House Speaker John Boehner signaled support for former Florida Governor Jeb Bush to run for president during a press conference on Monday.
“Jeb Bush is my friend,” Boehner said. "I think he’d make a great president. And I’ve been nudging him for some time.”
Boehner made his remarks during a Q&A session with Texas Tribune at the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce. Boehner also asserted that a majority of Republicans were interested in immigration reform, even though some were blocking the issue.
“There are some members of my party that just do not want to deal with this,” Boehner said. “It’s no secret. But I do believe the vast majority of members of our party do want to deal with this.”

Hello President Hillary. Is Jeb really the best the republicans can do??? Come on!
In a sane world that would be enough to doom a campaign
That endorsement is good enough for me. I would never vote for him.
He’s a pathetic idiot.
Sigh. Jeb Bush would be an okay president, probably, since he was a good and competent governor of Florida. But he is like his brother and his father: weak and too gentlemanly. He certainly couldn’t do what is going to be needed after these 8 years of a Muslim Marxist gay lunatic.
Boehner is probably okay on a lot of levels, too, but he’s simply weak and too gentlemanly. I don’t know why; there’s not been a single gentleman in the Dem party since the death of Daniel Patrick Moynihan, but the GOP keeps marching off bravely and foolishly into the jaws of this wildly unethical multi-national conspiracy that is the Democratic Party.
Jeepus! Make these people go away!
Where’s the projectile vomit alert?
If the GOP-e is seriously pushing Jeb Bush for 2016, there can no longer be any reasonable doubt that they’re actively campaigning for the Democrats.
citizens of Ohio, please send Boehner packing.
Hey it’s a lesser evil. We must WIN!. Dems are worse!
Now we can either just go with the above, sit down and shut up because your candidate has been announced. Or not. If most of us plan on caving in anyway, can we just save ourselves another Romney fiasco, and admit it up front this time?
Dang!!
You got all three instantly!!
FK U Bonehead, I do not want you nor any of your friends for Prez, and I vote and so do my family and friends. A GOPe is not in the picture.
Why don’t you and your friend Jeb Bush take a long walk off a short pier.
All the careerist Democan and Republicrat pols stick together to support the status quo, and to h*ll with the will of the electorate.
...and the fox told me that the coyote would be a great guard for the hen house...
Boehner doesn’t know what it takes to make a great president. Neither does anybody in the Bush family.
