Jeb Bush urges the GOP to restore its brand: There is 'no excuse for failure'

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.

Jeb wearing that hoodie is a good visual for never buying cheap condoms.

When Bobblehead Bush starts making pretentious pinheaded pronouncements like this again, is the correct terminology to describe it that he is speaking “Bushly”, or speaking “Bush-League”?

My point was don’t argue based on born on date. And second still is a loser but then Cruz was a loser from the beginning.

Other than a few hardcore worshippers no one really likes the guy. He’s a jerk.

OK. So, you don't like Cruz.

But a lot of Texans still do and he'll be re-elected by a huge margin in 2018.

So freakin what?

Christie stood up and supported Trump when it was very difficult for a Republican to do so.....

Cruz was like a little baby about it

“Waa waa that mean Trumpy tweeted something about my wife, never mind the fact that I am a total douchebag and did it first” Putz Cruz

Character means something, Cruz has none

You can keep him in Texas and the worthless Bushes as well.

Its easy being a red state senator in a red state

Not as easy being a red state governor in a blue state

Did Cruz take on the pubic sector unions? Oh wait, he didnt’

Did he stop Obamacare? nope

Did he stop anything Obama wanted? nope

Lets all believe he is worthy of our notoriety, not, I am done supporting “conservative” politicians who only say they are conservative during election time

Jeb obviously wrote this speech before the election, and decided that rewriting it would be too much work.

If his born on date had been 2012 or before I would agree with you. Real recent is more suspicious and I’m not the only one who thinks so.

Christie fell to the back of the pack for one reason and one reason only...his suck up to Obozo. He then flubbed the early Trump transition...then got fired. Pretty embarrassing.

“big hearted” in Bush speak means amnesty for all. Jeb needs to go out and do some cool stuff and hang out with his Mom.
