Here’s What Wannabe King Bush III Says His First Action Would Be If He Was Elected President

By Warren Mass. During a recent interview with Megyn Kelly on Fox News, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush said that — were he to be elected president — his first order of business would not be to repeal President Obama’s executive action granting amnesty to four million illegal aliens. Bush, who has not yet announced himself as a candidate for the Republican nomination in 2016, said that although he did not support the Obama administration executive action — which he called unconstitutional — he would not remove it (presumably by another executive action) immediately after assuming the presidency. Bush said he would rather rectify the action as part of “meaningful” immigration reform legislation passed by Congress.

Kelly told Bush that she had talked to Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who was one of the “Gang of Eight” that drafted the bipartisan “immigration reform” bill that passed the Senate in 2013 but was never voted on by the Republican-led House because it provided amnesty to illegal aliens. She said that Rubio told her: “It’s going to be very difficult to undo [the executive action] once all these folks are here, if that legal challenge to his action does not succeed.”

The “legal challenge” that Kelly referred to is a temporary injunction that U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas in Brownsville issued last February, blocking implementation of the Obama plan. Hanen’s decision was in response to a suit filed against the administration by a group of states led by Texas. The administration has appealed that injunction to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, which heard arguments from both sides in the case on April 17, but has not yet issued a decision.

Bush replied: “By the way, I think [the legal challenge] will succeed.”

When Kelly asked Bush how he would go about undoing the executive actions (presuming they were still intact should he become president), the former governor replied: “Passing meaningful reform of immigration and make it part of it.” (Read more from “Here’s What Wannabe King Bush III Says His First Action Would Be If He Was Elected President” HERE)

Early Polls Tough to Swallow for Bush

By David Catanese. Like many candidates before him, Jeb Bush has rendered early polling in the 2016 presidential race pointless.

“The polls are totally irrelevant,” he told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly this week. “Everyone needs to take a chill pill on the polls until it gets closer.”

But regardless of their ultimate predictive value, a reading of voters’ early preferences and impressions still provides a snapshot of the bumpy road the son of one former president and the brother of another faces to the Republican nomination. . .

About half of the GOP seems firmly skeptical of him, either because he’s part of a political dynasty or because he’s breaking with conservative orthodoxy on immigration reform and education standards.

His favorability rating is in negative territory among first-in-the-nation Iowa caucusgoers, a number that had to factor in to his decision to skip the August straw poll in the Hawkeye State for another event. (A Bush aide denies this.) In New Hampshire, where Republicans hue more moderate, he’s in better shape, but faces fierce competition in a primary he likely has to win.
