McCain: Jeb Bush 'Smartest Guy I Know on Education'

In a recent interview with the Tampa Bay Times at the U.S. Capitol, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said that potential 2016 presidential candidate Jeb. Bush (R) is “the smartest guy I know on education.”

McCain reportedly told the Times that he spoke with the former Florida governor a couple weeks ago about education policy.

Despite labeling Jeb Bush the most astute person he knows when it comes to education, McCain deflected when asked if Bush’s support for the Common Core could be an issue.

“What he did for education in Florida … that’s a clear record of success,” he stated.

The Times asked, “Is he a viable candidate for president, there’s a lot of question about the fact that…?”

Completing the question himself, McCain said, “That his name is Bush?” Then he added, “Somebody else’s name is Clinton.”

McCain “We have nothing to fear from an Obama presidency.”
For comparison.

The Vichy republicans are attempting to sew up the 2016 candidate as a RINO before the 2014 elections. trying to control the debate and frame things to their advantage.

Common Core is STUPID. Federal Governmental education is unconstitutional and STUPID. "No child Left Behind" is STUPID socialism. The only SMART education policy is nuke the Dept of Education and send education back to the states and local communities.

On a state level, the only smart education policy is to nuke the teacher's unions and their power over parental and local control over the education of their children.

I picture him having vicious hissing fits like Smeagol. The sheer malice would be daunting.

Which one, John McCain or Jeb Bush?

Actually, as things go, Jeb was a pretty decent governor for the State of Florida, but he was - uninvolved - when it came to actually making a free and decent challenge on the woes and limitations imposed by excessive government involvement.

John McCain, on the other hand, has done both his nation and his party a great disservice by not standing for principle when it mattered during his tenure of the Senate.

McCain is well past the time of decent retirement.
