Trump likely knows it. But he’s got his foot on Jeb’s neck also knows not to let go, at least until he screams uncle (i.e., drops out). Trump’s not taking any chances with him...and he’s right - Bush is still the GOPe’s man, he’s still got the money and the connections.
No Trump doesn’t know it. He is a New York Times above the fold reader. His social life has included dinner conversations with liberals and he parrots their remedial explanation of why Bush went into Iraq. He simply wanted to remind the debate audience of why everyone should hate the Bush Family. I can not imagine a true conservative running for the presidential nomination, repeating liberal spew. What’s his next talking point......GWB made Muslims wear women’s panties on their heads at Abu Graib?
