MY SAY: 2016 MORE JEBERISH

In New Hampshire

“I’m really intimidating a whole bunch of folks, aren’t I?” Bush said after a woman in the audience here pleaded for “more of a fight” in selecting the party’s eventual nominee and less of a coronation. “I will have to earn it,” he said, turning more serious. “I will share my heart.”

Moreover, he focused on his record as governor of the nation’s third most populous state, and on his immediate family: Bush noted that his life changed when he met his now wife, Columba, in Mexico and that he thinks about the presidency more in terms of his four grandchildren (including days-old Jack) than family history. Asked about U.S. foreign policy mistakes during his brother’s terms, Bush asserted that “that’s not particularly relevant. In a world of deep insecurity, focusing on the past is not really relevant. What’s relevant is what’s the path of American going forward?”
