Hillary Clinton Hits Jeb Bush First, and Hard, in Speech on Race

Jeb Bush and his aides had envisioned a big, inclusive, high-minded speech about race on Friday in his home state of Florida, a chance to bring his message of colorblind opportunity to a prestigious group of African-American leaders.

In a rare gesture of bipartisanship, Mr. Bush even planned to warmly quote President Obama, usually the subject of his derision.

Jeb, in modern Republican tradition, will come back and say what a fine Senator and SoS Hillary was, and how she will make a wonderful president.

Civility never pays with the Clintons. Stupid to even expect it.

It's obvious that Jeb is following the RNC/GOPe/Reince Priebus/Karl Rove Designated Loser Strategy exactly as planned.

The whole event was a trap and Bush and his advisors fell for it hook, line and sinker.

Somebody seriously needs to ask Jeb when’s the last time he threw a punch.

Uncle Jeb shows us that submissive white males can win an election. You people are losers, sarcasm over.
