Jeb Bush-- I Couldn't Make This Up Myself!

At a campaign event in South Carolina on Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush was asked how he planned to include black people in his campaign and get them to vote for him.

Bush responded, “Our message is one of hope and aspiration.” But he didn’t stop there. He continued: “It isn’t one of division and get in line and we’ll take care of you with free stuff. Our message is one that is uplifting — that says you can achieve earned success.”

There will be some who will read this and seriously wonder, "Well what's wrong with this? I don't understand."

smh

It would be comical if so many other GOP'ers were not in denial.

Good read bro!

But the conservatives on here won't read it. They won't be confronted with their disease.

Maybe it is blacks who are in denial. I mean, when 90% of them vote for the socialist party, that shows group delusion.

People don't vote for the Democrats simply because they want free stuff bro. This is part of an old and tired racist stereotype that modern day Republicans turn to over and over again.

They are ALWAYS talking to a predominately WHITE audience when they say these things. They use blacks as scapegoats. GOP candidates pair blacks up against their "hard-working white constituents" and say "I'm gonna make them work too". It's "us" against "them".

You don't see the wrong in this?
