Jeb Bush urges the GOP to restore its brand: There is 'no excuse for failure'
"The GOP has no excuse for failure," Bush declared. "We are in charge of both the executive and legislative branches in Washington, and we dominate in the states like never before. We have the power to set the agenda, and we have the responsibility to govern, not merely on behalf of the voters who supported President-elect Trump, but for all Americans."
Bush called on his cohorts to pass congressional term limits, a proposal Trump reinforced immediately after his election victory, and a balanced-budget amendment that would prohibit federal spending from exceeding annual revenue taken in by the government.
He simultaneously encouraged Republicans to reverse executive orders and policies put in place by the Obama administration "that have made America weaker, both [at home] and abroad." Republicans should immediately repeal the president's signature healthcare law and replace it with a market-friendly substitute, pursue regulatory reform, and swiftly reverse the growth of government, Bush said.
"The federal government has become too unwieldy, too powerful and too distant — precisely the problem that the Constitution was designed to avoid," he wrote, adding that Republicans finally have a chance "to contrast our approach, which trusts people to make good choices, with the failed Democratic and progressive top-down approach, which prefers government to decide almost everything."
