Jeb Bush Friends Say Whether He’ll Run For President Depends On His Wife, Columba
*Who said Latinas don’t influence GOP presidential politics? Apparently there’s at least one Latina who does. VL
Several years ago, Columba Bush was at a Republican women’s gathering in Jacksonville, Florida, looking like she wanted to bolt for the exit.
Tom Slade Jr. – former chairman of the Florida GOP and a friend of Columba and her famous husband, former governor Jeb Bush – recalled how she seemed utterly ill at ease.
Her dislike of being in the spotlight, and at events where people go to see who’s there and to be seen, is well-known among those who know the Bush couple.
She has endured it, Slade told the Washington Post, because the high-profile world of politics is one her husband revels in, like a fish in water.
He recalled her saying “Jebby really does love politics, so I can’t stand in his way.”
But whether that also goes for being on-board with her husband running for president in 2016 is, for the moment, anyone’s guess.
