In Houston, Bush Faults GOP Over Immigration Attitude
Texas Tribune ^ | 9/21/15 | Patrick Svitek

Posted on 09/21/2015 1:51:48 PM PDT by jimbo123

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush used a speech here Monday before Hispanic business leaders to chide his party over its attitude toward immigration, drawing not-so-subtle contrasts between himself and bomb-throwing billionaire Donald Trump.

"This apparently is somewhat out of the mainstream temporarily in my party, but it isn't really," Bush told the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce's national convention. "A great majority of Republican believe in immigration reform."

Bush, who had hardly started speaking before being interrupted by protesters, only said Trump's name once, but clearly had the GOP foe on his mind. The real estate mogul's rants against illegal immigration have roiled the race for the White House, with Bush on the receiving end of many of Trump's attacks.

"We don't need to build a wall. We don't need to deport everybody that's in this country [illegally]," Bush said Monday, panning Trump's proposals as costly and unrealistic. "That won't solve the problems. Giving people the chance to earn legal status will be a far better approach."

Can a Mariachi band just accompany Jeb everywhere he goes? This man panders to Mexicans more than any candidate for the president of Mexico has ever done.

Jeb is toast. He has no rank and file R support

His whole campaign was planned around getting Dem crossover votes to push him over the top in the R primaries.

With SlowJoe jumping in vs. Hillary, Dems will be told to vote in their own primaries.

I would bet a large amount that the entire anti-Trump, anti-Carson muslim thing is being orchestrated by the bush campaign. Could be Steve Schmidt.

Think about it: Who benefits most, right now? It ain’t a democrat. They would hold their fire until 3 months before the election.

Do Bush or any other of these GOPe cretins really think that there is any amount of pandering that will compel pro-illegal immigration Hispanics to choose a Republican over a Democrat?

No way I’m voting for Jeb. I know a lot of conservatives who have told me the same thing.

If the GOP nominates him, it means they want to lose.

Of course, Jeb wants to enfranchise new Democrat voters.

He’s also in the wrong party.

I guess Jeb believes his kinder gentle approach would work. Hello Yeb, that's what we have now. What a lame weak man. Jeb needs to take a break,he gets worse the more he opens his mouth.

They are delusional if they think they will get any votes from his ‘acts of love’ no way. If there was a chance a person with a R behind his name could get into the White House, there would be a fence on the border with guns and razor wire on it. Heck maybe even a moat.

Sounds like he is the one who should be thinking of running as a 3rd party (instead of Trump). Or he could just try to get on the ticket with Hillary or Bernie.
