Chris Cillizza, Editor of the Washington Post‘s “The Fix” argued that Jeb Bush is thinking about running for president because “he could help bring the Republican Party where it needs to go” on issues like immigration, but is wary about running because “he hates campaigning” on Monday’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” on MSNBC.
“He [Jeb] would like to be president of the United States, Andrea, I think he thinks he’s up to the job and I think he thinks he could help bring the Republican Party where it needs to go, which is not where it is today on things like immigration reform, for example” Cillizza stated.
He added that Bush is also unsure about running because “at the same time, he hates campaigning. And, he didn’t like campaigning in the early 2000s, the things he didn’t like about it have only gotten bigger. More attention, more cameras in your face, more tweeting, more focus on what he would describe as the small things that don’t matter.”
