Dana Perino: I Think Someone Might Run Third Party, But I'm "Holding My Cards" For Now
She says this on a podcast with Fox colleague Chris Stirewalt.
Dana: Do you think any of them run as a third party?
Stirewalt: No, Paul has been a loyal foot soldier for Mitch McConnell, he ain't gonna do that. And Ted Cruz ain't gonna do that. Could Trump still -- he's not gonna get --
Dana: I don't think it would be Trump.
Stirewalt: Who would it be?
Dana: I'm gonna hold my cards.
She advertised this on The Five and gave a big Chessire Cat grin like she's not speculating, like she knows something.
So: Who? Well, first of all, Perino is obviously very tapped into the Bush camp. And Bush would have the money (presumably) to mount a third party campaign.
Given that this comes down to money, it could be she's talking about Romney, though the initial question about any of them (that is, the candidates) running third party suggests she doesn't mean Romney.
Maybe she was just being misleading there.
Could she mean Bush? Could she possibly mean that Bush is considering a third party run?
Open thread. I know, terrible week of blogging. But seriously last night went really late.
