Jeb!: Reagan and HW insufficiently wingnutty in today's GOP.

Interesting.

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush said today that both Ronald Reagan and his father George H. W. Bush would have had a difficult time getting nominated by today's ultra-conservative Republican Party. 
"Ronald Reagan would have, based on his record of finding accommodation, finding some degree of common ground, as would my dad — they would have a hard time if you define the Republican party — and I don’t — as having an orthodoxy that doesn’t allow for disagreement, doesn’t allow for finding some common ground," Bush said, adding that he views the hyper-partisan moment as "temporary."
Yeah, it's temporary until the GOP loses, oh, 5-6 straight national elections. Apparently 2 wasn't enough.
