Jeb Bush Insists No to VP, Urges Rubio Pick
Sunday, 06 May 2012
Bush gave the commencement speech at conservative Catholic Ave Maria University near Naples, Fla., on Saturday. Just before he spoke, university President Jim Towey asked the group if they thought Bush should be president. The crowd roared its approval, NaplesNews.com reported.
Before the speech, reporters drilled Bush repeatedly on the VP question.
"Wow, no foreplay," he quipped, NaplesNews.com reported. "I'm not going to be vice president. I'm an active supporter of Gov. Romney. I humbly suggest he seriously consider Marco Rubio."
Rubio, Florida’s Cuban-American senator, is the most eloquent speaker for Hispanics in this country, Bush said, according to NapleNews.com. He added that Romney should focus on a "proactive immigration policy that promotes legal immigration. We can't send a signal that we want to be the old white guy party."
Florida will be key to the presidential election, Bush said, adding: "We're the purplest of all purple states. If the president wins Florida, Romney has to do a lot more elsewhere."






An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
