HI,
THIS BLOGGER WAS SORRY THAT JEB LEFT THE REPUBLICAN RACE FOR THE NOMINATION ALTHOUGH IT HAD BEEN A LOSING UPHILL BATTLE AGAINST THE DONALD.
NOW THIS BLOGGER CAN ONLY HOPE THAT TRUMP WILL SEE THE LANDSCAPE ENVISIONED FROM THE BEGINNING BY THIS BLOGGER WITH JEB AS VICE PRESIDENT TO TRUMP AS PRESIDENT (THEN IT WAS WHO EVER WON), IT'S STILL A STRONG TICKET AND A MUTUAL ADMIRATION EXISTS. THIS BLOGGER KNOWS POLITICS SAYS THE VP SHOULD BE FROM ANOTHER STATE AND SINCE TRUMP IS FROM NEW YORK AND BUSH FROM FLORIDA. IT’S PERFECT.
HERE IS AN EXCERPT FROM 2/24/16 PALM BEACH POST OPINION COLUMN FINALLY EXTOLLING BUSH’S VIRTUES AS GOVERNOR IN FLORIDA FOR EIGHT YEARS. KEEP IT IN CASE HE RUNS AGAIN:
“For eight years as governor, Bush bulled through a highly
activist agenda, brooking no opposition, abiding no disagreement. The first
Republican to be re-elected governor in Florida, he put a conservative stamp on
the state that lasts to this day.
With a stroke of his executive pen, he killed
race-based admissions in the state’s universities and colleges. He took steps
to privatize everything from prisons to Medicaid. He set off a wave of
educational reform on a free-market philosophy featuring charter schools,
vouchers and accountability.
He bragged he was nicknamed “Veto Corleone” because
he red-penciled the state budget so often, personally striking out expenditures
that displeased him.
Holding the levers of the state during the 2000
presidential deadlock, he helped his brother ascend to the White House. He
intervened in the Terri Schiavo case, using extraordinary executive powers to
keep the brain-dead woman on a feeding tube despite the wishes of her husband
and the agonized decisions of a court.
Bush was the undisputed giant of Florida
affairs.
But the rest of the nation saw none of that in
this election cycle. When Bush, after a prolonged period of mock indecision
while he amassed a stupendous war chest, finally took his presumed front-runner
status out on the presidential campaign trail and actually began meeting the
media and potential voters, America saw something else: an awkward rich kid who
didn’t seem to get out of the house much.
Bush’s pitch was rational competence. He might
not be flashy, but he was a thinker and a planner and a doer. He had
“big, hairy, audacious goals” — conservative solutions — to such big problems
as education and immigration. His calling card was competence in governance.”
QUITE AN RECORD. TOO
BAD THE POST DIDN’T SEE FIT TO PRINT ALL THIS WHILE BUSH WAS RUNNING
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THINK FOR A MOMENT ABOUT THIS DYNAMIC DUO. TRUMP HAS THE
POWERS OF PURSUASION, THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRESS, THE NEGOTIATION TRAINING
OF A GENIUS AND A RARE KIND OF INTELLIGENCE THAT HAS THE “I DON’T GIVE A DAMN” OF A
WINNER; WHILE JEB HAS THE CONSERVATIVE INTELLIGENCE, UNDERSTANDING, AND COMPREHENSION
OF WHAT PRIVATE ENTERPRISE MEANS NOT JUST GOVERNMENT BUT THE SMALL BUSINESSMAN
AS WELL. BUSH AS THE ARTICLE STATES IS A
“THINKER AND PLANNER PLUS A DOER” AND” NOT FLASHY”.
WHILE MOST OF US ARE AWARE
THAT “THE DONALD” IS FLASHY BUT IS A GENIUS IN NEGOTIATION (A BIG PART OF
GOVERNMENT TODAY), INTELLIGENT IN THE COMMON SENSE AND EVERYMAN NEEDS, .A DOER,
AS WELL AS A PLANNER BUT WITH THE RARE
TALENT FOR LISTENING TO HIS ADVISORS ALTHOUGH HIS DECISION IS THE BOTTOM LINE. BOTH MEN HAVE MANY OTHER
TALENTS BUT THIS IS A BRIEF BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY BOTH HAVE “BIG, HAIRY AUDACIOUS GOALS “AND THAT AS A NATION IS WHAT WE
NEED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CAN WE AT THIS POINT IN OUR HISTORY WITH THE DISASTERS OF
LESS TALENTED MEN DRAGGING AMERICA DOWN AFFORD TO LET THIS TALENTED AND
DYNAMIC DUO GET AWAY ??????????????????????????? THINK ABOUT IT. SCREW WHETHER YOU LIKE THEM OR
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHOOSE ON THE BASIS OF GAIN FOR AMERICA
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS ELECTION MUST AND WITH YOUR HELP WILL BE THE RECHARGING
OF THE AMERICAN DREAM TO TAKE US TO MORE PROSPEROUS AND GREATER HEIGHTS. WE DO
NOT HAVE TO REPEAT ROMAN HISTORY AND LET A GREAT SOCIETY FALL BY THE WAYSIDE
BECAUSE WE DID NOT APPRECIATE THE TALENT AND ABILITY ITS MEMBERS POSSESS.
THIS
IS NOT A TIME FOR CHILDISH EMOTION BUT REAL HARD THINKING. DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR BRAIN AND THE COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA A WINNER AGAIN AND PLAN
FOR IT TO STAY ON THE TOP OF THAT "SHINING" HILL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DONALD TRUMP IS NOT ALONE IN LIKING TO WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHEERS, CONNIE
