Potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush weighed in to a key midterm election race on Monday, telling a Kansas fundraiser for struggling Sen. Pat Roberts that the incumbent must be re-elected so the GOP can take control of the Senate and “fix a few big things” in Washington. […]
“This is the most pessimistic America has ever been,” Bush told a $100-a-plate fundraiser, adding that pessimism makes it hard to move forward as a nation.
Americans are feeling negative because their son or daughter has graduated for college with student loan debt and cannot find a job, or they have seen their health insurance dropped or work hours cut because of the health care reform act. …

To folks railing against Jeb Bush, say hello to your next presidential nominee. The country has a dynastic succession for the presidency and the politics is very similar to a 3rd world country. Also say hello to Sen Michelle Obama, Chelsea Clinton Jenna/Barbara Bush and the Cheney daughter before 2020.
You sound almost gleeful at the prospect.
This is a conservative site.
You want the official GOP establishment tool site, it will be much more to your liking.
Sarcasm my man. Try to get it. The political establishment has set a high bar in terms of money an influence where a dynastic candidate has huge advantages over an upstart. Look for Jeb Bush to make some noises about attacking some weird country and the base would fall in under the guise of supporting the military. This is how politics in the 3rd world works.
The Republican party of the past fifty years just ain’t making it, and Jeb Bush is merely parroting the party line.
Time for the Tea Party and Cruz.
He’d fix nothing just like papa and bro.
This is from a man that can’t fix his own breakfast!
I may be doing the same.
Even W. looks like Ted Cruz compared to Jeb. Does Jeb have a conservative stance on any of the issues facing us today that he will fight for?
Lets face it, a Republican that couldn’t beat Al Gore decidedly, had a body that was invaded long before his second term.
Try to recall his platform which included amnesty for illegal aliens as early as 1999.
“Try to recall his platform which included amnesty for illegal aliens as early as 1999.”
Dubya tipped that one as early as 1994 when as Texas governor he stuck his nose into our Prop 187 campaign and took the side of illegal aliens.
Bush, Jack Kemp, Bill Bennett all decided that foreign nationals illegally living in the U.S. were more important to them than American citizens whose daily lives were impacted by the flood of illegals pouring into California.
One of the first red flags that the GOPe was becoming the enemy of the average American.
I agree with your comments. Good call.
Those players sure opened themselves up for everyone to see on that one.
The enemy of the average American..., true.
You’ve been here longer than me and have not yet noted that the “sarcasm tag” is needed since it does not translate well on written medium?
