Jeb Bush is spending hours in sessions from Florida to Maine preparing policy answers for Thursday’s first Republican debate — but he is also being mindful to avert any display of disdain for the man he will stand beside, Donald J. Trump, who has infuriated Mr. Bush by criticizing Mexican immigrants. (Mr. Bush is married to one.)

Oh, is Jeb's wife an illegal? Must be because otherwise this would be a lie.

What part of “illegal” is so tough for an NYT writer to understand? Or say/write? Is the writer contending that Jeb Bush’s wife and illegal?

"...Donald J. Trump, who has infuriated Mr. Bush by criticizing [illegal] Mexican immigrants."

If these clowns were candidates who belonged there, they wouldn’t have to spend time learning what they believe in and how they’d respond to someone who questioned their agenda.

Mr. Trump must be laughing his ass off!

I’m sure he read this article.

Good grief, what a bunch of pansies.

You know who Romney used for his debate couch? That RINO wimp, big-time bore from Ohio, Senator Rob Portman...who couldn’t debate his way out of a paper bag.

I imagine Jeb’s got someone just like him helping hone his debating skills.

Rockefeller Republicans, playing defence again.

Hasn’t the defeat of every Republican who played defence taught them anything?

They can “practice” against someone taking Trumps place all they want.
It is a whole ‘nother matter to face Trump himself.

It’s like preparing to box Mike Tyson (in his prime) by training with someone who couldn’t get into the ring with Tyson himself.

Better to have your own vision honed down to 45 second answers the public relates to.
Play offense.

I’m sure that is what debate *champion* Ted Cruz is doing.

The wife and I will be watching the debate first to hear Cruz and secondly hoping to see Trump or Cruz run ¿jebush? off the stage.
