Jeb Bush Lays Out His "Vision" (in the WaPo) To Reclaim The Republican Party From Donald Trump
ZeroHedge ^ | July 17, 2016

Having lost the presidential primary in dramatic fashion against Donald Trump, the man originally considered a frontrunner for the GOP candidacy, Jeb Bush, laid out his "vision" to reclaim the Republican Party from Donald Trump’s "nativist rhetoric." Picking the Washington Post as his chosen op-ed venue, Bush said that Trump does not represent the future of the GOP or what it stands for.

Jeb has a calling alright. It’s called retirement. It’s the right time. If I was his age with his money, the last thing I’d be doing is putting on a tie and going to work everyday.

Because he is brain dead, the Bush Family has him out there to take the heat off G.W. over the 28 pages, and the Clintons along with them...

All three are in bed with the Saudis, how do you think during Desert Storm we got our bases in Saudi? GHWB...no one else...

The affairs that GHWB had with his secretary while in the C.I.A.; the mess G.W with his drinking (still drinking from the looks of the other day) the drugs in Mena, Arkansas with Barry Seale, Bill Clinton, GHWB and the drug deals and other things in Venezuela with Jeb Bush...they need to hide this out of the minds of the voters...what better way than to have the ‘village idiot’ come out to take the heat off...

I’m surprised the tape of his dance hasn’t ‘gone viral’.
I’m glad it hasn’t yet. Most likely because W. is not foremost in everyone’s mind anymore, and there have been much bigger stories going on in Europe. It was sad, like seeing evidence that a treasured friend is losing it, or has already lost connection with appropriate social decorum.

Yes. He certainly doesn’t have to work. He may discover some retirement hobby he really enjoys and can excel at. I’ve heard that Surfing in shark- infested waters is a great thrill..?

Jeb has become infected with an STD, Stupidly Transmitted Diatribe. Also known as a case of the Please Clap.

If he was a god, and his name was Bush, he wouldn’t have had a chance. Go away!

MEMO TO JEB BUSH:  Instead of getting that degree in Latin American affairs, you might have been wise to get a degree in AMERICAN HISTORY!  Since you're obviously so fond of Latin America, perhaps there's an elective office waiting for you somewhere in Latin America? Oh wait, THEY have very rigid CITIZENSHIP and RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS down there.

In fact, your wife's home country (that'd be MEXICO) has a heavily defended FENCE across its SOUTHERN BORDER! Then there's the matter of your family speaking ONLY SPANISH at home. What's up with THAT? I thought ENGLISH was the official language here?

Whatever could dispose your warm and fuzzy feelings about the nations south of us to the detriment of OUR security and welfare?

Could it have been that you were tended to as a baby and young boy by hispanic nannies while mama was socializing and helping papa build Zapata Oil out there in Texas?

All those factors – and others – make you unfit to lead the United States.

I thank God every day that a sufficient number of Americans “got it” BEFORE it was too late to stop you from taking us further down the road to the “New World Order” meatgrinder after which your papa and his elitist globalist pals lust. And I suggest that you other alleged Republicans read the thoughts of several of the Founding Fathers before the next election.

WASHINGTON ON IMMIGRATION "The policy or advantage of immigration taking place in a body (I mean the settling of them in a body) may be much questioned; for, by so doing, they retain the language, habits, and principles (good or bad) which they bring with them.  Whereas by an intermixture with our people, they, or their descendants, get assimilated to our customs, measures, laws; in a word, soon become one people." George Washington in a letter to John Adams

JEFFERSON ON IMMIGRATION "Every species of government has its specific principles. Ours perhaps are more peculiar than those of any other in the universe. It is a composition of the freest principles of the English constitution, with others derived from natural right and natural reason. To these nothing can be more opposed than the maxims of absolute monarchies. Yet, from such, we are to expect the greatest number of emigrants. They will bring with them the principles of the governments they leave, imbibed in their early youth; or, if able to throw them off, it will be in exchange for an unbounded licentiousness, passing, as is usual, from one extreme to another. It would be a miracle were they to stop precisely at the point of temperate liberty. These principles, with their language, they will transmit to their children. In proportion to their numbers, they will share with us the legislation. They will infuse into it their spirit, warp and bias its direction, and render it a heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass." That xenophobic radical, Thomas Jefferson

Mr. Jefferson's concerns go right to the heart of the questions of uncontrolled immigration and, in Obozo's case,  natural born citizenship, don't they?

I wish Trump's nationalism and anti globalism was spreading throughout the Republican Party/brand. Alas it is not.

Don't worry Jeb when Trump admin is gone you RINOs can go back to corporate handouts, free trade and globalism. Only your party will be about half of what once was.

The Republican Party is not learning the right lessons from the Trump phenomenon.

Maybe so, although I was not aware that the Bush Family had become Pentecostal. Rush Limbaugh was on vacation last week.
I expect one of his callers will bring it up next week, and ask Rush what he thought about it. Sometimes he feigns ignorance.

“Thought about WHAT? What video, what dance?” Then, after a commercial break , Snerdley will show it to him, and he’ll have to cobble together some logical explanation to be polite. Or he may say,”I honestly don’t know what W. was thinking or intending at that moment. I wasn’t there.”
