Jeb Bush will not give his maiden 2016 policy speech in the first caucus state of Iowa, or the first primary state of New Hampshire, but here in one of the most notoriously economically troubled cities in the nation, CNN reports.
It is a deliberate move, and telling of the emerging Bush campaign strategy. Bush sources tell CNN that choosing to speak Wednesday at the Detroit Economic Club is intended to send as much of a message as the words he will utter: that he wants to try to be a different kind of GOP presidential candidate.
Interestingly, the Michigan Democratic Party is pre-butting Bushs speech by noting that he opposed the auto bailout, First Read points out.

and take his entire family with him? Especially his dimwitted brother who all but destroyed this nation. Oh, how much better of a country America would be if Barbara Bush had chosen to abort her kids.
