Jeb Bush says that the Senate should confirm the nomination of Loretta Lynch, President Barack Obama’s choice for attorney general. A number of Senate Republicans oppose her nomination.

“I think presidents have the right to pick their team,” Bush said, according to reports of his stop at the “Politics and Pie” forum in Concord, New Hampshire, on Thursday night.

The former Florida governor made sure to get in a few digs at current Attorney General Eric Holder, saying that Republicans should consider that the longer it takes to confirm Lynch, the longer Holder stays.

What a wonderfully RINO position he has assumed. No surprise there.

Many Americans call on Jeb Bush to bugger off.

Who does this clown think he is, anyway, some wise party sage? He hasn't held an elected office for 9 years.

They do Jebster... and Congress has the Constitutional right to deny that choice in the interest of the country. Here’s a News Flash for you Jebby: We don’t live in the Soviet Union.

Jeb speaks LOUDLY ON THIS, but
Jeb was SILENT, drinking champagne and lying to customs,
as Terry Schiavo was murdered by thirst.

Indeed. He he shares this peculiar quality with Rand Paul; Every time either one of them opens their mouthes their chances of securing the nomination edge lower a few more points.

Jeb’s still in the past when race was the only campaign issue worth a candidate’s time. Hello, Jeb, 2014 should show you that Americans are waking up, things are changing.

I call on Jeb Bush to run as a Democrat or better yet, move to Mexico instead of insisting on turning the United States into North Mexico.

Yeah, the republicans always mewl this same line even as democrats are sh*t canning the nominees of republican presidents.

Do these RINOs have any idea how flaccid they appear to their constituents when they say things like this?

“I think presidents have the right to pick their team,” Bush said”

Yes, and the Senate has the responsibility to vet the people.

Nope,he’s a Bush and he thinks that’s all it takes. The same attitude as the Kennedys and Clintons.

The ROYAL Families.
