Jeb Bush Gets Trumped; Now Claims To Back English and American Culture

Jeb Bush is trying to turn on a ten-centavos coin. Well, let’s say he’s turning on a dime. Last week, he was doing what he’s been doing for many years — praising imported diversity, lauding migrants’ Latino culture and happily chatting to voters in Spanish. But on Monday, he suddenly announced that he likes Americans’ evolved common culture and wants a common language, presumably English.

Jeb Bush’s Coming-Out Campaign for His Own Identity

One-time frontrunner Jeb Bush had a very underwhelming performance during the second Republican presidential debate. He fumbled well-rehearsed attack lines and displayed a forced grin through most of the three-hour extravaganza.
