Jeb Bush to GOP: Don't Become 'Democrat-Light'

From Newsmax.com: Bush urged Republicans not to abandon their core conservative principles in favor of a "Democratic-lite" agenda. Still, he says the GOP does need to do some real soul-searching.

“If you take the [last] two election cycles, there’s real cause for concern, no question about it,” he said

“You’ve got to do the hard work. That means grassroots organization. It means listening to the base of the party. It means voter registration. It means turn-out operations. It means recruiting candidates that look like the population we’re trying to attract to our cause. Those things seem to have waned in the last couple years.”

The party must hold fast to its convictions. “We can’t be Democrat-lite. We can’t just ‘get along.’”
