his Stepford spouse but their Elevator House by the Sea up for sale. There is more behind the scenes going down. Possible Law Suites coming down the road? Noticed his brother Scott and other Clan members are about to be hit in Federal Court over some Money dealings. There is a story yet to be told and it has nothing to do with the Bush evil empire.
