Jeb Bush: ‘I’m a joyful tortoise’ in long, acrimonious race
Miami Herald ^ | 7/27/15 | Adam C Smith

Repeat after Jeb Bush: He is not angry. Not even a tiny bit.

Florida’s Republican former governor is happy — joyful even. And campaigning throughout Orlando Monday the merriest of presidential candidates reminded supporters over and over again that he is nothing like some of his churlish counterparts in the GOP primary.

“Here’s the deal: I don’t have anger in my heart,” he told about 200 people at a community center in Maitland Monday evening. “We shouldn’t be scolding people. We shouldn’t be saying outrageous things that turns people off to the conservative message.”

“I’m not a grievance candidate,” he told more than 150 fans in Longwood, warning that the race was sure to be a long one and poll numbers would rise and fall. “I’m the tortoise in the race — but I’m a joyful tortoise.”

He’ll never make any enemies, enemies, no
He won’t complain if he’s caught in a freeze
He’ll always ask, he’ll always say please

Beautiful loser
Never take it all
‘Cause it’s easier
And faster when you fall

You just don’t need it all
You just don’t need it all
You just don’t need it all
Just don’t need it all

-Bob Seger

He’s probably joyful because “the fix is in”.

(I hope not)

“Breathlessly going back and forth trying to get a rise out of each candidate based on what another candidate said. This is beyond juvenile. It’s gossip and useless and click bait.”

Well said. It’s become so boring and mindless, such an intellectual wasteland. This is the pinnacle of human progress, human civilization? This is how far we’ve come from the great thinkers of past ages? Seriously? Humanity is in deep trouble. Seems more like a descent into hell.
