Donald Trump and Jeb Bush to Hold Dueling Town Halls
Wall Street Journal ^ | 8/17/15 | HEATHER HADDON and REBECCA DAVIS O'BRIEN

Posted on 08/17/2015 4:44:42 PM PDT by jimbo123

Donald Trump is playing mischief with Republican rival Jeb Bush’s appearance in New Hampshire Wednesday, with the businessman scheduling a town hall meeting at the same time that the former Florida governor is scheduled to hold his own voter forum.

-snip-

When asked about the dueling town halls Monday afternoon, Mr. Trump was flip.

“Because Bush draws so poorly, I figured it would be a good time to draw a crowd. Something like that,” Mr. Trump told a Wall Street Journal reporter when asked about the matter at the businessman’s jury duty appearance at state Supreme Court in Manhattan Monday.

From the article, Walker and Christie are also holding town hall meetings. Wonder who will have the largest crowd? Inquiring minds want to know.

Maybe they can split the cost of a conference room at the downtown Rest Haven Court...

That was a shameful chapter in the history of the State of Florida and specifically in the history of Jebuardo, he wrung his hands and wailed about how “he couldn’t do anything” but the fact is, a REAL conservative Governor (Ronald Reagan in his prime?), would have personally ordered the Florida Highway Patrol, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, or even the Florida National Guard to descend upon that so-called ‘hospice’ where Terri was being held against her family’s will, even leading the troops himself if need be, and rescued that woman from a most excruciating death.

Her blood is ultimately on the hands of her despicable and vile ex-’husband’ Michael Schiavo, George W. Greer, the legally blind probate judge that rubber stamped everything Michael Schiavo’s lawyers demanded, and Jeb Bush, who had the power to stop it, but did nothing.

And that lack of standing up has nothing to do with his family values? After all it wee his grandfather Prescott who was a founder of PP (treasurer) and agreed with Sangors philosophy to eliminate the unfit including people with darker skin

You are absolutely correct, the Bush family has a long history of being affiliated with such dark and devious causes, be it Planned Parenthood and the eugenicist views of it’s founder Margaret Sanger, or the German Nazi industrialists who Prescott Bush had no problem doing business with.

The fact is, the current fascist government organizations known as the Germanic-sounding “Department of Homeland Security” and it’s vile little offspring, the “Transportation Security Administration” (aka “The Sanduskying of America”) were creations of GWB’s administration, and no matter whether the intentions and motives were pure, GWB created the tools of oppression which Emperor Barky has been using with abandon over the past 6+ years.

It goes without saying (I hope!) that there will be “No More Obamas” because Americans cannot possibly be that stupid again, but once again the message has to be hammered home, “No More Bushes” and “No More Clintons”, we’re a REPUBLIC not a monarchy, and the political elites have got to GO!

Donald Trump has now done more for conservatives in two months than William F. Buckley did in a lifetime.

I would love to see what WFB's reaction would be if he were alive today. My guess he would have some quip ( that was also funny ) about Trump that would catch our attention and either kick him out like the Bircher's or would he try to direct or mentor him....

So, what is Trumps vendetta against the Bush’s. Seriously, Jeb is not even close to being a front-runner no matter how hard the GOP and media try and help him.....so why even bother unless there is more here?

¡Yeb! would be the front-runner if Trump were not in this.
He’s still the choice of the party apparatus and The Cheap Labor Express with the biggest warchest and the support of The Ministry Of Propaganda.

Oh, this is gonna be a fun ride. Go Donald Takin’ it to the streets. Bets on how long until seeing Jib Jeb’s lower lip begin to tremble? Wonder of Dr. C.K. will be making bets of his own. Where there’s a “will” there’s a way,

Trump is a man of action. For decades, we've had conservative men of words but very little action. Trump may not be "as" conservative as other candidates but he's doing more with the conservatism he does have than all the other candidates combined.

Like Trump said, these politicians are all talk and no action.
