In his self-described “nerdy” style, former Florida governor Jeb Bush addressed a group of Harvard students on Thursday evening, delivering remarks laced with equal parts wonkish policy chatter and commentary on a presidential election cycle gone off the rails.Bush offered his diagnosis of the current state of politics and discussed what he thinks needs to be changed generally, but also delved into the wounds that remain from the battering Donald Trump gave him during the Republican presidential primaries.When one student mentioned the sharp-elbowed tone of the campaign, Bush joked: “Tell me about it."His comments came at the university's Kennedy School of Government, where Bush will serve as a fellow this fall.
