Who, seriously, likes Jeb?
Right now we're talking a narrow slice of Floridian low-information Republican voters who recognize the name. Most conservatives want nothing to do with another Bush. Liberals aren't in the party. Socons seem to be gravitating toward Huckabee. So who accounts for the rest?
Really?
I lived under the Bush governorship. Jeb governed as a solid conservative.
Jeb is socially conservative.
He is staunchly pro life.
He is fiscally conservative.
He is a tax cutter.
He is pro business.
He believes in smaller government.
He is pro 2nd Amendment.
Most importantly, he's actually DONE all of these things as an Executive. He's not just talking about what he would do if he were an Executive.
And unlike any other GOP candidate or possible candidate, we know EXACTLY where he stands on EVERY FACET of the issue of immigration.
P.S. Here's what Ted Cruz had to say about Jeb's other issue... Common Core during his candidacy announcement:
Instead of a federal government that seeks to dictate school curriculum through Common Core... imagine repealing every word of Common Core.
Cruz apparently thinks that the Common Core is embedded in a federal law that can be repealed. It isn't. The federal government is forbidden by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 from dictating school curriculum.
The Common Core State Standards initiative is a series of K-12 standards in math and English Language Arts and aligned standardized testing that was set in place by the National Governor's Association. It was fully adopted by 45 States making this Common Core an exercise in Federalism. It is not a curriculum. The States set the curriculum.
Now, "conservatives" are supporting the idea of engaging the Federal government in overturning a bipartisan exercise in Federalism and calling Jeb Bush a liberal for supporting Federalism.
