Jeb Bush on Christian Critics: I’ll do fine with them in the presidential race, what choice do they have…
Posted on March 27, 2015 by sundance
The majority of the advisors around former Florida Jeb Bush continue to carry the same outlook. An almost identical campaign perspective as former Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney.
Their perspective can be encapsulated thusly: The various contingencies of the conservative electorate will vote for us regardless of what we do or don’t do – they have no option. Ergo we don’t need to win their support, they are -for all intents and purposes- irrelevant, their votes are guaranteed.
Team Romney in 2011/2012 took this approach and -in my opinion- suffered a backlash from large numbers of voters feeling taken for granted and staying home on election day. The advisors around Bush and Romney are disconnected from the decade of change within the electorate. As a consequence Jeb Bush appears to be following an almost identical path as Mitt Romney.
(Via Business Insider) Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) says he’ll do just fine when it comes to evangelical Christian voters in the presidential race.
“I have a record as governor; I don’t have to talk about things. I actually acted on my core beliefs both as it relates to traditional marriage, which I support, and the sanctity of life, which I acted on numerous occasions,” he told Fox News Channel’s Brian Kilmeade during a radio interview on Thursday.
Bush was responding to a recent New York Times article detailing how evangelical Christian activists are “unhappy” with his expected White House bid and are looking for a suitable alternative as a potential Republican presidential nominee.
The article quotes major leaders in the conservative Christian movement, including Family Research Council head Tony Perkins, activist David Lane, and Gary Bauer, a former Reagan official who once led the Family Research Council himself. The three leaders said the conservative community is hoping to coalesce around a suitable candidate but they were not quoted explicitly criticizing the potential of Bush wining the GOP nomination.
For his part, Bush went out of his way to praise Perkins in his Thursday radio interview.
“Look, I have a lot of respect for Tony and his group. I talk to him, I have an open dialogue with him,” he said. (read more)
