Hillary Clinton’s fledgling presidential campaign seems a little forced, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Tuesday.
“The Scooby-Doo van? No, I probably won't do that," Bush said in an interview on the Michael Medved radio show. “It looks a little contrived to me.”
Clinton, riding in a van she nicknamed after the 70s’ era cartoon, returned to the campaign trail last week in Iowa, meeting with small groups of voters.
But Bush noted the encounters seemed overly scripted and said he prefers free wheeling exchanges with voters.
He also criticized Clinton’s remarks that Republicans over the weekend in New Hampshire only talked about her.
“I didn’t mention her name,” Bush said.
Asked to say something positive about the Obama administration, Bush lauded Obama for enhancing “the big metadata” NSA surveillance programs “while protecting civil liberties.”
He also said he’d repeal Obama’s executive actions on immigration, contending that a better fix would be for Congress to act.
Bush also clarified his remarks over the weekend on President Obama’s nominee for attorney general, declining to say whether he’d vote for Loretta Lynch, but saying that the president’s nominees deserve a vote.
“Getting rid of Eric Holder has got to be a win,” he added.
