Is Jeb Bush too reasonable for Republicans?

For a Republican who once called himself a "head-banging conservative," Jeb Bush has said some surprisingly nice things about President Obama lately..

He endorsed Obama's proposed trade deal with Asia. He praised Obama's tough policies on terrorism, including the National Security Agency's collection of bulk data. He called on balky Republicans in Congress to confirm Obama's new attorney general, Loretta Lynch. He even applauded Obama for tightening sanctions on Iran, although he also criticized the president for making concessions in nuclear negotiations.

"I'm not a big Obama fan, but when he does something right, we need to give him credit," he told an audience in Denver....

No he is too RINO for Republicans.

Sounds like Jeb has been studying the slick methodry of John McCain.

[ealgeone]

Not if he wants PR as the 51st state. You hand the dims two more senate seats and a few HOR seats.

Is he thinking at all??

[arthurus]

I would hesitate to use TP that is already full of crap.

[arthurus]

The pillspury doughboy.

[2ndDivisionVet]

You make it sound like he’s a Republican.

I love it when Dems announce "Hey Republicans, here's your candidate for (choose the election year) that we found for you. That's alright...you don't have to thank us."

McManus is just another lib scribbler without a clue.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Jethro is a Democrat.

It is not a matter of Jeb Bush being too “reasonable” for the Republicans, it is that he would be too much of a gentleman to carry the fight TO Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless. Jeb just does not want to be seen as “being mean to the girl”.

Sorry, Jeb. You just cannot be kind and understanding to pit vipers. (Rattlesnakes, to those of you from Rio Linda, as Rush would say.)

Is Jeb Bush too reasonable for Republicans?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: HELL NO!!

[Lurkinanloomin]

Obviously not, he wants to hand the Democrats 30 million illegal alien votes at the same time 30 million Americans leave the GOP out of disgust at his nomination.

[Pox]

To clarify my response:

No to Jeb Bush! Republicans neither need nor desire Jeb Bush!

Period!

[dalereed]

Try unreasonable.

[aquila48]

Yes - you dimwits can have him.

[glennaro]

The Times and the other formerly great media needs Jeb Bush or Chris Christie or ... well, there are a host of others ... to win the GOP nomination so that the Democrat Socialist Party might have a chance to win in the 2016 elections.

We're going to see as much support from the Leftist media for the RINO/GOPE candidates up through the primaries as for the Democrat Socialist candidates because the Left knows Republicans cannot win if they alienate the conservative base.

‘Is $18 Trillion a reasonable debt level to Demorats?’
Try that headline, moron.

[Sivad]

Hey Mr. McManus, got a question for you. Would you vote
for Jeb over the eventual Democrat candidate no matter
who she may be? Huh?......Thought so.

Here is another question, Doyle: Can you provide a list
of “reasonable” Democrats? Me neither.

[Darren McCarty]

No, he is not reasonable. No more Bushes or Clintons. No more big spending or big government ‘conservativism’.

[kik5150]

The L.A. Times is still printed in English?

[dfwgator]

Read my lips, no more Bushes.
