Jeb Bush urges the GOP to restore its brand
Jeb emulates his all-time mentor: Bob Michel!

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush urged Republicans to pursue "21st-century solutions" to issues Americans face and govern inclusively if they wish to improve the GOP's brand and build on recent party victories under the next administration.
"Our party must be big-hearted and creative and opportunistic," the ex-White House hopeful, who was President-elect Trump's greatest rival for much of the GOP primary, wrote in a Friday op-ed for the Wall Street Journal.
Bush declined to support Trump in the general election, often criticizing his lack of policy knowledge and foreign policy plans, though he now admits the incoming Republican president "successfully tapped into the anger and deep distrust that voters feel toward Washington" to deliver himself a "hard-fought victory."
But as Trump prepares to take office on Jan. 20 and the newest Republican-controlled Congress descends on Capitol Hill, Bush said GOP leaders must realize they have been tasked with governing a divided nation and can unite the country only if the party delivers on the promises of prosperity and security many of its members made.

Ted Cruz wasn’t even an competitor
JEB was the competitor that Trump had to destroy so badly that he would be marginalized.
Cruz was easy to beat and most Americans, including Republicans thought he was a jerk (and were proven right at the convention)
*golf clap with eyeroll*
Gibbering Geb; you and your family, and the rest of your ilk, are what caused the GOP failure.
JEBBIE, is that you clapping again; SHUT THE HELL UP.
I think that the Jebster is the only failure here. With control of both houses of the Legislature plus the man in the Oval Office, I don’t see that as “failure”.
JEB, JEB, JEB - WHAT'S THE PROBLEM ???
that should have been use AGENDA 21, not us.
You might want to go back and read the delegate count after making such a ridiculous statement.
I did, and Trump blew it out of the water
Cruz was a luzer
and always has been one
May he rest in the dustbin of history
Jeb! Read my lips! No more Bushs, Clintons, Obamas, Kennedys. GO AWAY!
So if Trump nominates Cruz for the Supreme Court you’ll switch to the Democratic Party? LOL
Is everything black and white in your world?
You are not part of us, Jeb, you limp, flaccid loser.
Do you not understand that Cruz clearly came in second in the Republican primaries? Not Jeb, not Marco or Christie. He’s 45 years old. He’ll be handily re-elected in 2018 in the biggest Republican state in the union. Dustbin my Aunt Fannie.
So did Hillary
Why do we care about these losers?
2nd place is just 1st loser
Cruz is done
He can go and switch over to the RAT party where he belongs
He should know about failure. 140 million dollars worth.
Trump already rebranded the GOP for you. MAGA, or is that not good enough for you, Jeb!
Oh, 2015 sign-up. Okay.
As Ann Coulter once tweeted, perhaps Jeb! can be our first woman president someday.
