Is Jeb Bush A Schlemeil?
Translation: A bumbler, a fumbler, a person plagued by ineptitude. Or, to put it more inelegantly, a schlemeil is somebody who eludes a mud puddle only to step in dog poo.
----------
While trying to mend fences with Hispanics, he said that he hadn't meant to suggest that the slur term "anchor babies" applied to them. No, no. Here's what he meant: "Frankly, it's more related to Asian people coming into the country." Well, that clears things up. He hadn't meant to smear Hispanics. He was trying to smear Asians. here

Bush Backtracks After Falling For Right-Wing Media Talking Points On Birthright Citizenship
After falling for right-wing media talking points about ending birthright citizenship and "anchor babies," Republican presidential candidates Jeb Bush is scrambling to justify and backtrack his offensive rhetoric. here
Conservative media have spent years complaining about "anchor babies" and "birth tourism," and calling for an end to birthright citizenship -- a constitutional guarantee.
----------
Conservative media figures going back to Glenn Beck in his Fox News days have railed against so-called "anchor babies" and "birth tourism," the former a derogatory slur and debunked myth used against U.S. born children of non-citizens, the latter of which represents a sliver of births that experts have repeatedly pointed out are "extraordinarily rare" and an insignificant immigration problem. As Salon's Simon Maloy wrote, this "grossly nativist and legally dubious" rhetoric has nevertheless found a receptive audience among conservatives.

Marco Rubio's "Pain-Capable Unborn Child Act"
At the debate Megyn Kelly suggested that the Florida Republican would "favor a "rape and incest exception" to abortion bans. "I have never said that," Rubio objected. "And I have never advocated that. What I have advocated is that we pass law in this country that says all human life at every stage of its development is worthy of protection." But he appears to be wrong about never having advocated the exception. In 2013, Rubio cosponsored a Senate bill with wide-ranging Republican support called the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Act, which would have banned abortions after 20 weeks, and that bill had exceptions for rape, incest, and in cases when the mother's life was threatened. here
Bush also touted his pro-life record, adding that
He defunded Planned Parenthood
while chief executive of Florida. The St. Petersburg Times reported in 2003 that "Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida lost $124,000 last year from its family planning division. Bush diverted the funds to abstinence-only educational programs."

MaryJo Pezzi: An election rigged for Bush by Jeb Bush
The government of Florida tossed out thousands of African American Voters from the Registry in 2000 and also turned away thousands of African Americans from polling places. At the heart of this American political scandal was Gov. Jeb Bush and his Secretary of State in charge of counting the votes, who was also President of the George W. Bush for President campaign.
In fact, in #Florida a black person is 1000% more likely than a white person to have their vote thrown out.
Going into the 2016 elections, it is important to remember what happened in 2000 because Jeb Bush is now a candidate for President of the United States. here

Jeb Bush's Voter Purge Part 2
Jeb Bush still doesn't have a good answer for his effort to purge Florida's voter rolls of convicted felons in 1999, the year before the infamous election in which several hundred Sunshine State votes would secure the presidency for his brother, George W. Bush. here

Jeb Bush's Felon Purge
The felon purge wrongfully denied thousands of legitimate voters the ability to participate in a presidential election pitting Republican George W. Bush against Democrat Al Gore. Ultimately, a few hundred Florida ballots would determine the presidency, and with it, the nation’s path for the next eight years and, really, well beyond. here
