Jeb Bush Says He's Thinking About Running for PresidentI haven't seen this much buzz and hype about a product America had no particular desire for since Cop Rock. But, as Steve Jobs said, how does the customer even know what he wants? I guess that's the theory of a Jeb Bush bid. From Politico, via @drewmtips: Jeb Bush on Wednesday was the most vocal he’s been about considering a run for the White House in 2016. I don't get this, I just don't. Larry Kudlow was ecstatic. Bush was praised by Kudlow for his focus on immigration reform and urged not to back down. I dunno. Jeb seems to be one of those politicians who has a set of ideas he's not willing to compromise with the base on, nor is he willing to make basic efforts at persuading him of his ideas. "Act of Love" isn't persuasion. It's a very weak effort at emotional shaming, which is (rightly) perceived as a hostile form of communication. So this is what the Establishment has cooking, huh? Meanwhile, Rand Paul states the obvious -- the law on abortion won't be changed until the public's consensus opinion on abortion has changed -- but that sort of concession probably won't be well-received by those for whom the pro-life cause is of paramount importance. This sort of "Pro-Choice in my heart but not as a practical governing platform" may read as centrist to some, and will gain some votes and lose others. AllahPundit notes Paul has similarly made centrist noises on gay marriage... [Q:] Right. But it seems what they’re saying is that the Republican Party should stay out of issues like gay marriage. This may be a good thing, and this may be a bad thing: But the Republican Party is currently so divided on so many things I'm not really sure what the Republican Party is any more. That isn't necessarily bad. Maybe it's a sign of openness and adaptability. But all of my instincts are in favor of someone that "unites the base," and I'm not sure who the hell can even do that any longer. Is such a thing possible? Maybe my basic notion that we need a candidate who "unites the base" (and hence papers over deep philosophical differences) is just wrong, and such a thing is impossible, and we actually cannot avoid an actual intramural war to decide what this party actually is. Maybe we will have to have Losers and Winners. | Recent Comments
