It is true that some people who actually were Reaganites in the 80s might not pass muster as conservatives today, because so much has changed. Somebody who actually was in Reagan's cabinet, like Schultz or Baker, is likely to get dissed by people who didn't know Reagan or have anything to do with him.
But Bush's problem with the right is that he goes out of his way to antagonize conservatives on things like immigration. There are a lot of libertarians without borders out there who champion "pro-growth, pro-liberty and pro-free enterprise ideas" who one wouldn't consider to be conservative because they don't have enough respect for the nation-state and cultural traditions. When it comes to immigration, Jeb might feel at home with them.

Christopher Ruddy, who just donated a million dollars to Hillary Clinton wrote this...
I was going to call you on that, but it turns out it's actually true. What's going on?

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.
hahahahahahaha!
Okay. I'm convinced. [Not really. Jeb would push amnesty harder than his Bro did.]
But what is "reform" conservatism? That is the brand he is claiming. I still recall "compassionate" conservatism from his Bro.

Good point. Democrats will go any length to keep political power. We’ve all been flabbergasted at the lack of fight from the GOP in Washington. Maybe, as some here have suspected, we have closeted Democrats in our ranks in elected office. Not as farfetched an idea as I once thought.

Ruddy telling us to support Jebba the Hut is like the Imperial Japanese right before Pearl Harbor telling the U.S. to forget about those other planes on the drawing board, concentrate on building just the Brewster Buffalo.

We have too many solutions now. Our candidate should stand for not solving problems.

If Jeb is a Reaganite, I'm a Soviet cosmonaut just back from Uranus.
In other news, Christopher Ruddy, the founder of Newsmax.com, which I used to read before I realized they just took AP articles and reworded them to sound conservative, is personal friends with the Clintons? Fock you, Chris!

I’ve never watched an episode of Star Trek, but I assume that the Russian guy would say “inwention,” not “inwnetion” (just as Count von Count on Sesame Street says “sewen,” not “sewne”).
