He, of course, means he's going to have to win via the John Houseman method: He's going to have to earrrrrrrrn it. What he should understand is that that is a reference to how many Republican votes and delegates he's actually going to amass, and what his actual chance at the GOP nomination really is, what with his surname handicap, his avowed antipathy for conservatives, his affinity for Common Core, and his continued affection for amnesty:
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush on Friday said that giving illegal [alien]s a pathway to "earned legal status" is a "rational, thoughtful" way to manage the eleven [sic] million illegal [alien]s currently living in the United States.
Speaking at the New England Council's "Politics and Eggs" breakfast, the likely 2016 hopeful proposed giving illegal [alien]s provisional work permits once they paid taxes and fines. Bush said they would also be granted legal status so that they could "earn over an extended period of time," Breitbart reported.
Or a more wonky version of his defiant declaration last year that illegals "who come to the United States to provide for their families are not committing a felony but an "act of love."
To de-wonk Jeb's gibbering, this really isn't nearly as complicated as the amnesty crowd generates cosmic dust clouds of obfuscation to depict. There is one legal, constitutional way for illegal aliens to obtain "legal status": Go home and apply for U.S. citizenship through the process already established by U.S. law, and disabuse yourselves of the notion that U.S. citizenship is an entitlement. No taking cuts, no shortcuts, no mulligans. Act like you genuinely believe that U.S. citizenship means something more than just an ATM.
This is what the vast majority of the voting public, even a bare majority of the "adult" public, and virtually the entirety of your party's base emphatically believe, Jeb. It's getting damn near past time for you to get with this program.
If you want anyone to give you the GOP nomination, that is.
