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.
Bush often wraps his philosophy in scathing criticism of President Barack Obama. But the former Florida governor's theme is clear: He wants to be the grown-up who ends the Washington "food fight" and governs to "fix things for everybody, not to win a political argument."

I hope so. Hopefully it won’t be another Liberaltarian. We really need some prominent Republican conservatives to leave the party.
Another indicator that he’s not one of us.....Ciao Bushy.....
Jeb Bush is wasting his, and everyone else’s time, with this vanity project. He can’t, and won’t win the nomination, much less the election.
Wise up, Jeb. There’s no grass roots support for your run. The people don’t want you, and will not elect you, no matter what your name is, or how much money you have.
Hahahahha! This guy is even more out of touch than I thought.
Fat chance, Bozo!
“Our democracy doesn’t work when you jam it down the throat of everybody else,” he added. “It’s not always about winning and losing. It’s about forging consensus to solve some of these problems.”
“forging consensus” Like they did with man made global warming.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s constitutional or
not or even right or wrong as long as it can be forcibly shaped
and jammed down the throat of everybody.
John Bush is a tard. His solution is to label all conservatism
as right wing extremism and shame what republican base
is left into voting for the lesser of two evils. Just
like all the people who say we should vote for a Romney or a
McCain because it’s the better of two liberals. Sorry,
I already know (from past experience) just how center
left the Bush’s tend to go. Reagan didn’t like them and
I don’t like them and I will never vote for a Bush again.
Fauxcahontas has even less chance of being elected than Jeb Bush.
Well then he’ll be guessing wrong. Talk about arrogant. He really thinks that conservative voters will act like so-called “conservative” politicians, and just throw amnesty overboard so the “R” team can win. He is so unaware of who conservative voters are, especially after this last straw that broke the conservative camel’s back (Congressional betrayals, GOPe dirty tricks in the mid-terms against conservative candidates, etc). We know who the enemy is, and it isn’t anyone who supports amnesty, whether they openly admit it or not.
“So I guess he expects us to give in......”
No he expects to loose. He’s there, just like Romney and
McCain were, to make sure an America hating communist
liberal gets elected. People say that there is no way
Hillary could get elected. No one ever takes into account
that most of the GOP are frauds and want her to win rather
than have a true conservative president. You think I’m wrong?
Look what they did with the “Cromnibus’ Budget Deal”. Done
simply to keep the incoming TEA party conservatives from
having a say in the budget for almost a year.
Republicans like John Bush would rather have a died in the
the wool communist in office than a true constitutionalist
conservative.
The GOP lost me a long time ago. I would be very surprised if Mark Levin made the mistake of backing the Establishment candidate again. He Obviously regrets doing it last time. It’s not entirely unthinkable tho. If he did it again I would lose all respect for him.
The Republicans mistakenly believe mainstream Republican voters can be coraled like inner city minorities. The problem is, conservatives don’t look to politicians for handouts. The past few cycles has seen more, and more conservative voters dropping out, and I think that number will continue to grow. Jeb’s attempt at leadership would resonate well, if he wasn’t taking the easy road to socialism. He is not a leader, he is weak, and he is trying to appeal to everyone, and he will lose more of the base than Romney did.
No, I don’t think you’re wrong. I understand what the UNIPARTY is. That doesn’t mean they don’t want to maintain the illusion of a two party system. Some Republicans will “swallow hard” (as Romney suggested we do on Amnesty) and vote for Jeb. The Uniparty needs that because it can never look like the TEA Party is growing in influence. Which it is.
I don’t believe for a second that Jeb and the rest of the Uniparty is unaware of who conservative voters are and what we want. They just need to keep us down, suppress our numbers, minimize our voice, minimize our sphere of influence, paint us as racist or whatever. Because they know that our position makes sense to more people every day and they can’t let the movement get out of their control.
“Jeb Bush is betting his political future these days on the hope that pragmatism will trump conservative hostility in 2016.”
This why the word “delusional” was created.
Nope, sorry, bub.
Not a chance Jebster.
No amount of FRino verbal abuse will convince me to vote for that Democrat in an R jersey.
The RNC must produce an amnesty candidate, they’ve already been paid by the Cheap Labor Express for one.
If they are able to use the same playbook that nominated McCain and Romney to nominate Jebster as the designated loser, I hope conservatives will give up the nose-holding and vote for something other than the R or D divisions of the Uniparty.
Jeb should quit politics. How did he ever get elected to governor of Florida? He’s too dumb to even get elected dog catcher.
Quit, Jeb. Just dropout and walk away. You’re the dumbest Bush. And that’s saying a lot.
Quit, dropout and spend some quality time with your family. Maybe take up dwarf tossing.
FUJB
“I hope that Guess again MF! was directed at Jeb. Because I definitely DON’T think that Jeb’s disagreements with conservatives can be overcome.
OOPS! Sorry, it was definitely directed at Jeb. Since I’m in California, if Jeb is the nominee, I’m going to sit this one out. I guess he might be marginally better than whatever RAT gets the nomination, but he won’t win here anyway. Here it’s so bad now that in the Special Primary Election for a State Senator here, Tuesday the “dance card” was three or four RATs and one Republican who had dropped out but was still on the ballot So for the first time in my life, I had to vote for “the most conservative RAT,” to keep either of the union-goon women RATS from reaching 50% thus avoiding a General Election. “My guy” won with 47% of the vote, so he gets to “square off” with one of the female union goons later in the year.
He might be able to win as a D. No kidding. Look at the mess on the other side: Fauxcohontas, Evil Empress, and the Governor of MD?
