Jeb Bush sets aside his 'joyful tortoise' persona to go after Donald Trump
LA Times ^ | 9/4/15 | SEEMA MEHTA

Posted on 09/04/2015 5:57:07 AM PDT by jimbo123

Thee self-described “joyful tortoise” in the race for the GOP presidential nomination is more angry than happy these days.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who promised an optimistic campaign focused on his record rather than attacks on his rivals, has departed from that approach and begun to forcefully confront front-runner Donald Trump.

Just this week, Bush’s campaign released a video and an online quiz targeted at Trump supporters that played up Trump’s past support for abortion rights, universal healthcare and Democratic candidates, including front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton. He also got personal, going after Trump’s well-known phobia of germs.

Face it, Jeb. The electorate is done with playing in the Bush/Clinton/Boehner/McConnell/GOPe/demonrat sandbox. Trump may not be the man, but he is willing to throw bombs at you and yours. That’s good enough for now.

He was anything but joyful, or slow. He and his cronies set about to lock up all the big, big GOP-esque donors even before he announced. He intended to lock all the other also-rans out of the contest by starving them out.

He and his ghouls erred in the hatred and disgust betrayed conservatives feel for GOP establishment (after having been stabbed in the back so many times it isn’t funny).

He’s a Mexican at heart, has no compassion for real Americans. He only wants to be that third Bush President, and he will give away our sovereignty, our honor, our freedoms, our money and our ability to protect ourselves to get it. He is contemptibly despicable, IMO.

There is a definite REASON why you never see anyone here come right and say “I’m for Bush.” Not one that I’ve seen.

He was really joyful when he was calling conservatives intolerant and backward a year or so ago.

This kind of petty stuff will only make Jeb look bad; it is NOT presidential! Speaking Spanish while on the political trail in the United States is also not very presidential. Jeb is going in the wrong direction!

Ahhh....the memories a Bush/Clinton retro-2016 calls home. Could this be our long overdue cathartic election season?

The “joyful tortoise” is going to dredge up a superfund site full of toxic Poppy and Dubya bad memories history might have otherwise been left undisturbed.

Hilly, too, is a walking, talking Clintonian toxic spill just looking for a place to park and breach.

Yikes...this could get messy. I wonder where I can find some cheap, used but not-too-stinky, military-grade chem-gear before election day.

Bush supporters are here. They are just laying low.
Afraid to come out of the shadows.

Yes...I know, but they are cowards, really. They are what I’d call the “concern trolls” who try to appeal to your “team GOPe” win.

They’re waiting for him to get the nomination so they can say “we gotta hold our nose just one more time and take it up the keester for Team GOPe because the alternative is a smidgeon more evil.”

They are disgusting. Not me, not ever. No way. Never again. Raped once is enough.
