Wont make a difference. Bush is weak on the border and embraces another culture.

Running Jeb is like running Billy Carter (RIP)

Wow.

That's right. Americans dont want someone who embraces Mexico as their President. Mexico is a corrupt failed state that has invented nothing, discovered nothing and contributed nothing to humanity. You have an issue with that?

"You attack Donald Trump for a liberal past while he attacks you for being a present liberal."

The comments section is crushing it.

If Jeb Bush is a "liberal" I do not want to associate or be a part of the conservative branch. Because "conservative" must be Hitler, and I don't mean that figuratively. So, they aren't really crushing it.

Dear God look at all the damn idiots in the comment section.

"WOOT GO0000 TRUMP FCK BUSH, JEB JUST DOESN'T GET IT!"

Get what? The fact you are riding an absolute clown's tail who can't even decide which political party (4 in the past 15 years) he is interested in being in? Somebody who will literally bullsh**t his way into whatever staunch social conservatives want to hear? I hate my party having a base of an idiots, it truly pains me sometimes.

So many idiots it hurts, truly hurts.

Thank you, I couldn't agree more.

Ronald Reagan was a rock solid conservative as President. He was the first President to implement a Mexico City policy, he signed historic tax relief into law, he reduced regulations, he had a Fed. Chairman who had a good monetary policy, he supported strict constructionist judges, he took on the air traffic control union and won, and he reformed social security on a bi-partisan basis.

Yet, he granted amnesty to illegals in 1986 and he expanded medicaid. I have criticized John Kasich and Chris Christie for expanding medicaid, and I disagree with Reagan on that issue. But I have not called Kasich a liberal, nor would I call Reagan a liberal. Unfortunately, some in the modern Republican Party would.

There are two issues where Jeb Bush is in the minority with the GOP base. First, his position on illegal immigration, I share his views on this. The base says he supports "amnesty," that is factually incorrect. In fact, 51% of Republicans polled support a pathway to citizenship, that is actually a position to the left of mine and Governor Bush's. The second issue is Common Core, what is interesting here is that it is a complete lie that the federal government created common core, it's state driven and Jeb Bush has said he doesn't want the federal government being involved with educational standards. I personally oppose Common Core and want my state to opt-out, Chris Christie was ready to embrace common core until he decided to run for President. I'm glad we are opting-out.

But let's forget about Jeb Bush here. I have had enough of some in the tea party making false claims about Republicans who don't agree with them 100% of the time. There are plenty of Republicans I like who I don't agree with on every issue. Some are moderate, some are conservative. Even the tea party isn't consistently conservative - their opposition to trade promotion authority is based on paranoia, it's not fact based. I don't see the point in trying to agree with everyone 100% of the time because no one can find another person they always agree with. That's the main issue I have with people like Ted Cruz, if you aren't with them on one issue, you are cast as a "RINO." It seems the most popular figures in today's conservative AND liberal movements have accomplished nothing. What did Barack Obama accomplish before 2008? What has Ted Cruz accomplished? NOTHING.

In a way Bush is like Huntsman. Everyone thought Huntsman was a sane moderate. Truth was as Gov he was pretty conservative. However, there were a few issues where he antagonized the GOP base. He ended up with 1%. Bush has done the same thing but immigration and common core are more important to the Base than anything Huntsman pissed them off about.

Conservative or not. Bush has gone out of his way to piss off primary voters. Fact is history was cruel to Yeb when he lost in FL in 1994. Had we won, I am sure he, not GW would have been president in 2000 and Yeb would have likely won a much bigger victory in both the EC and won the NPV by 1-3%. Carrying FL easily along with OR, IA, NM maybe even MI and PA. Closer to 300 EVs not 271. Much of the acrimony in the country today (not all) stems from Bush 2000.

But Yeb missed his chance and there is no way he will ever be elected.

Trump is correct on 'single payer', it does work much better than the stale market orientated healthcare disaster that the US has.

Highlights from the comments

'Still don't care, Trump is still better than another Bush''

''Folks tend to change their mind when life experience shows that their original opinion or belief is no longer valid or was possibly wrong to begin with. I have certainly changed my mind as I have learned through time. I have voted for TWO of the Bush family for president. Considering the other candidates at the time it was not a hard choice. It is not a hard choice now. Trump 2016!''

''This video didn't really change my mind, and I think it's a weak attack. Trump was a private citizen most of his life, not a politician, and he seems to have naturally evolved his positions over time.''

''I like him even more after this video. He's a pragmatist and not a partisan. I'm a moderate republican and I think the rich should be paying more in taxes. The middle class is getting absolutely hosed in this country. Trump 2016!''

The bad part is I almost agree with that one. As an actual moderate, I want someone who unites the country, not divides it. As of now, only Biden and Kasich can accomplish that.

That said, I believe in American exceptionalism. America is so exceptional because it is not a nation, but an idea - not a country, but a promise - not any organized body, but a hope. While other empires and nations will die, so long as freedom and liberty live somewhere, America shall live.

This great idea, this powerful promise, this greatest experiment, this idea - it defends all born here, no matter the case. Without exception, we allow all to stay. We do not deport immigrants who wish to stay for breaking a law they didn't know about. We grant them amnesty, and they statistically become American ideals. Many times more likely to get a college degree, start a business, have a job, and lower crime rates than the average citizen after receiving amnesty, they subsidize welfare heavily, and many do not collect.

Unless anyone wishes to oppose any of the above likelihoods, unless anyone wishes to oppose American exceptionalism, unless anyone wishes to oppose the American ideals above - I say, do not deport immigrants who help everything.

""That said, I believe in American exceptionalism. America is so exceptional because it is not a nation, but an idea - not a country, but a promise - not any organized body, but a hope. While other empires and nations will die, so long as freedom and liberty live somewhere, America shall live.""

Liberals dont believe any of that.

Denis Prager once said you can tell how someone will vote just by asking them how they feel about America
