In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush makes the case that the incoming Republican administration should set the agenda by calling for a constitutional convention to establish term limits, a balanced budget amendment and restrictions on the Commerce Clause.
Bush asserts that the 2016 election was largely a protest vote over the growth and power of the central government and that Republicans have a rare chance to shift some of that power back to the states.
Bush wrote:
But here’s something we shouldn’t forget: This election was more about voting against something than voting for something. Americans voted against the “establishment,” against the country’s changing culture, against a dysfunctional Washington, against the privileged,

Shut up, Jeb.
Shut up, Jeb.
America voted against YOU, Jeb!
P.S. Thanks for killing Terri Schaivo, you worm.
I can’t think of a better way to kill off the possibility of a Constitutional Convention than having Jeb Bush endorse the concept.
What a moron!
What a passive aggressive way to be a sore loser.
I don’t visit the Blaze, nor read anything I see their name on.
Bar’s little boy wants us to believe he’s an important conservative now?
Jeb is starting to catch on how mad the great unwashed are,

This is long over due.
If this diphsit is for it then I’m against it.
wo, wait a minute. Jeb’s actually right on this one:
“Jeb Bush makes the case that the incoming Republican administration should set the agenda by calling for a constitutional convention to establish term limits, a balanced budget amendment and restrictions on the Commerce Clause. “
What’s wrong with that?
Nobody cares what you think, DUMBASS!
Please clap :(
NO MORE BUSH FAMILY EVER!!

“I can’t think of a better way to kill off the possibility of a Constitutional Convention than having Jeb Bush endorse the concept.”
It may be his intent.
Got too much to do already!
Good idea for the midterms, re-elect, or 2nd midterms.
Right now I’d say second midterm would be most likely to be successful.
There may have been some merit in this idea...until HE thought of it.
