"Our party must be big-hearted and creative and opportunistic," the ex-White House hopeful, who was President-elect Trump's greatest rival for much of the GOP primary, wrote in a Friday op-ed for the Wall Street Journal.
Bush declined to support Trump in the general election, often criticizing his lack of policy knowledge and foreign policy plans, though he now admits the incoming Republican president "successfully tapped into the anger and deep distrust that voters feel toward Washington" to deliver himself a "hard-fought victory."

You just can’t make this s*** up!
oh man. Who woke up Jeb?
Jeb saying there is no excuse for failure is really funny.
Please clap.
Did he urge the GOP to restore its brand before or after he urged his supporters to clap their hands for him? LOL.
How about an anti-Bush brand?
Did he find his turtle yet?
The elite want us to do what to ourselves under Bush???
LOL. You beat me to it by less than 30 seconds.
Jeb, you want to know why the GOP “Brand” is so messed up? Ask your Father and Brother.
Please, please, please, no more Bushes ever again.
Yeb!, you are irrelevant.
Shut up.
Unless you want to use your Spanish skills to tell illegal aliens to leave now before we have to deport them and they are barred from legal entry for 10 years.
“There’s no excuse for failure”.
Jeb, don’t be so hard on yourself. Now STFU.
Nothing like a guy who spent $50 million per delegate in the primaries adivising the guy who won the whole package.
Says he of the famous “Please Clap” moment.
Pathetic. Get some Viagra, Jeb, and try to stand tall.
Who did you vote for Jeb?
