TODAY ON CAMPAIGN PRO - "How Matt Bevin learned to love Mitch McConnell," by POLITICO's Manu Raju and Kyle Cheney:

CASHING IN - "On talk circuit, George Bush makes millions but few waves," by POLITICO's Michael Kruse: "Toward the end of his presidency, George W. Bush told Robert Draper, reporting for a book called Dead Certain, that he intended after vacating the Oval Office to 'replenish the ol' coffers.' He said he could make 'ridiculous' money on the lecture circuit. 'I don't know what my dad gets, but it's more than 50, 75' thousand dollars a speech, he said. 'Clinton's making a lot of money,' he added. As critics over the years have chided Bill Clinton and also his wife for the industriousness with which they have pursued opportunities to get paid a lot of money in this manner, Bush, too, has been
 doing exactly what he said he would be doing. Since 2009, POLITICO has found, Bush has given at least 200 paid speeches and probably many more, typically pocketing $100,000 to $175,000 per appearance. The part-time work, which rarely requires more than an hour on stage, has earned him tens of millions of dollars."

SUNDAY TALKERS - "Walker jabs at Bush, calls for a 'fresh' GOP face," by POLITICO's Jonathan Topaz: "Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is jabbing again at Jeb Bush, arguing the Republican Party needs a 'fresh face' to draw a significant contrast with likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. 'I hope Republicans, I hope independents and even some discerning Democrats will see that we're striking a stark contrast with Hillary Clinton,' the governor said in an interview aired Sunday on ABC's 'This Week.' 'You know, we're a new fresh face taking on someone from the past.'"

2016 SPEED READ - IOWA'S BIG WEEKEND - "The man to beat in Iowa: Scott Walker," by POLITICO's Alex Isenstadt in Boone, Iowa: "In a fluid race where there's no consensus frontrunner and even the eventual size of the presidential field is up in the air, there's one thing that most Republicans can agree on: In Iowa at least, Scott Walker is the man to beat. If there were any remaining doubts, they were erased Saturday at the 'Roast and Ride,' a motorcycle-and-barbecue themed cattle call hosted by the state's freshman senator, Republican Joni Ernst. At an event that drew seven of the party's presidential hopefuls, it was the Wisconsin governor who ended up playing the starring role. With his
 Iowa roots, plainspoken style, and familiarity as the governor of the next state over, Walker is generating grassroots buzz, lofty expectations and a lead in the polls that has Iowa power-brokers and political operatives pointing to him as the early favorite in the first-in-the-nation caucuses next February."

TOP FIVE MOMENTS - "Iowa's 'Roast and Ride': 5 takeaways," by POLITICO's Katie Glueck in Boone, Iowa: "The Iowa caucuses are a long eight months away, but a gaggle of presidential hopefuls descended on a field here Saturday anyway, eager to work the crowd, hone their organizing skills and build out their volunteer lists. For the candidates who made it to Sen. Joni Ernst's first annual 'Roast and Ride' event - Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, former Hewlett-Packard head Carly Fiorina, neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. ... this was Scott Walker's ... there's room for Rubio in
 Iowa ... Rick Perry's still got it ... Carly Fiorina continues to gain traction ... Noted in Iowa - who wasn't there."

- Meanwhile, Sen. Ted Cruz was in North Carolina to talk about abolishing the Internal Revenue Service and repealing Obamacare at the state party's convention, the Raleigh News and Observer reported.

JEB'S EUROPEAN OUTING - "Another Bush heads to Europe," POLITICO's by Eli Stokols: "Jeb Bush is heading to Europe, trailed by ghosts. One is his brother, George W., arguably the most unpopular U.S. president in Europe since the end of World War II. The others are Chris Christie, Ben Carson, and other GOP rivals who, following in the stumbling footsteps of Mitt Romney, appeared to flunk their foreign-policy tests with early gaffes. For Jeb, who hopes to portray himself as the most substantive and qualified of the potential Republican nominees, the trip is a chance to showcase his gravitas - and amplify his critique of the Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton foreign policy. That a two-term governor
 who's taken 89 trips to 22 countries on six continents since leaving office in 2007 is spending his last week before announcing his presidential bid traveling in Europe shows just how much the current primary debate is focused on foreign policy."

- "Clinton aims to cash in with women donors," by POLITICO's Anna Palmer and Tarini Parti: "Hillary Clinton chose to downplay her gender in her 2008 presidential bid, instead waiting until her concession speech to address the glass ceiling she sought to break. But this time, the Clinton campaign is not only embracing the historic nature of her candidacy, it's attempting to cash in on the prospect of the first female president by creating and harnessing a network of women donors and supporters. The campaign itself has a women's coalition outreach director, and plans for a donor program that strategically targets women to write big checks. Then there are the unofficial fundraisers to be held
 by supporters in their homes or through more organized, independent networks of former female Clinton aides and supporters - all designed to target women who haven't previously given or raised much for political campaigns. Those targets include younger women - around 35 or 40 years old - and minorities."
