MIAMI — Jeb Bush called himself a “head-banging conservative” back in 1994 when he ran for governor of Florida on a promise to “club this government into submission.”
He lost.
Four years later, the Republican returned as a compassionate voice for education reform and society’s have-nots.
He won.
It’s a lesson that still shapes Bush’s approach to politics and was evident this past week when he took the latest step toward the 2016 presidential race.
