Jeb Bush Makes A Grand Entrance

The Republican Party has an embarrassment of riches in good presidential contenders for next year’s race. Thus Gov. Jeb Bush’s debut speech — on February 4, in Detroit, the start of of his “Right To Rise” tour — took on heightened importance.

Presidential campaigns are about much more than name recognition, resume, charisma and money. All of these matter. Yet purpose matters more. The electorate, not the elite, will decide, after interviewing the contenders throughout the primaries and then in the general election, who gets to occupy the Oval Office. And we voters want to, and get to, know what our candidates are promising for us before we hire them.

Thus it is uncommonly important that Jeb Bush’s first major speech as an aspirant was firmly grounded in the supply side vision of mutual prosperity. Governor Bush presented supply side economics more capably, and more emphatically, than any presidential contender since Ronald Reagan used it in 1980 to blow past Governor Bush’s father to secure the Republican presidential nomination. And then to blow past the hapless incumbent Jimmy Carter to inaugurate Morning in America.

There are important specifics still to be spelled out. Bush’s continuing viability depends on the specifics of what he will offer. Still, in his first at bat in the World Series of politics Bush hit a home run.
