He was a FL Republican Governor . I mean , Rick Scott made both Charlie Christ who ' s now a Democrat , but really isn ' t that different from Jeb ! , except in the key way for me that he stood up for teachers and Jeb ! look amazing by comparison , don ' t get me wrong , and I ' m glad I ' m out of FL now . But Jeb ! was fairly moderate because , at the end of the day , FL is fairly moderate , or rather a combination of a bunch of extremes on either side . But Jeb ! is both the smarter Bush brother and a normal , decentseeming human being . He ' s not great or anything , and I disagree with his platform on economics 100 %. He ' s a relic from the days when there wasn ' t that much difference between the parties because Bill Clinton and his ilk had gone right in order to attempt winning , and I can ' t blame them for that , and because the GOP was still mostly run by reasonable people , if those wanting to Reaganize the economy too much for my tastes .
