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.

Reminder to all: Jeb’s campaign and his PACs/SuperPacs spent $138 million in the primaries. He won exactly three delegates—spent $46 million per delegate. ...........and he has the nerve to lecture us about “rebuilding” the GOP?!?! The cluelessness is breath-taking!

But..but they told him he was the prohibitive favorite (to lose to Hillary).

Meanwhile, Trump wrote the book, and the TV show, on branding.

It was a meme

there was someone who photo shopped one of JEB’s billboards to say “have you seen my turtle?”

I was being sincere. I live in a town so backwards that ‘frugal’ is considered a bar foul. No one around here uses proper vocabulary and I miss it.
