MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (March 19, 2015) — Jeb Bush is betting his political future these days on the hope that pragmatism will trump conservative hostility in 2016.
Fresh off his first public tours of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, the Republican White House prospect has settled on an early approach for dealing with skeptics on the right, casting himself as a practical but "principled conservative," particularly when explaining his immigration and education positions that put him at odds with the GOP's most conservative factions.

They can easily be overcome if he registers as a Democrat. He and Hillary have exactly the same views on most major issues and he's a little (not much, but a little) more likable than she is.

Who is he hiring to try to spin his way out of supporting amnesty and Common Core? Conservatives will not vote for Jeb Bush.
