Thumb wrestle for it?
And now, in accordance to wealthy Republican custom, they
shall duel:
Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney did not reach an agreement during a Salt Lake City lunch meeting on Thursday on how to reconcile their competing plans to run for the White House next year, advisers to both men indicated after the talk.
That is a conundrum. How would they decide?
"Well my pa ran for president, so I think I'm qualified."
"Well my pa was president, so I'm more qualified."
"I worked on Wall Street and have many wealthy Wall Street supporters."
"Ditto."
"Your brother wrecked the economy."
"You're still known for crapping on half the U.S. population as moochers."
"Now, now, I stand by that one." "So shut up about my brother, you know NOTHING ABOUT WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH."
Meh, I'm probably overthinking this. It was probably a very boring meeting, in the manner that all meetings between two wealthy people who want to systemically destroy the other's hopes and dreams are usually very boring. But is there a more stilted, dismissing way I could say that?
Former Gov. Mike Leavitt of Utah, a close friend of Mr. Romney’s, said he felt “very confident it was a gentlemanly conversation.”
Oh yeah, that's the stuff. 2016, here we come.
