Jeb Bush: ‘I’m a joyful tortoise’ in long, acrimonious race
Miami Herald ^ | 7/27/15 | Adam C Smith

Repeat after Jeb Bush: He is not angry. Not even a tiny bit.

Florida’s Republican former governor is happy — joyful even. And campaigning throughout Orlando Monday the merriest of presidential candidates reminded supporters over and over again that he is nothing like some of his churlish counterparts in the GOP primary.

“Here’s the deal: I don’t have anger in my heart,” he told about 200 people at a community center in Maitland Monday evening. “We shouldn’t be scolding people. We shouldn’t be saying outrageous things that turns people off to the conservative message.”

“I’m not a grievance candidate,” he told more than 150 fans in Longwood, warning that the race was sure to be a long one and poll numbers would rise and fall. “I’m the tortoise in the race — but I’m a joyful tortoise.”

You're a candidate who would create justifiable grievances if elected, from a family that has already created many deliberate situations that created justifiable grievances for American citizens.

We don't need any more Bushes in the White House.

I don’t have anger in my heart,” Bush said, “We shouldn’t be scolding people. I brought a party favor bags for everyone."

He gets a cookie.
