Twitter is alight with calls for America to switch her off and Fox to fire her. This is ridiculous.

Jeb Bush Walks Shaky Ground Over Common Core with GOP Competitors

Allison Nielsen

August 7, 2015 - 6:00pm

Thursday night’s Republican debate on Fox News was illuminating in many respects -- viewers saw the voracity of Donald Trump’s presidential ambitions (when he said he would run for the position even as an independent candidate); Rand Paul and Chris Christie exchanged jabs over national security; and Jeb Bush -- who knew it was coming -- was forced to dip his toes into the controversial waters of Common Core.
