(CNN)—Jeb Bush said in an interview aired Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that he believes he'll be in a better position to break away from the rest of the Republican field when he announces his presidential candidacy.

"I think this transition to a candidacy will allow me to be more direct about my advocacy of the leadership skills necessary for the next president to fix a few things," Bush told CNN's Dana Bash in Tallinn, Estonia, on Saturday.

"And as a candidate, contrary to someone who has been listening and learning along the way, I'll offer up alternatives to the path we're on as well, so I'll be more specific on policy," he said.

i thought he already did by turning left.

[cripplecreek]

He’s a trans-publican like RuPaul.

[deport]

Pretty cocky for a guy who doesn’t have the guts to go to Iowa and face the voters there.

************

If you are referring to the Straw Poll I think others have made the same decision.

Out of six events it picked the winner:

3 — Iowa Caucus winners
2 — GOP nominee winners
2 — President winners

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Delusions of grandeur.

[tennmountainman]

If Jeb is the nominee you cay hello to President Hillary Clinton.

[SkyDancer]

I have news for you Jeb - you’ve already done it with your speeches and stance on important issues like encouraging illegal’s coming across our borders.

trans-publican

LOL, you should copyright that.

“I think this transition to a candidacy will allow me to be more direct about my advocacy of the leadership skills necessary for the next president to fix a few things,” Bush told CNN’s Dana Bash ...
.

Yeah? For who? South of the Border?

[Zuben Elgenubi]

He’ll never get past the primaries, unless they are Open Primaries where Democrats can vote for him.

Terri Schaivo could not be reached for comment.

I'll vote for Jeb when Terri endorses him...

"And as a candidate, contrary to someone who has been listening and learning along the way, I'll offer up alternatives to the path we're on as well, so I'll be more specific on policy," he said

Oh! Gosh! That is earth-shattering. Someone should have thought of that before!!!!

[Paine in the Neck]

Like Jim Marshall. Wrong way, Jeb!!

[McGruff]

Sounds like he’s going to have a sex change. Jessica Bush?

[alloysteel]

Yes, Jeb - what are your alternatives? Shall we learn of them more quickly than those which shall be revealed by Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless? And in what manner shall your alternatives differ from those of Herself?

Or would we just expect a preemptive surrender on your part when it comes down to actually debating with Herself on what those alternatives might or should be?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

And run as the demorat you truly are jebby ole boy?

[manc]

Good I hope he does in the way of falling.

[GIdget2004]

He planned to skip the Iowa Straw Poll, which has been canceled. He says he intends to compete to win in the Iowa Caucuses.

[cripplecreek]

Little Jebby.

[grania]

You know it's rigged for Jeb when all of the "expert analyses" never even mention that because of Terri Schiavo, Jeb cannot get the Republican base onboard.

Are the elite so delusional or arrogant that they don't know how strongly so many of us feel about this? Or don't they care?
