Ever since "Bridge-gate" threatened to derail the once "inevitable" nomination of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie as the Republican presidential candidate for 2016, Jeb Bush has been hinting that he might jump into the fray.

FUJB!! Amnesty pimps need not apply. Communist Core pushers need not apply!!

By the way, Mr. Big Government Statist Bush, where exactly in the constitution can we find authority for the federal government to have any say whatsoever in the matter of education? It’s not an enumerated power so it’s clearly reserved to the states and the people by the 10th amendment.
