Bush's brother, former President George W. Bush, has urged him to stay in. "His advice is consistently: Stay the course, be patient, it's coming your way," . . . And he(Jeb) said one of his central goals as president would be to restore the lost art of bipartisan compromise to Washington.

"I don't think liberals are bad people," he said.

Good luck with that. Even W couldn't pull that off.

W. Rolled over every time. He couldn’t or wouldn’t stand up to the profligate spenders in the DC political class. He was one of them

You mean giving the Democrats everything they want?

That’s the kind of bipartisan compromise we’ve seen in Washington.

NH GOP voters said thanks but no thanks.

“Bipartisan compromise” means roll over, play dead, and let Democrats walk all over you. Democrats don’t want bipartisan compromise; they have no use for it.

Yup. Marco and Jeb will be going hammers and tongs at each other right up to the SC primary.

The fractured RINO vote will ensure Trump glides to an easy win.

Michael Medved is a Republican of the Nelson Rockefeller-John Lindsay-Lowell Weicker wing of the party—so he’s a bellwether as to how the GOPe party line will shift. He has recently been talking up Rubio and Bush. Wonder who he’ll be touting tomorrow?

He was one of them

What a huge disappointment.
The greatest opportunity to turn the country ariund and he blew it big time.

I sometimes wonder if we night actually have been better off with Gore.

Republicans would have howled and gone into a rage if Gore proposed the things Bush did.

They would have fought Gore tooth and nail but since Bush was a republican president they just went along for the ride.

That there is reason enough NOT to support Jeb Bush. True conservatives know liberals are bad people, even if you must sometimes work with them. You can work with them while hating them, and get them to compromise their beliefs towards a conservative viewpoint.

That's Liberal-speak for give them everything they want for nothing in return. Jeb would be very good at that.

Loser.

Remember that Bill is Jeb’s and W’s brother from a different mother. How anyone could vote for another Bush I’ll never understand.

I asked several libs years ago why they hated W so much. I pointed out he spent more than any democrat, gave the democrats everything they wanted and let Ted Kennedy write the education bill. All I got were blank looks.
