So to some extent I think Jeb Bush is right.

Yes, he is. The young people aren't going to respond to the word "Reagan" as much as has been done.

They are looking for new words going forward i.e. conservative principles wrapped in new rhetoric.

Of course, Reagan should still be continued to be taught about, as should any American hero, but the youth is looking for a new standard bearer, as well they should.

Well..., by your reasoning, we shouldn’t expect today’s kids to respond well to our Founding Fathers beliefs either. Right?

Sorry, it doesn’t take new rhetoric to sell reasoned ideals.

You herald the men who gave you a free ride, or get off and walk. No thanks.

They are going to respond even less to the word “Bush”, which is mud amongst Democrats, and thanks to George Bush and his amnesty and free spending ways, is becoming worth less and less amongst even Repbulicans as well.
I suggest Jeb Bush advise himself and take the Bushes the heck out of the way. For a guy who comes from a familly, that has just decimated the Republican Party after 8 years, to suggest that we forget one of the main icons of the Repiblican party, who's name brings out the base to vote more than anyone else, is simply laughable.
