Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush Back In Iowa, Courting Wary 2016 Voters Jeb Bush

By SEEMA MEHTA

The Iowa campaign begins for Jeb Bush with two-day visit to first caucus state. Jeb Bush has romped when it comes to 2016 money, but now courts voters. In his first appearance in Iowa since announcing he was weighing a run for president, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on Friday fondly recalled campaigning here with his father but said he would work to differentiate himself from both former President George H.W. Bush as well as his brother, former President George W. Bush.

“There are people including myself that love my brother, love my dad, but I’m going to have to get this on my own,” Bush told reporters after speaking at a fundraiser for Rep. David Young, an Iowa Republican.

Speaking to about 100 people at a dessert reception, Bush said he had stumped across the state on behalf of his father, and indicated he would run similarly hard if — as widely expected — he seeks the White House himself.

“I just love this state. I really had a good time, and my dad won, which was a spectacular experience,” Bush said. “I’ve done it both ways. I’ve been to Iowa where my dad lost, and I’ve been there when he won. I like the winning part better, to be honest with you.”

Reminds me of the third season of “House of Cards”...

An excellent series, for those of you who haven’t seen it yet - such fun watching our past politicians get quietly exposed and roasted, even if the dim bulbs watching won’t get the sub-text...

“I just love this state. “

Jeb Bush must think Iowa is part of Mexico.
