New ‘cottage’ at Maine compound for Jeb Bush

Forging identity but also joining the family line

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — Jeb Bush, who has a longtime relationship with this seaside town where generations of Bushes have vacationed, is having a house built for him at the family compound on Walker’s Point, with a wraparound porch and expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean.

The home, on a 1.3-acre site assessed by the town at $1.4 million, was initiated for him by his mother and father, who have tried to preserve the family ties to the picturesque property.

But as he tries to appeal to middle-class Americans in his likely Republican presidential campaign — and distinguish himself as his own man, distinct from the legacies of his father and brother — having a vacation home erected on a spit of land in coastal Maine could be a vivid reminder of the complications facing his campaign.

Already, his opponents are emphasizing his last name — and the old-money New England clan that helped build the Republican Party establishment — as a way to highlight a brand that has fallen out of favor with the newly empowered, anti-elite activists who may have an outsized voice in choosing the next Republican nominee.

At 3,000 square feet, the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom home, with shingle siding and gabled roof, will be the second-largest home at the compound when completed in July. The construction cost of the house, referred to as a cottage in planning documents, is estimated at $600,000....

4. Woah! What a fascinating bit of speculation!!!!

You'd think he'd want to sew up Texas or some other traditionally red state, and count on his own connections to steal Florida, but one never knows, do one?

Perhaps he's losing confidence in his ability to be ersatz-Hispanic enough to carry the ticket???
