Jeb Bush evades attacking charity issue surrounding Hillary Clinton
NY Daily News ^ | 4/23/15 | Celeste Katz

Posted on 04/23/2015 5:13:01 PM PDT by jimbo123

The former Florida governor and as-yet-undeclared presidential candidate spoke at an upper East Side meet-and-greet hosted by the Manhattan Republican Party during a trip that also included a visit to a Jewish school and some fundraising.

Clinton is “going to have to be held accountable, like all of us, about dealings. That's part of the process, right?” Bush said when asked about the Democratic White House hopeful, who is facing new scrutiny of donations to the Clinton Foundation — including from foreign governments.

Republican candidates should simply take the high road and let the press focus on Hillary and NOT on them.

No more games.

Republican candidates should simply speak the truth and say why they are right and why Hillary and the others are wrong.

Since when is it considered the "high road" to ignore people who are wrong?

How can he attack Hillary? Imagine how awkward the next Bush garden party will be.

“This is the kind of genteel campaign Jebster would run against Her Cankleness. Jebster doesn’t have it in him to attack her, she’s practically family. He’ll lose graciously. It’s the Bush way.”

Absolutely correct.

Of course Jeb wouldn’t go after Hillary. She’s like a sister to him after all. The Clinton’s think ahead.

Hillary’s corruption is at the very heart of the problems that plague America today so we need to focus on her. I’m tired of people on our side being so scared of the media. The hell with them. The Democrats understand something the squishy GOP never has. If you keep saying something over and over without letup, regardless of the veracity of it, people will take notice and start to believe it. The corruption of the entire Democratic Party needs to be front and center in the national debate.

Well McLame endorsed Baraq during the 08 race.
I could see JB giving the Clintons some love.

Fantasy! The left wing media never holds dems to the same standard as the do repubs! Never! Fox is the only exception. But they have been discredited. Repubs have to ATTACK and keep the story alive. ACCOUNTABILITY is non existent for rogue corrupt criminal activists.

Anyone STUPID enough to think the dirty work of investigating and confronting the Clinton Machine can be left to the media is WRONG!

And your other theory about Bill protecting his cushy lifestyle by attacking Hillary...REALLY! What planet are you visiting from?

I respectfully disagree.

There is no need to attack Hillary from the candidates. The RNC can do it. The rank and file can do it. Surrogates can do it.

The Republican Candidates should be attacking policies and presenting alternatives. Attacking Hillary would be presented as piling on, and mean spirited. Yes, this is because the media is so far up her butt. But it is the reality.

We can disagree on the tactics, but I think we agree on the overall strategy of keeping pressure up on the Clintons. But since the NY Times and Washington Post are piling on...this could get interesting without our candidates help.

I sincerely hope you are right. Just feels like we have been down this road before and dems are never held accountable.

And Mitt refused to bring up Benghazi. There’s a reason the Leftist MSM wants to choose the GOP candidate.

My wife and I were talking about just that last night. It doesnt matter what the rule is, they just blow it off.

It reminded me of military school—there were guys who spent all day trying to come up with ways around the rules. If they had just followed them, they would not have gotten the demerits and the hours of walking back and forth across the parade ground.

But, they simply did not think the rules applied to them.
