A day after his campaign slashed staff and salaries to retrench ahead of the Iowa caucuses, Jeb Bush decried the toxic tone of the presidential race and suggesting that “demonizing” people isn’t what he signed up for in this campaign.

Mr. Bush made the remarks at a town hall in South Carolina, where, according to a report by CNN, he seemed fired up about taking on the person who has overshadowed him during the campaign, Donald J. Trump, who is leading most Republican polls so far.

“If this election is about how we’re going to fight to get nothing done,” Mr. Bush said, then “I don’t want any part of it. I don’t want to be elected president to sit around and see gridlock just become so dominant that people literally are in decline in their lives. That is not my motivation.”

He added, “I’ve got a lot of really cool things I could do other than sit around, being miserable, listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them. That is a joke. Elect Trump if you want that.”

Bye, Jeb.

With Blair appologizing 12 years later for he and W Bush causing Isis and Fing up the Middle East, I think toxic tone is the least of Bush’s problems running.

toxic tone? Was the tone in spanish?

Trump has this nailed. Why should people care about “tone” when they are getting screwed?

Wasn't that the compassionate war? I wonder if our dead and all those maimed and ripped up laying in hospital beds would agree with that Bush term.

Wow, trump has flushed another loser down the drain. Thank you mr trump. If jeb said all that then he is definetly quiting.

[hoosierham]

Waaah!

[KGeorge]

So it *is* for real. wow All I can figure is the Bush family told him he didn’t have a chance & he’s having a teenage type emo fit. It’s really embarrassing to witness. This poor man is seriously addlepated.

[LongWayHome]

The clip showing Jeb saying this is priceless....you can see the rage. He knows that he’s finished. The idiot runs in a GOP primary on common core & limitless immigration; and he expected that the base was going to like this.
