Jeb Bush is a Republican politician in the United States. Bush was governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007. He is a candidate for the Republican nomination for president of the United States in the 2016 election. ==Overall political stance== In 2013, statistician Nate Silver "constructed ideological scores for a set of plausible 2016 Republican candidates based on a combination of three statistical indices."〔Nate Silver, (Is Jeb Bush Too Liberal to Win the Republican Nomination in 2016? ), Five Thirty Eight (December 16, 2014).〕 Bush's ideological score on this scale was similar to that of previous Republican nominees John McCain and Mitt Romney.〔 A January 2015 Bloomberg News analysis suggested that Jeb Bush is more conservative than former presidents George W. Bush (Jeb's brother) and George H. W. Bush (Jeb's father).〔Arit John, (Bush vs. Bush vs. Bush: Which Bush is Most Conservative? You Might Be Surprised ), Bloomberg Politics (January 13, 2015).〕 Ramesh Ponnuru of the conservative ''National Review'', writes that "Despite his reputation for moderation, on issue after issue Jeb has taken positions that are significantly to the right of his brother’s — and of every other president in recent memory."〔Ramesh Ponnuru, (Comparing the Bushes ), ''National Review'' (October 23, 2015) (excerpting Ramesh Ponnuru, (Jeb Bush: More Conservative Than You Think ), Bloomberg View (October 23, 2015)).〕 Before winning two terms as governor, Bush lost his first run for governor of Florida in 1994 to the incumbent Democratic Governor, Lawton Chiles.〔Andrew Prokop, (The Jeb Bush formula: How the staunch conservative learned to talk moderate — and win ), ''Vox'' (June 15, 2015)〕 In his 1994 race, Bush "called himself a 'head-banging conservative.'"〔 Andrew Prokop of ''Vox'' writes that after his loss in the 1994 election, Bush retained very conservative beliefs and policies, but sought to adopt a more moderate image.〔 Bush was subsequently elected governor for two terms in office, from 1999 to 2007. Darryl Paulson, professor emeritus of government at the University of South Florida, said: "() governed as a conservative, and everyone in the Florida Republican Party considered him a conservative."〔 Adam C. Smith, political editor of the ''Tampa Bay Times'', writes that "Bush was not just a successful Republican governor politically; he was a conservative activist governor who relished pushing the envelope on policy."〔Adam C. Smith, (Adam C. Smith: Jeb Bush, a moderate squish? Florida knows different ), ''Tampa Bay Times'' (December 5, 2014).〕 Steve Schmidt, senior campaign advisor to McCain in the 2008 presidential campaign, stated that at the time Bush left office as governor of Florida, "he was widely, unanimously, unambiguously regarded as the most conservative governor in the United States."〔Brian E. Crowley, (Five myths about Jeb Bush ), ''Washington Post'', (June 19, 2015).〕 Political scientist Susan MacManus of the University of South Florida, said: "In Florida, (is ) still perceived as conservative, especially on fiscal issues and even on social issues." In a February 2015 question-and-answer session with Sean Hannity at the CPAC conference, Bush stated: "I would describe myself as a practicing, reform-minded conservative."〔Shane Goldmacher, (Jeb Bush Survives CPAC. But Does He Have a Conservative Media Problem? ), ''National Journal'' (February 25, 2015).〕 Bush has been criticized by some Tea Party members as being insufficiently conservative, as he supports positions on immigration and the Common Core State Standards Initiative that are unpopular with some conservatives.〔〔Collinson, Stephen and Reston, Maeve, (Jeb Bush's Conservative Evolution ), CNN (January 28, 2015).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Political positions of Jeb Bush」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
