In an interview with David Brody, Jeb Bush sketched out his case for why he might be a good president.
Said Bush: “It will be based on my record. And that record was one of solving problems from completely from a conservative perspective. I cut taxes every year, I shrunk the size of government.”
For his critics who say he’s too mainstream establishment: “I will be able to, I think, manage my way through all the chirpers out there.”
