Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown told the Herald he is exploring a possible 2016 presidential bid today as he hit a well-worn stomping ground for Oval Office hopefuls – the Iowa State Fair. “I want to get an indication of whether there’s even an interest, in Massachusetts and throughout the country, if there’s room for a bi-partisan problem solver,” said Brown, who has been meeting with top republicans nationally and last week hosted a Fenway event for Republican National Committee members. Brown indicated he isn't close to deciding whether he will run. “It’s 2013 I think it’s premature, but I am curious. There’s a lot of good name recognition in the Dakotas and here – that’s pretty good.” Brown rose to national prominence after his surprise win in the 2010 special election for the U.S. Senate over Attorney general Martha Coakley. He lost the seat to U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2012, but he has recently kept the door open to many races including the 2014 Bay State gubernatorial and a U.S. Senate bid in New Hampshire
Exactly right. Welcome, Scott Brown! Michael Bloomberg should run too.
Yep, the reach across the isle, bend over and grab your ankles type of problem solver.
We should start some phony rino draft sites....lol!!
if there’s room for a bi-partisan problem solverLord knows we don't have enough of them in the GOP...< /sarcasm >
Another Democrat contender?
1) WE are the problem. A Jeb Bush can be elected if he only dumps us.This leads to Bush-Brown, Bush-Huntsman, Christie-Bush, Bush-Christie tickets (etc).
2) WE are the solution. Sarah or Ted Cruz can win, if only we bury the RINOs.
Actually, with a country that's 40% conservative, 30% communist, and 30% reach-aroundacross, the obvious answer is not 1 or 2, but BOTH.
The communists belong to Hillary! The reach-aroundacross caucus is going for Jeb, or Christie, or both.
The way it works, 40% beats two 30s. 40% cannot win a two-way race.
I certainly voted for him when he ran against the odious Coakley but I find him to be mind numbingly dull. If he couldn’t beat the even more boring faux indian what makes him think he would do well nationally.
I agree with you on this.
I could actually support Brown, with Sarah Palin.
I could support Brown, with Ted Cruz.
I could support Sarah Palin likewise, with Ted Cruz.
Brown is not the optimal candidate in my opinion, but I would like to see him get into the mix for 2016.
Not just a RINO. A RINO that lost his first reelection race.
Re: Brown is not the optimal candidate in my opinion
Not optimal?
Is this another way of saying CRAP?
I dunno.
I haven’t kept up with Brown. I did not follow his path when he was in his spot, and I might be completely wrong about him.
I just have a positive opinion of him.
That’s all. I could find myself (completely) wrong about him, just saying I find myself in agreement with him, to a degree.
He’s a good sort of candidate, I guess that is what I like about him.
My tendency is to approve of him.
Maybe that is a wrong-headed idea, and maybe I just don’t follow that state’s politics that closely.
(which I do not)
Just saying I like him. That is all.
Don’t bother, loser.
No thanks, Mr. Brown. We didn’t want the original Romney so why does he think we’d want a pale imitation of him?
RINO Brown, your only value was to show a Republican candidate could take “Kennedy’s Seat” away from the official Democratic candidate.
You no longer serve any purpose and Conservatives do not like nor respect you. Please leave.
You like Brown because you LOVE ROMNEY, with
his RomneyCARE, and gay marriage imposition
and their coming agenda.
You mean Candice later said Dan Quayle was correct?
4 years in the Senate and he couldn’t even hold onto the seat.
Yeah, that’s a real winner. [/s]
They could call is the "Brown / Kreme" ticket.
Actually I am strongly against Romney.
In the last election, I wanted Sarah Palin.
At the last minute she bowed out, and I supported Mitt Romney. Yes, I did because I thought he was the strongest remaining candidate.
I was never enthused about him (part of his problem was nobody was enthused about him). Since then however I have turned against Romney for his cave-ins to homosexuals and his support for the gay takeover of the Boy Scouts.
I am now a 100% opponent of Mitt Romney.
I do not know what Scott Brown’s support or lack thereof, is for Mitt or anyone else.
Just that at the moment, I am more positive toward Scott Brown than I am negative.
That is all.
I support Palin 100%.
