Bush Breaks the Rules, Trump Breaks His Back

This weekend illustrates why Trump (or somebody like him) could be president.

The second rule of pres­id­en­tial polit­ics is nev­er tell voters you’ve got something bet­ter to do.

Jeb Bush on Sat­urday: “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.”

The third rule of pres­id­en­tial polit­ics is nev­er tell voters to vote for some­body else.

Jeb Bush: “That is a joke. Elect Trump if you want that.”

The fourth rule of pres­id­en­tial polit­ics is polit­ics today sucks. Deal with it.

Jeb Bush: “If this elec­tion is about how we’re go­ing to fight to get noth­ing done, 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.”

The scion of a very polit­ic­al fam­ily broke all the rules Sat­urday, in­clud­ing the one about nev­er sur­ren­der­ing to a bully. A bully smells blood.

“Bush has no money,” Don­ald Trump, the bil­lion­aire celebrity TV star and GOP pres­id­en­tial front-run­ner, said Sunday. “He’s meet­ing today with mommy and daddy, and they’re work­ing on his cam­paign.”

“He’s a guy wants to run our coun­try and he can’t even run his own cam­paign,” Trump told a rally in Bush’s home state of Flor­ida. “Think of it!”

>>you people in Fla want him in your state,

Was that attack on the people of Florida really necessary to get your point across? He was a good governor. Floridians know that he would be a bad president. The polls show that and the attendance at Trump rallies this weekend proves it.

Jeb didn't go to Yale like his father and brother. He couldn't get in even with his father's legacy and having gone to prep school at Andover.

He doesn't seem too bright.

.....Jeb's been hearing his family speak of conservatives behind our backs for years, then the Family IDIOT blurts it out on the campaign trail. Jeb's Freudian slip must be the way the Bushes speak and laugh at conservatives behind our backs....the Bushes stupidly think "we have the Republican vote; those idiots really don't know who we are".....

Great insight...needs a repeat.

They’ll NEVER get it. THIS IS WAR NOW! Close the **** Border or there will be blood!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump mocked former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in his own state on Saturday, saying recent campaign cuts show he’s not ready to be president.

“Here’s a guy who wants to run our country, and he can’t even run his own campaign. And you know what? He’s cutting back big,” Trump told a raucous crowd of thousands gathered along the riverfront of one of Florida’s most conservative cities.

Jebby boy proves he is Lover not a Fighter, why can’t we all just get along.

Even the criminal illegal alien invaders won’t donate to his campaign, they too are “Lovers” they love to take and loathe to give.

[Covenantor]

Jeb....loser..Marco Rubio “hates the senate” wont seek another term....loser

Makes all that earlier concerned buzz, "OMG, two Florida residents means we can't have a Bush/Rubio ticket!", rather a moot point. Although, I suspect the building of the new ¡Jeb "cottage" in the Bush Kennebunkport compound was a pre-emptive effort to forestall that possible outcome.

Oh heck...why let it be said and not shown?

LOL!

[Lee'sGhost]

I like it.

Translation: I’m taking my marbles and going home!

[HarleyLady27]

Nope not an attack, but that is where he lives...they want him there, fine, I don’t want him any where around the White House, or his nose in any type of government to undo what this Great Nation needs to heal herself...

If I offended anyone in Fla. sorry, but he’s in your state...chain him up or send him to Mexico....

Jeb Bush merely articulated the Republican attitude. The anointed ones, those who the RNC nominates, do not want to be President. They do desire the great honor of Nomination by the Republican Party but do not care to actually be President. It’s a hassle they feel they really don’t need. That is why they run so poorly or, like McCain and Bush I, don’t really run at all.

[annieokie]

I believe there is something to this thought. The other Bush's just did not realize the depth of JEB's derangement, dyslexia or whatever mental illness he has and they have been able to cover for him.

I have a picture of the family (mom, pop and Geo.W.) having a conversation, JEB tries to chime in and the others say "not now JEB, go play outside, go away". Intellectually neglected. Because they KNEW he was simple?

BTW: the quote you posted seems to be reworded a tad, but still has the message.

[basil]

Thank you, Jeff—I’m not as technically advanced as you—LOL!

[tflabo]

JEB.....Just Exit Bush

[arthurus]

The Party can still nominate Bush if he does nothing more without officially dropping out. I won't believe he is not the Nominee unless and until he announces he is dropping out. Then I will keep my fingers crossed that there is not a "draft." Rubio is not ready for that next-in-line spot and the Party is not ready for him to be next-in-line. Christy hasn't been in there long enough. Kasich's job has been to be a stalking horse for Bush and hasn't earned his Party bones yet. Lindsey is a joke, even to the Gope.
That leaves Fiorina or Carson.
Fiorina is a woman and the gopes really are conservative in that they don't feel right about changing things that have actually changed already i.e. nominating a woman. Carson is more compatible than he sounds with his immigration and drug war views. If Bush actually drops out and tells Gope secretly (it's not real if it is public, only a tactic) that he is not going to do it, I expect the Gope will get behind Carson, reluctantly at first because he would be another tradition break, as the one to stop Trump.

I hope to get some feedback on all that. What do yall think?

[arthurus]

how dirty he is
how much like a Bush he is

[Liz]

Your insights...for me...also underscore that they (liberals, as well) are
afraid of conservatives....b/c we don't accept the political BS at face value.

Conservatives are independent critical thinkers....

We decipher the political BS faster than they can speak it.

[lonestar]

I don’t get that...Jeb didn’t go to Yale.

[HarleyLady27]

he?
