Commentary: Jeb Bush is more conservative than his brother

Jeb’s problems are self-inflicted. He attacked Governor Brewer for trying to do something about the border. He attacked tea party folk, attacked conservatives, and said he’d win without them.

The fact that he is not a shoo-in is his own doing. Did he show up at any tea party rallies? I don’t think so. Trump should have no chance, and yet he is winning simply because he promised to do something about the border. Thats pretty simple. When he sees Trump’s crowds he should think, that should be me. If only he wasn’t an open-borders squish.

Genuine Conservatives don’t run for office saying they’ll win without the Conservative vote.

This op-ed must be for the low info voter

"NO ONE WANTS ANOTHER CLINTON!"

Hillary will pull at least 55 million votes. That's a lot of "no one's". Just sayin'.

Depends on what the definition of "one" is.

“Jeb Bush is more conservative than his brother”

IF TRUE, so what?
That ship has long sailed.
NOT into a 3rd Bush presidency!

[dragnet2]

How many well connected insider Republicans will be supporting Hillary among those you mentioned?

Will that be their ultimate weapon to stop Trump?

[Parley Baer]

This must be from the comics section of the Chicago Tribune.

Of course - that’s why his campaign bragged that they intended to ignore the conservative base, and just win the nomination by raising more money than anyone else.

And the WHO says that bacon will kill you, I don't believe them either.

Yes she will. Even people who don't trust her, will still vote for her. Kind of sucks, but that is reality.

"Depends on what the definition of "one" is."

LOL

So?
We all knew W was a liberal when he was running: advocate of Amnesty and open borders (one benefit of 9-11 was that it forced him to squash his promise to Calderon to grant universal amnesty), and big Government (so called 'Compassionate Conservatism'). He was a mid 1960s style Democrat. Loved Big Government, but still loved America. The 21st Century version of the Democrat is: love Big Government/hate America.

[Dagnabitt]

I cannot wait to hear Jeb utter these words:

"Tonight I am suspending my campaign for President of the United States."

(Extra points if the Mexican dwarf lady is sobbing at his side)

[The Duke]

... says the Chicago Tribune newspaper.

[arthurus]

He’s not and it wouldn’t mean much if he were.

[rrrod]

Ive noticed a full court press this week by the Bushies.....wont help a bit LOL

[Joe Boucher]

no Bush is truly a conservative.
And their “compassionate conservatism” is simply horse shit.

[odawg]

With Ramesh Ponnuru’s degree of conservatism, he probably considers Obama a bit conservative.
