David Brooks: Jeb Should Become the ‘Laxative’ Candidate

Video cross-posted here at NewsBusters. During a panel discussion on NBC’s Meet the Press about the state of Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign, liberal New York Times columnist David Brooks used a crude analogy to explain how Bush should turn around his campaign. The liberal Republican proclaimed Bush should “lead with his strength, and just say ‘I'm boring. I’m boring. Is our problem that we don't have too much boringness? No, it’s we’ve got too much craziness. And so I’m going to be your sedative. I'm going to be a laxative, I guess, to calm you down.’”
