President Obama says he “loves” the Bush family personally and that former Florida governor and possible 2016 presidential candidate Jeb Bush has “every right” to run in 2016.

This shitty slap fight is hilarious. And this tweet is the best.
Senator Rand Paul ✔ @SenRandPaulFollowSenator @marcorubio is acting like an isolationist who wants to retreat to our borders and perhaps build a moat. I reject this isolationism.

In 2016, clear choice, or clear trauma?
One outcome of and proof for ideological polarization is the way it has made stalwarts appear like centrists. In what world is Hillary Clinton — feminist heroine, author of Hillarycare, sworn enemy of the vast right-wing conspiracy — not progressive enough?

Mittens only won his party's nomination once. If he is now 'considering' another run, it basically means he's hoping that a ton of party bigwigs and moneybags will beg him to run again and they'll all but promise him the nomination if he runs. Won't happen.

“He has been reluctant to speak too openly on the campaign trail about his faith out of a concern that people would believe his motivation for running was based on an attempt to convert others to his faith,” said Tagg Romney, the eldest of Mitt and Ann’s five adult sons.
No, I don't think that's what was rubbing people the wrong way at all.

Evangelicals weren't concerned about Mitt Romney showing up on their doorstep with a necktie and short-sleeve shirt. They opposed Romney because they believe LDS is a weird non-canon aberration of Christianity.

In the end, much of the GOP base went with him instead of Obama not because they thought Obama would try to turn the United States into Black America, but because he was black.
