Since he first hit the trail for his presidential campaign-in-waiting, Jeb Bush has repeated this line at event after event: “There are a whole lot of conservatives, they just don’t know it yet.”

On Thursday, the former Florida governor hinted at how he might reach those conservatives. At two separate events in Michigan, Mr. Bush urged Republicans to deviate from the traditional events (perhaps like the Lincoln Day Dinner he was speaking at on Friday night), and try something new.

At the event Thursday at Eagle Eye Golf Club, he pledged to “campaign in places where Republicans haven’t been seen in a while; going to college campuses, into the barrios across this country, going to talk to African-Americans in churches to talk about school choice.”

“We need to go to the places where the voters are,” he said.

“There are a whole lot of conservatives, they just don’t know it yet.”

Typical arrogant, elitist Jeb. Is that really the best way to announce you're going to talk to Hispanics or blacks and turn them into conservatives? "They just don't know", but Jeb is going to enlighten them.

Jeb is by far the most irritating and off-putting of the Bushes.

Let Jeb run as a non-Republican then. Find another party to be the nominee of.

“Do some whites hate themselves so much that they want to see the white race destroyed and their own offspring brought down?”

It’s guilt.
