Jeb Bush implored his Republican presidential rivals Monday to reject the "crazy message of hate" that he sees at play in the campaign and cast himself as a "committed conservative," but not an "angry" one, in remarks rooted in Donald Trump's inflammatory rhetoric and the backlash that followed.
As conservatives, he said in a speech to pastors, "if we act with our heart, people will rise." Afterward, Bush gave his call for political civility a harder edge in a raucous rally where he urged other GOP contenders to quit scolding each other.
"We have to campaign with joy in our hearts - not anger," Bush said. "We shouldn't say outrageous things that turn people off to the conservative message. Our message is the one of hope and opportunity for everyone."
"We must reject this crazy message of hate."
Trump wasn't mentioned in his remarks but it was a conspicuous dressing down of the billionaire who roiled the race with his comments about Mexico and Mexican immigrants, setting off a round of name-calling between Trump and some others in the field. Bush, as he often does in campaign speeches, switched to Spanish at both events though the crowd at his rally was mostly English-speaking.

I think we have had enough of this Bush compassionate BS.
The GOP elites have no leg to stand on after leading us to ruin by presenting two losers with a good “tone” in the last few elections.
The only tone we have heard for years now is the hateful ruinous leftist “tone. A “tone” that is never responded to in kind.
People are sick to death of it. Of course the left loves it because our response is always weak, uninspiring and pathetic.
Nobody wants to follow losers.

Bush is kind of like Bill Maher.
I see what he says here.
But nobody else is talking about him.

He is growing in arrogance and emotionalism. Those are not the leadership qualities I am looking for.

Jebbie could be the formal destroyer of the GOP if it lasts that long.

"We have to campaign with joy in our hearts - not anger," Bush said. I can't believe he said this moron said this.
Is Bush going to show up in some priest or monk outfit for the debate? Maybe a prophet sheep herder getup.

Apparently they think it is. Boehner was just “moved to tears” in an interview too.

Uniting against the obvious enemy is today's priority.
