Jeb Bush: What does he stand for?
CBS News ^ | 8/12/15 | REBECCA KAPLAN, JAKE MILLER

Jeb Bush's competitors for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination are going to fairly extraordinary lengths to earn media coverage - lighting their phones on fire, taking a chainsaw to the tax code, using an assault rifle to cook bacon (seriously.)

Bush, though, is taking the more conventional route: The former Florida governor is raising money at a record-breaking clip, he's campaigning hard in early primary and caucus states, and he's gradually rolling out a robust policy platform.

It's a notably circumspect approach to what has become, thanks largely to Donald Trump's combustible candidacy, a roller-coaster of a primary season. But Bush's decision to keep his head down and emphasize substance over pizzazz is not a bug in his campaign - it's the central feature.

"We shouldn't be saying outrageous things that turns people off to the conservative message," Bush told a crowd in Miami last month. "I'm not a grievance candidate...I'm the tortoise in the race, but I'm a joyful tortoise."

Jeb is the Anti-Trump. And there are a lot more Anti-Trumps where he came from.

One thing he stands for — conceding to county probate judges the power to command the killing of people never even accused of a crime.

As I posted before:

I can’t even imagine this Bush in the White House. First order of business: Open a new position in the First Lady’s staff: English Instructor. Revise hydraulic systems in President’s limos and Secret Service rigs so they’ll hop up and down. There’ll be nine families living in the Lincoln Bedroom. New National Anthem: “Lowrider”.
