Yes, attacking a popular Republican Governor and giving a huge opening for the Dems and the left to move in is really "practical".
Maybe it's really a bit vindictive, short-sighted and counter-productive.
I'm not attacking Jeb Bush. I'm commenting on what I've seen him do. Or not do in this case. He's a wimp. I suppose if he saw a child drowning in a lake he would not jump in and try to save them if he saw a "no swimming" sign? "Sorry you had to drown kid. See the sign? Kid? Hey kid? Oh well..."
Darwin's Law applies to elected officials too. That's a fact. Too bad for Jeb Bush.
Jeb Bush created his own problem here. I'm a conservative but I'm not cutting him any slack when it comes to something like this.
