REPUBLICAN CIVIL WAR: BUSH SAYS TRUMP 'BAFFOON' A 'CLOWN' AN '***HOLE'

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/08/gop-2016-debate-jeb-bush-donald-trump-121076.html#.VcNyqktq5SE

The half-dozen conservative senators and governors who had planned to run before Bush brought out his shock-and-awe fundraising campaign, had to laugh: They viewed Bush himself as an intruder, a political semi-retiree who sat on the sidelines for eight years while they fought Barack Obama. Now it was Bush’s turn to rage at an outsider.

“Seriously, what’s this guy’s problem?” he asked one party donor he ran into recently according to accounts provided by several sources close to Bush—and he went on to describe the publicity seeking real estate developer now surging in public polls far ahead of Bush and all the 15 others in the Republican field as “a buffoon,” “clown” and “***hole.”

I look at that picture and only one word pops into my mind: “How?”

(I guess if I weren’t so cynical, that one word would be “love”, but really? Really?!)

Don't like either, so go at it boys. They both have been pro abortion, pro immigration....if they can change once, they can do it again. With Isis, Iran, Russia, and other dangers, we need someone well grounded and with clear recognition of evil and willing to fight it. Too many politicians are afraid or ashamed to be called a conservative Christian. They worry about what people or rather voters will think. Do the right thing whether it's popular or not, then you know God will be on your side. No one else is more important

This is said by the unknown donor not Bush.

Not that I care as I'm not a JEB fan, nor ever, ever have been nor ever will be in the future, but if you look at the story, even though the headline or title line, those words come from a donor.

2) If they can get into a substantive policy debate and show Trump for the political newbie he is

Considering the detail in Trump's book, being re-released with updates today, I think you are probably underestimating just how substantive Trump really is.

The only person The Jebster should be expressing his Personal Opinion of Trump to is his Wife.

In this world of gotcha Politics, he should have known better, but he is obtuse.

He was a Governor for eight years and he still makes this stupid mistake, especially being a Republican who does not possess the Democrat Cloak of Flubber.

Just makes The Jebster look like a whiner, sad but not surprising. He is playing into the Liberal Media’s hands.

"I’m filing this under things JEB! will never say about Hillary or any other democrat."

Winner!

'Waryone' has clearly identified the quickest possible death blow for the Bush45 campaign, right there, in a single short sentence.

At the debate, or even on the campaign trail in front of maximum cameras all Trump has to do is say:

"I demand that Jeb Bush to use that same language against his alleged enemy and call Hillary Clinton and the other (D)emocrats 'a Buffoon, a Clown and an Asshole'. Prove whose side you are on Jeb. If he refuses then I demand he quit the presidential race or immediately join the (D)emocrat party where he actually belongs."

That would win it all right there, campaign over, and go down in history as one of the great responses ever.

Jeb Bush is for amnesty for illegals, commoncore and believes in man made global warming etc. Jeb is to the left of most Americans and is a democrat really.

So Jeb Bush a liar and deceiver claiming he's not democrat. if you poll most registered Republican voters they are against all of these positions. so it's pure evil of this cretin to run as representing Republican voters that disagree with all of his positions.

But he news media which creates the false reality we live in hides all these leftist positions Jeb Bush has and says he is a moderate Republican which is a lie. he's a leftist stooge as his stated positions show.

The question I don't see answered is " Is this an accurate translation to English of jebito's comments?"

Trump has to be careful in that regard. When did Trump stop donating to Dems?

I'm not sure why this continues to be repeated. From 1989 to 2012, Trump donated almost equally to both Republicans and Democrats. Republicans was something like 490 thousand, and Dems something like 540, 550, 560, I can't remember. Not a huge difference. It's not like Trump was donating everything to Hillary Clinton. After that, Trump donated something around 400 to 500 thousand to Republicans, with just 1 or 2 thousand to Dems.

The Bushes are d****-bags. ALL of them. The RINO clan who helped torpedo 8 years of succesful Reaganism.

Somebody in the press is trying to goad Trump into an intemperate public reaction, based on second hand reports.
