Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush may be laying the groundwork for a 2016 presidential run as he met this week with a top evangelical leader who could help him win votes from the religious right, according to reports.

Bush, a Roman Catholic, sat down with Russell Moore, head of the Southern Baptist Convention's policy branch known as the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, at his Miami office on Friday, CNN reported.

The Washington Post reported last month that the two were planning on meeting.

"We'll talk about the concerns of evangelicals," Moore told The Post at the time. "He is a good man, and I am not surprised there is a lot of conversation about him."

1. Well at least they are both fairly pro-immigrant.

That's the only positive thing I can think to say about either of them.

2. You're much too kind.
