Steyn: Jeb ‘Unable’ to Tell Why a 3rd Bush in a Quarter Century Ought To Be President

HANNITY: “What do you do if you’re Jeb Bush at this point and by all expectations going into this primary, he’s underperforming? He’s now at even at 4 percent in the latest poll. What would you advise him?”

STEYN: “Yeah. Well, he’s been — he started out this debate season standing next to Trump, in number two, in the first FOX debate, FOX News debate. And he’s now moving further and further toward the end of the line. The fact is he’s been unable to tell us why a third Bush in a quarter century ought to be president of the United States in a nation of 300 million people. You’re asking people to do something extraordinary. To say that the Bushes are so indispensable to the health of the Republic that we need three guys from the same family to be president in a quarter century. [crosstalk] If you are asking the American people to support you on that, you ought to know long before this stage what your rationale for running is. And it’s not good enough just to say that you’re a competent state governor or a competent administrator. You’re asking the American people to do something extraordinary, that would be extraordinary in any free democratic representative society and you ought to have a better explanation as to why you’re so indispensable, than Jeb Bush does. It’s amazing to me.”

HANNITY: “All right, Mark Steyn, always good to see you. Thank you, sir.”
