Notice that Jeb Bush's operative word is 'disrupt'. It's what he'll do if he steals the WH.

Today, in Miami, as he "officially" ends the farce of his 18-month shadow campaign, he offers another clue how he operates.

Even though the Bush family has a long history at the pinnacle of Washington government and politics, Bush portrayed himself as an outsider. .....“ We need a president willing to challenge and disrupt the whole culture in our nation’s capital," Bush, who was governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007, told supporters at Miami Dade College.

Somehow, 'disruption' is also a warlike word when he uses it in the context of education. But he's been on the warpath against public education for more than 15 years now.

Provocative idea by @willweatherford. We need disruptive innovation in higher education.

Weatherford was the former Florida House Speaker until last year. A Bush flunky.

Oh, the many reasons this dishonest, self-aggrandizer will not weather well the coming media storm.... he'll start by getting snippy.

when they destroy a previous manner of business or supply chain, ie, brick and mortar stores, taxi services, etc. In other words, destroy current standards and replace them with gawd knows what. Totally in line for the Bush Crime Family.

the world changes and must evolve, however I find in my years of experience far too many times we discover that the "disruption" is done by someone(s) who have all the answers, but really don't know the question.

and see if there are any similarities. I mean we already know Jeb has many of his brother's and dad's thugs working behind the scenes.

If you find anything it would make for a hell of a blog post.
