Speechifying

Either the speakers aren't saying what they mean to say, or I'm not hearing what  I think they said.  I just heard Jeb Bush, introducing a young black man, make the point that because the Republicans  provided him a choice of schools, he "got a good election."  Did he mean to say education? I don't know what to make of these speeches.  Maybe Clint will clear things up later tonight when he "surprises" us.
