In reply to the discussion: Jeb Bush: I'd Consider Vice Presidency [View all]sofa king
(10,857 posts)60. A clever move.
I'm going to go by the time-honored Bush rule of "never tell the truth," and guess that what Jeb is really up to is this.
Publicly, he displays interest in being VP.
Privately, he tells the Romney people to fuck off and he will never take the job.
Bush generates public interest in himself and a non-useful uptick in interest for Romney, to be followed by a post-convention downturn of disappointment.
Then Romney picks someone else, gets his ass whipped, and every knuckledragger in the country spews, "he wood of one if heda pickled Jbeb," all over the Internet for four years.
And Satan, laughing, spreads his wings.

The far right would love it. This would put Romney over the top, and the rest of us.......

So would I, Jeb. And I've got as much chance as you do of actually being the vice president in 2013.
