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.

Mr. Bush appeared unprepared to respond, thanking Mrs. Clinton for joining him at the event but otherwise leaving her criticism unanswered in his own speech.

This is the key line which says everything we need to know about Jeb. What a loser he is.
