DC Whispers, July 11, 2015
Just a few weeks earlier, GOP 2016 candidate Jeb Bush was sitting atop nearly every Republican presidential poll as he used his family name, media contacts, and a still formidable and long-standing Bush dynasty fundraising machine to place himself as the prospective favorite among a growing list of White House hopefuls.
Then Donald Trump arrived, and now, Jeb Bush is quietly but urgently telling those around him that something must be done to diminish the sudden popularity of the New York billionaire.

Initially during Mr. Trump’s rise in the polls, the Bush team was dismissive, declaring it a momentary blip. As days turned to weeks though, and Trump supporters appear to be multiplying at a pace that even has people associated with the Trump campaign surprised, the Bush 2016 operation is now openly declaring it wants help with the what is being called, “The Trump problem.”
The call for help has even been issued to Jeb Bush’s seeming Democratic rival – Team Clinton. Apparently, Bush operatives believe that between the two political dynasties and their many supporters among the Mainstream Media and corporate business world, "the Trump threat" can be quickly terminated before it grows into a legitimate challenge to the seemingly pre-determined Bush vs Clinton 2016 showdown.
A D.C. Whispers source put it this way:
“It’s said that Hillary Clinton wants nothing to do with Donald Trump. To most, they just call him a clown, but privately they’re afraid of him. The Clinton team doesn’t fear Jeb Bush because they know what they are up against and that lack of fear is mutual among the Bush operation as well. They both run in similar circles politically and financially, so it’s a choice of shades of the same color and that’s how they want to keep it.”
Apparently Jeb Bush’s focus on “The Donald” has become quite personal. Bush is said to be “deeply disappointed” that the media and corporate attacks on Mr. Trump have only made the outspoken billionaire’s appeal to voters that much stronger. It is a political dynamic for which Bush political operatives are increasingly confused and concerned over.
Those concerns were said to be given some salve in the form of assurances from Bill Clinton during a personal call he had with Jeb Bush two days earlier.
While most of that conversation remains private, Jeb did share with others that the former president reminded the would-be presidential hopeful that, “a lot of this Trump thing will be taken care of during your debates, if not sooner.”

As for Donald Trump, he recently held a news conference in Los Angeles with some who have lost family members to crimes committed by those who entered the United States illegally.
Several of those at the conference declared to the media that Mr. Trump was, “the only politician listening to us.” The Mainstream Media has largely refused to report on the event.

Mr. Trump is later scheduled to appear at a legal immigration rally in Phoenix, Arizona later today that is estimated to have nearly 10,000 supporters attend. Several far-left open border groups have initiated nationwide anti-Trump protests with money that is alleged to having been funneled to them by political donors from BOTH the Clinton and Bush camps.

Note the "AnswerLA signs" – a group funded by many of the same donors as support the Clinton Foundation – including the infamous George Soros…

If Jeb is elected president, it may be an efficient 4 years, but I think it will also be a very dull 4 years. Sorry, Jeb, I hope another Republican is elected president.
Jeb may have been a good Florida governor, but he seems to lack the good management skills and charisma to inspire the country and to win my vote.
Donald Trump is not another George Wallace, for many obvious reasons. But Trump is a populist. Wallace was a populist. In 1972 Wallace was upsetting the political applecart. And Wallace got shot.
What I find funny is that people would consider Trump a Clinton plant in a cycle where Jeb Bush is running. If anyone is a Clinton plant, it’s Jeb freaking Bush. There is simply no way another Bush will be president in this century, so if Jeb is the nominee, then the Democrat wins in a walk.

BINGO... forget uni-party-- its uni-family. The Bushies and Clintoons are such close self-adopted chums that if either El Yeb or Hellary wins its a family affair to celebrate either way.
That is the best reason I have seen to support Trump.
Then they're out of touch. A majority of US citizens are fed up with the mess the DC crowd and their corporate sponsors have made of the US. I could imagine a real persuasive argument that a third party President Trump is the way to clean out the DC sewer, across the political spectrum.
Isn't it likely that a majority of US voters would vote against the dynasty situation?
Well, he did call Bill before deciding to get in...did he not?
Bill Clinton to Jeb Bush: “a lot of this Trump thing will be taken care of during your debates, - if not sooner.”
.
Lame Cherry predicted...
Actually, Bush is the Clinton plant.
Your Xanax is wearing off.
So, did Bill not talk to the Donald before he decided to run?
Oh, I guess not...never mind.
I'm not so sure about this. Jeb is no conservative but he is much, much closer than "severely conservative." I know several conservatives, myself included, who refused to vote for Myth but who would reluctantly pull the lever for Jeb.
Yup! Brilliant ~
Do a one time shot of buying a 1/2 hour of air time, read his book out loud on the Issues that address his stance and solutions, and then ... Let it ride.
Oh, and maybe drop a few more names of Cabinet choices, just for added enthusiasm.
They will do what ever they can to push Bush down the Tea Party throats! There will be talk about how Conservative he is—buts its just like they did with Mittens and McCain. the goal is to have Bush/Fronie vs Hillary/Castro (or Biden/Warren) and the GOP defeat and a 3rd Obama Progressive Leftist march to the “Worker’s paradise” and a broke America.
Bush is a four letter word for Romney.
Wonder if Eric Erickson is coming out to say that clearly what Bill really meant when he said "he'd be taken care of" was that he would put a hit out on Trump... just like Trump was really saying that Megyn was on her period.
If you're advocating armed rebellion, maybe you should get a prescription before you do something beyond stupid.
