Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is actively exploring a run for the GOP nomination, and the branding is beginning in Detroit today:
.@DanaBashCNN reports Bush will float himself as candidate of "reform conservatism." http://t.co/31G7G9sa6a

Interesting contrast with George W. Bush's "compassionate conservatism"
— Shane Goldmacher (@ShaneGoldmacher) February 4, 2015
George W. Bush ran a campaign of “compassionate conservatism” in 2000 and many see something similar in Jeb’s “reform conservatism” approach.
@ShaneGoldmacher @DanaBashCNN So reform polled better than prudent and compassionate?

@ShaneGoldmacher Without the alliteration, is it catchy enough to earn him a spot as Scott Walker's running mate?

@DanaBashCNN @JebBush Is that anything like "compassionate conservatism"? If so, I'll pass

@AdamBaldwin If the "reform" is anything like "compassionate," the Republic is doomed. 🙁

@DanaBashCNN: @JebBush should reform the country club. He needs to live in real view and not in crony capitalist land of overbearing gov.

@ADPEfferson @AdamBaldwin And is it more or less compassionate than Compassionate conservativism?

Why the need for a qualifier before “conservatism”?
@ShaneGoldmacher @DanaBashCNN How bout just PLAIN Conservative? Without caveats like "Reform""Hope and change" oops how'd that get in there?
