Feb 2016

When he was asked if he was going to run for president, he would consistently and adamantly insist that he had no desire to run. (Texas primarily run by legislature, so being Governor was like a part-time job.) Then...wham bam...one day he announces he's running. There is an evil machine in the republican party that wants a candidate they can manipulate. Now they are pushing for Jeb when it's very clear, he does not want the job .

The evil machine lead by Cheney.
