Jeb Bush and the Copycat Presidential Campaigns

April 16, 2015

Is there something in the water? Jeb Bush just announced that he’ll give this year’s commencement address at Liberty University. He now joins the long line of Republicans – Ted Cruz, John McCain, Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Mitt Romney, even his own father – in delivering remarks to the Liberty Flames.

Looks like all of our Republican presidential candidates (both past, present, and future) are lacking a little creativity and foresight. Somehow, of the 7,000 total colleges nationwide, only one stands out as a premiere destination for presidential candidates: Liberty University?

Don’t any of them realize that Liberty is one of the worst colleges in the country for poor and minority students?
