Then he needs more practice.

Via The Hill:

Former Gov. Jeb Bush (R) called himself a “practicing conservative” Monday night, saying he would put his record up against any Republican in Congress.

The former Florida governor jokingly said he was being “attacked” when a moderator at a panel discussion referred to him as a moderate.

“Look, I’m a conservative, and I’m a practicing one — not a talk-about-it one. I would put my record up against anybody that’s in Congress right now,” Bush said according to The Huffington Post.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) has also pushed back against criticism that he is too moderate to win the GOP nomination in 2016.

Bush, who is seen as more centrist than a number of other potential GOP presidential candidates, has been a fierce advocate for immigration reform.
