For the record: \u00a0If he runs, I\u2019m in.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Is he as conservative as I am? \u00a0Probably not.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
But he\u2019s conservative. \u00a0And he was right. \u00a0On a host of issues. \u00a0He should have won in 2012; the United States and the world would be better off if he had.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019s honest, extremely bright, breathtakingly competent \u2014 I heard an impressive personal illustration of that\u00a0just the other day from someone who\u2019s known him since missionary days \u2014 with strong executive experience and the proven ability to work across political divides and to get things done.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sorry, but Ted Cruz and Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee simply cannot win. \u00a0And Chris Christie shouldn\u2019t <\/em>win. \u00a0<\/em>Moreover, nobody else in the Republican field but Jeb Bush has the stature<\/em> to take the presidency.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
I want a president.<\/p>\n
