“Jeb is a very good moderate Democrat,” said popular talk radio host Mark Levin. Washington Examiner headline Conservative leaders gang up to block Jeb Bush, say he opposes Reaganism. He is too moderate for the Republican base, conservative commentator and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan said. Its a typical argument: Electability (think: Jeb Bush, Chris Christie), not ideology (Rand Paul, Ted Cruz) is Republicans best chance at defeating Democrats. BEST CHANCE of losing the conservative base: if the GOP gives us a retread, RINO, or centrist who is willing to bail out banks and support a lawless president. To wit, McCain and Romney. His views on immigration in particular have made some in his party recoil. Bush said, “Yes, they broke the law, but it’s not a felony. It’s an act of love, it’s an act of commitment to your family.” Sounds just like Obamas social engineering to me. Bush is also supportive of Common Core, a series of nationalized education standards, that he says is necessary to ensure American children can compete. For conservatives Common Core represents a classic case of the federal government thinking it knows best. While 73 percent of CEOs may favor a Bush candidacy, many Americans have indicated that theyre ready for fresh candidates and names. Again, Wall Street vs. Main Street. Jeb Bush may run. He may win the nomination. But he will lose the Republican base in the same way as McCain & Romney.
