I am quite baffled that some folks think Jeb Bush is an establishment candidate and not a true conservative.
Granted, the former Florida governor's support for the Common Core educational initiative and immigration reform might give that impression.
But the truth is, Jeb Bush governed Florida as a strong conservative, and he has long identified, even before becoming governor, with the pro-growth, conservative ideas championed by the likes of Ronald Reagan and Jack Kemp.
In my mind, the 2016 election will not be about ideology, it will be about finding solutions to America's problems.
Jeb is a solutions guy who always defaults to pro-growth, pro-liberty and pro-free enterprise ideas that, in my book, are the best cure for the ills we face.
A long-time member of the Heritage Foundation's Board of Trustees, Jeb in April 2013 wrote the cover story for Newsmax magazine entitled "We Can Be Great Again," offering his six-point plan for fixing America.
In Newsmax, Gov. Bush argued that America's entitlement system risks collapse unless there is a course correction in U.S. public policy.
Bush's six-point plan would restore growth to the economy, and includes a key plank calling for more legal immigration I underscore the word legal. Bush strongly opposes illegal immigration.
Nor is Bush for "open borders," as some of his critics have claimed. I have little doubt that, in short order, a President Jeb Bush would make the Mexican border air-tight secure.
In his six-point plan he also called for a far simpler tax code that is less likely to hold back investment and employment, improvements in education, energy independence, and a reduction of regulations that stifle economic growth.
The conservative movement has to be "a movement of growth and opportunity," he wrote. "The core message of the conservative movement, and the Republican

Newsmax Pledged $1 Million to Clinton Foundation

Another charlatan. *spit*
And Newsmax just lost all credibility when it was revealed yesterday that its owner had been giving the Clinton machine mucho dinero for some corrupt reason.
I call B.S. Jeb is pro illegal alien invasion and pro Common Core.
Ruddy...yuck
[shaking head slowly side-to-side] Excuse me while I find a brick wall to bang my head against...
Jeb was a good governor, but one from an earlier era. The same era that delivered us a Pelosi, Reid and Obama government. It’s a dead age for Republicans. Not even remotely focused on the limitations of government. We need leadership from the current crop of governors or post-2010 Senators. Jeb is DOA.
There, I feel better already.
Bad enough the AP is pushing this lie. Newsmax making themselves just like the AP is an insult to those they claim to be representing.
The left hates all Bushes
The right hates all Bushes
The middle (half of them) hate all Bushes
What could go wrong ?
: )
By the way, did I mention George Soros is a Reaganite?
No crazier than THIS mope : )

Jeb: an Obama Republican
Jeb Bush is worthless. A vote for him is a vote for more disaster in America.
It seems to me that all the liberal democrats that run the news and entertainment industries keep pushing this guy at us.
No thank you. I do not wish to see another Bush as President. Ever.
The last two are greatly responsible for much of what is messed up in our government now.
There are absolutes. If we do not reverse Amnesty, reverse Obamacare, protect the right of the people to keep and bear arms, and shrink the size of FedGov, America will die - soon. Jeb Bush can not be trusted on any of these points, and I don’t see much difference whether America dies after three years under Hillary or a full four years under the next Bush in line.
