Jeb Bush previews 2016 run, promising ‘adult conversations’ on big issues

Who
can bring the American people together pulling in the same direction
not only for the good of our country but also for the wealth and our
health, spirit? An honest sheriff and a person that we can really
respect. Who is that person out of the choices that we see running.

No
one can. President Obama is someone one should be able to respect, and
he has worked hard for the good of the country while his political
opponents have cursed him at every turn. Three of the potential
governors running (Walker, Perry, Christie) are in legal trouble in
their home states -- no honest sheriff there. Gov. Bush has been
involved with several shady businesses, and still has a chip on his
shoulder about his brother George W. Bush. Sen. Rubio? Sen. Paul? Sen.
Santorum?

Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their President.

I'm
speaking as a lifelong Democrat here, and I'm also paraphrasing what
Bill Clinton said about George W. Bush: don't underestimate Jeb Bush.
It's pretty obvious that one of the, if not the, largest issues of 2016 will be the prosperity that is NOT trickling down to the average American. If he is able to speak about that without alienating the money bags in his party, and if he proposes specific legislation to address it, that's a tremendous accomplishment in itself. Also, notice that this article didn't mention any social issues. I'd like to know if he even mention that.
Long story short, he doesn't scare me like the others who are planning on running. Yes, he's a conservative and I'd likely oppose most of what he does. But, if he wins the nomination (and that's still a BIG if, considering the current base of the party and their likely bloodlust to elect a Republican after eight years of Obama) and maintains a sensible conversation, that may siphon off just enough independents to win.

The
constant desire of Democrats to turn over governance to people who have
little to no background in governing is a source of constant amazement.
The real problem with the country is that you're correct: they MIGHT win most states. And precisely nothing would change in the government for the next eight years.

put energetic, young, vigorous Marco Rubio on stage with the old, worn

Benghazi, absent of any new ideas Hilary Clinton and you'll see a

Jeb
should hire a bunch of Mexicans to sneak across the border and hand out
Tshirts to all the little kiddies coming across border which read, ”I
CAN'T WAIT TO VOTE REPUBLICAN!”
The Democrats would immediately shut down the border overnight!
They will also receive instructions that if they took off those Tshirts, they will be deported immediately!
Of course Jeb won’t do it because he’s a RINO who works for the Chamber of Commerce and the big money donors!

disassociating yourself from a company that is actually helping the
formerly uninsured? Jeez!

Not saying if I've made any kind of decision myself.
I am a progressive Democrat and have been for many years.
But like Jeb Bush I am also a practicing Catholic, a bookworm and an introvert.
Also like Mr. Bush that is just who I am and nothing wrong with that.
I want a President who can be bipartisan and reach across the aisle.
For me it depends a lot on his position on gay marriage.
I'm against it no if ands or buts.
I think that 2016 Presidential candidates should remember that
there are a whole lot of people of faith in America who
are opposed to gay marriage no matter what the opinion polls say.
And in the end the polls don't matter as much as a vote of the people.
Polls are not a substitute for democracy.

Never
ever trust another Bush - especially after the Iraq debacle where we
lost 6000+ young men for NO good reason - unnecessarily!! He is a
RINO!!
We also need someone who believes in OUR nations Immigration Laws and the fact that we have sovereign borders!!! We do NOT just legalize millions of 3rd world invaders - because it is politically convenient to do so - for the business community and the low wages they want to pay!!
We have already had 2 Bush's in the W/H.... NO MORE!! There are plenty of other qualified people to choose from - so do NOT be "fooled" by this guys political rhetoric !!

Another
low information, uninformed supporter on the obama regime. It's the
height of hypocrisy to pretend your concerned about the death of 6,000+
military, who were volunteers. Hundred of thousands Americans died as
murder victims, drug over doses, accident victims, suicides, etc.
In addition, liberals have no concept of sacrifice. We lost 10% of our population during the Civil War. You were probably against that too. Or WWII. If it had been up to you we would all be bilingual, German and Japanese.
That said, I would have to agree with you about immigration. Jeb Bush wouldn't be any better than obama when it comes to putting illegals ahead of American citizens.

So
Bush notes (correctly) that a few people are on the economic escalator
and the rest of us are not. Yet, his prescription for all of this is to
lower the tax rates for the people already on the escalator. I'm
sorry, but people who are not on the economic escalator realize already
that the people on the escalator are not going to pull (or push) people
who are not invited to the escalator ride on the escalator ride.
Lower the top marginal rates will merely exaserbate the issue. If the top are not paying Taxes the rest of us will be forced to. What this means is - anytime we need a new highway - it will be a Toll Road. Anytime we need an airline ticket - there will be taxes. There will be higher sales taxes as well. For if you don't tax the rich - the burden of taxation will be placed regressively on the poor and middle class. Eventually, the huge wealth disparity will cause economic activity to slow. Hence the reason, Republicans cause recessions and depressions.
