Once the man to beat, Jeb Bush returns to Trump's Washington
The Tampa Bay Times' The Buzz ^ | December 1, 2016 | Alex Leary, Washington bureau chief

The last time Jeb Bush held an education summit in Washington, as he does today, scores of reporters and a big crowd showed up. The headline: Bush seeks balance on Common Core under 2016 glare.

Two years ago, speculation raged over whether Bush would run for president. Finally, in June 2015, he jumped in with a big splash of money. The rest is well-known.

Today, Bush continued his re-emergence in a space he feels most comfortable in: policy wonk. He kicked off his Foundation For Excellence in Education summit with an 8:45 a.m. speech.

"This is a time for big thinking and courageous leadership, to encourage each other to move the needle so that more and more children gain the power or knowledge in this turbulent world, this exciting world that we’re living in," Bush said.

He began his speech with a nod to the election. "I actually planned not to be here this year," Bush said to laughter. Turning more introspective he said, "It's always a good learning experience to get beat bad ... It is humbling and that's not bad."(continued)

Unless it’s to attend a Capitals game he really needs to go home.

Typical Bush thinking...
Bush41, Bush43 and Jeb still think The People still listen to them.
That train left the station back in 2002.

the NWO ruling elite need uneducated Americans in order for them to remain in control and Common Core is their conduit to retaining power. Educated Americans and middle class wealth are the biggest threats to their survival.

I am amazed that the Clinton’s and the Bush’s can’t figure out how to fade away and go quietly into the night.

Jeb’s the reason doctors try to avoid the use of forceps during delivery.

Once the man to beat?

When?

After he announced his run, did he EVER show above 10%?

IIRC, from the day he announced, Trump took the lead and remained there throughout the primaries.
