Jeb, buddy — don’t believe everything your father and brother tell you. Their judgment has been proven faulty.

Someone close to Jeb should clue him in. No one with the surname Bush will be elected president for the foreseeable future. No one.

This would save Jeb a lot of time and money.

I’m a conservative. I measure everything against that. Jeb Bush is not a conservative.

'I'm a conservative'

He made it a point to go after Brewer in Arizona for trying to enforce immigration law.

I think he's another one who doesn't like the "tea party" (which is the GOP rank and file) except when he's running for office.
