Jeb Bush’s Sense and Sensibility
Time ^ | February 26,2015 | Joe Klein

Posted on 02/26/2015 11:24:19 AM PST by C19fan

The candidate’s grown-up tone is a breath of fresh air amid so many strident conservative voices

Promoted Obamacare: See this incredibly detailed map of where Americans… iSideWith Sponsored Links by In a week during which Rudolph Giuliani went crusader-ballistic questioning President Obama’s patriotism–indeed, questioning his upbringing–Jeb Bush gave a speech about foreign affairs, the third serious policy speech he’s given this winter. Giuliani got all the headlines, of course. That’s how you do it now: say something heinous and the world will beat a path to your door. And Bush’s speech wasn’t exactly a barn burner. His delivery was rushed and unconvincing, though he was more at ease during the question period. He was criticized for a lack of specificity. But Bush offered something far more important than specificity. He offered a sense of his political style and temperament, which in itself presents a grownup and civil alternative to the Giuliani-style pestilence that has plagued the Republic for the past 25 years.

Article needs a barf alert. He can't get past Terri Schiavo. If he can't or won't save one woman, how's he gonna' save the world?

Besides that he's not as good at the "aw shucks" routine as GWB is.

TIME stumping for Bush — what a surprise. They want their centrist RINO. No different that Obama on education and open-borders/amnesty EXCEPT he would probably do it through Congress. (unless we get more American patriots in Congress who honor the Constitution and the law in general).

No more RINOs, no more thugs, no more Communists, no more AMERICA-HATERS, no more outright, in-your-face criminals.

He is the candidate of the intelligentsia - they know he will lose to Clinton and that if he manages to win (because she has to appear in public, speak and cannot hide her advancing age), he will not govern materially differently from Hillary. Mr. Klein, look at his standing in the polls of actual Republican voters - it is dismal, many of us will not vote for Jeb Bush, period.

Not this time, A-holes.

...Giuliani-style pestilence...

Apparently, mental-style illness is pervasive at Time.

Bush is a Globalist.

The fact that the RNC collaborators are for him should make you run the other way by default.

He will turn on the conservatives and kiss up to the DNC.

No more Bush’s please!

But I suspect the Republican primary voters will rally to a third Bush. They don’t know any better.

When they nominate Jeb Bush as the third Democrat in an R jersey in a row, there will be those here attempting to berate and castigate conservatives to vote for him.

You CINOs know who you are.

It did not work in the last 2 elections, it will not work thistime.

Jeb Bush will make McCain and Romney look like winners.

The Joe Klein blessing SHOULD be all any voter with half a brain needs to know about Lil' Jebbie.

MEMO TO JEB BUSH:  Instead of getting that degree in Latin American affairs, you might have been wise to get a degree in AMERICAN HISTORY!  Since you're obviously so fond of Latin America, perhaps there's an elective office waiting for you somewhere in Latin America? Oh wait, THEY have very rigid CITIZENSHIP and RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS down there.

In fact, your wife's home country (that'd be MEXICO) has a heavily defended FENCE across its SOUTHERN BORDER!

never mind

And I suggest that you other alleged Republicans read the thoughts of several of the Founding Fathers before the next election.

Once again, he is described as being a grown up voice amongst Conservatives.

Yes..., because he sounds like a watered down Democrat.

This IS NO CONSERVATIVE!

Damn it. When will the Republicans purchase a clue?
