CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — In a possible preview of a 2016
presidential race, former Florida governor Jeb Bush took a swipe at
Hillary Clinton on Wednesday evening as he stumped for Republican
candidates in the vital swing state of Colorado.
Bush was in
Colorado one day after former President Bill Clinton departed the state
and a little more than a week after Hillary Clinton was last there — an
indication of both the intensity of the state's top race pitting
Democratic Sen Mark Udall against his Republican challenger, Rep. Cory
Gardner, as well as Colorado's oversized role in recent presidential
elections. During a rally for the Republican ticket at a county
fairground in this conservative Denver suburb, Bush, without mentioning
her name, alluded to comments Hillary Clinton made while stumping for
Democrats on Friday.
"This last week I saw something that was
breathtaking, a candidate — a former secretary of state who was
campaigning in Massachusetts — where she said that 'don't let them tell
you that businesses create jobs.' "
Bush paused as the audience
booed. "Well the problem in America today is that not enough jobs are
being created, (but) they are created by business," Bush continued.
Clinton
said the statement was a slip of the tongue, but Republicans eager to
tarnish her image before a 2016 campaign have used it to mock her all
week. Bush, a former Florida governor and a brother of former President
George W. Bush, is one of many Republicans mulling a 2016 run. Another
expected 2016 Republican contender, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, will
campaign with Gardner and the GOP's gubernatorial candidate in
Colorado, former Rep. Bob Beauprez, on Thursday.
Bush is fluent in
Spanish and seen by many Republicans as his party's best candidate to
reach out to the fast-growing Hispanic population, which is trending
Democratic. Earlier Wednesday, he appeared with Gardner and Beauprez at
Denver's Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, where he took questions from
Spanish-language media about immigration.
The former Florida
governor warned against President Barack Obama's expected executive
action to limit deportations, promised for some time shortly after the
election. Instead, Bush said Congress needs to pass a bill and that a
newly Republican Congress would solve the nation's immigration woes —
although the Republican-controlled House refused to vote on a major
immigration bill this year.
"The constitution requires Congress to
pass laws, not the president," Bush said in Spanish, contrasting that
with some Latin American strongmen's ability to implement laws by fiat.
If Obama acts unilaterally on immigration, Bush warned, "it will be
harder to do it the appropriate way."
