Jeb Bush calls on Republicans to challenge Trump

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush says Donald Trump should face a Republican primary challenge in 2020.

Bush, who ran for president in 2016, told CNN the party “ought to be a given a choice.”

“I think someone should run. Just because Republicans ought to be given a choice,” he said. “To have a conversation about what it is to be a conservative I think is important...And our country needs to have competing ideologies that people -- that are dynamic, that focus on the world we’re in and the world we’re moving towards rather than revert back to a nostalgic time.”

But Bush acknowledged it would be difficult for anyone to defeat Trump because “he has a strong, loyal base” and “it’s hard to beat a sitting president.”

The comments were made in excerpts released by CNN of an interview on The Axe Files, set to air in full Saturday.

Senate Judiciary Committee chair Lindsey Graham is asking for all documents and communications related to discussions about removing Donald Trump from office under the 25th amendment.

Graham made the request in a letter Friday to Attorney General William Barr, the Washington Post reported.

Top law enforcement officials discussed using the 25th amendment, which allows a president to be removed if he is unfit to perform his duties, former FBI acting director Andrew McCabe has said.

Graham wrote that he would investigate “what amounts to a coup,” according to the Post.

Beto O’Rourke belonged to the oldest group of computer hackers in US history when he was a teenager, he told Reuters in a new interview.

O’Rourke was part of Cult of the Dead Cow, which released tools that allowed ordinary people to hack Windows computers, and coined the term “hacktivism.”

It’s pathetic to hear this nonsense from a guy who was supposed to be the GOP frontrunner in 2016 but turned out to be less popular than a child molester among Republican primary voters.

Trump ran against

16 Republicans,

the Republican party,

the Democrat party,

corrupt FBI agents,

human filth in 'intelligence',

an established deep state,

the House,

the Senate,

and a DOJ running a coup.

And Trump won.

I think that's enough Jeb...

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree of his JFK-assassination-complicit and RWR-attempted-assassination-complicit daddy, Curious George Scherf.

And that apple didn't fall far from his granddaddy Sheldon's, with that apple funding the Nazis before and during World War II. On the same hand, that in part provided for the tremendously successful (cough, cough!), made-legal "caravan" of Operation Paperclip so we could have Nazis that would form the core of the current NACA NASA, CIA and Deep State.

With that, it's pretty easy to see how GHWB cut his teeth as CIA Director and long-term Shadow President until 11-30-2018

(11x3*.=33 (2*18 = 11), forward or backward it's 11311.)

Jeb Bush The Loser, “because Republicans ought to be given a choice”.

Voters had 17 candidates to choose from, but did not care about Bush bi-lingualism.

Chamber of Commerce Rinos have money only, but are clueless what voters want. They do not want you, so spend away.

The Bush Dynasty has dropped from revered to despised in a rather brief period of time.
