The potential Bush-Trump ticket was first revealed in a new biography by historian Jon Meacham, who writes in "Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush" that the 41st president considered the idea "strange and unbelievable."

LMAO!!

They would’ve had to staple Trump’s lips together in the runup to Desert Storm.. his mouth would’ve blown the whole operation up in the planning stages.

Trump when on CNN's State of the Union and NBC's Meet the Press to talk this (and himself) up.

Trump's quotes from those appearances are at the source.

You are just on the war path against Trump.

Good grief all you do is throw mud at Trump all day long.

I guess, like Glen Beck, Karl Rove and the rest of the Establishment, you will be voting for Hillary when Trump gets the nomination.

My latest threads ^ which, if you’ll look, are not all Trump related.

But Trump is in the news, like he wants to be, so what’s the problem?

The Iowa caucus is fast approaching so Trump, his antics and his politics is Page One.

Speaking of Karl Rove....

FR THREAD:

Trump gave to Rove's Crossroads 50K, to Boehner's PAC 100K and to McConnell's PAC 50K [plus another 10K in Oct 2014]
