A big question at a Christmas party I recently attended was how many Republicans will jump into the primaries, and how nasty will they be with each other.
Even when someone suggested Jeb Bush might enter the field, after all he is forming a committee to investigate whether or not he should possibly think that he might throw his hat in the ring, people figured any negative thing in his and his family’s past that could be slung at him will be.
Of course, the fact that he was the governor of Florida with a good Cuban American following was offered as a reason he would get support, but then the Cuban thing entered the arena, and that could change things for him
At first he seemed very clear and principled in his opposition to President Obama’s making moves to normalize relations with Cuba.
He doesn’t think the United States should be negotiating with a repressive regime, you know like his father wanted to do with China, and the United States has done with Russia and Viet Nam over the years.
His recent comments about this Cuba business were similar to remarks he made in 2011 about Cuba looking good while treating its people badly.

At that time he wanted our country to continue embargoes and sanctions against Cuba.
“The idea of unilaterally changing our policy in return for nothing, I think, would yield nothing,” Mr. Bush said.
But then, while he said things against Obama’s move, obviously to look like the right Republican, it turns out that while he was a paid adviser to Barclays Bank for $1 Million a year, Barclays had to settle criminal charges for violating the sanctions against Cuba.
Obviously, Jeb can’t be too strong in demanding that the U.S. continue sanctions against Cuba while he works for a company that makes money by ignoring them, especially if he is going to run for president and most likely use the Cuban “scandal” against his opponents who might support normalizing relation with the island nation, so he quit that job, an action that will become effective at the end of this year.
Even Romney sees a problem with this being a skeleton in Jeb’s closet as he said, “You saw what they did to me with Bain. What do you think they’ll do over Barclays?”
Jeb already appears to be too liberal to the conservative wing of his party, and he is friendly with the Clintons, so making money as an adviser to a company that made money ignoring U.S. sanctions against Cuba may cause him problems unless he is able to get everyone to forget this before the primaries.
