The Musings of Jeb Bush...

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Call it a tipping point, a time of choosing or testing. Whatever you call it, it is clear that this election will have far-reaching consequences for both the Republican Party and our exceptional country.

He was ineffective during his campaign largely because he failed to clearly enunciate conservative and libertarian common sense ideals. Because McCain failed to to present a focused vision for America he was unable to inspire trust in the majority of Americans. Losing the socialist/statist crowd  was a forgone conclusion.
