Jindal and Jeb casting themselves as the "new" Republicans

While they could soon be opponents on the national political stage, Bobby Jindal and Jeb Bush are playing nice for now.

The two potential 2016 presidential candidates have teamed up to film an ad in support of Republican political consultant Alex Castellanos' Super PAC "NewRepublican.org." The Super PAC was formed after Mitt Romney's 2012 loss and aims at shifting the GOP's messaging from reactionary to proactive.

In the ad, term-limited Louisiana Gov. Jindal says the GOP needs focus more on individual voters instead of big business, a theme he's been known to tout during his frequent trips out of state.

"If you don't think the Republican Party should be the party of big government, big business or big anything, you're thinking like a New Republican," Jindal says.

Bush, the former governor of Florida, says parents should have more control over where and how their children are taught: "If you believe that every parent ought to be able to choose their child's school, and that the economy should be driven from the bottom up, not the top down from Washington, then you're thinking like a New Republican."
The themes are just two of a massive 67-point manifesto posted on the Super PAC's website. According to POLITICO, who first obtained the ad, it will begin airing in the Washington market during the Sunday shows and nationally on Fox News Sunday.

It's cringeworthy to watch this BS. The GOP knows that something has to change, but the establishment just can't help itself.

"We need to overhaul the face of this party. Who should we use?"

"Another Bush and that guy that bombed the Republican response to the SOTU a few years ago."

"Well, as long as we're rebranding, what should we call this new republican movement?"

"Dunno, how does 'New Republicans' sound?"

"Awesome? How could it fail?"
