Jeb Bush Uncensored: Donald Trump Is An 'A**hole'
Source: TPM
Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush has largely refrained from publicly engaging with real estate mogul Donald Trump over the course of the 2016 presidential race. But in private, the former Florida governor reportedly has some choice words for his primary rival.
Citing several anonymous sources close to Bush, Politico reported Thursday that Bush unloaded on the billionaire in a recent conversation with a GOP donor.
Seriously, whats this guys problem? Bush reportedly told the donor, adding that he thought Trump was a buffoon, a clown and an asshole.
Bush, whose wife, Columba, was born in Mexico, previously conceded to The New York Times that he took Trump's virulent attacks on immigrants crossing the U.S. border with Mexico "personally." He further accused Trump of trying to "inflame and incite and to draw attention" to his fledgling campaign.

Okay then.

He wont focus on pushing religion into the classroom or punishing women who happen to work for the wrong religious company.
In no way would I want Trump as president, and even as Wall Street would flourish and we would suffer under him, I think
wait....
who am I comparing him to? Bush?
Same exact thing now that I think of it.
However, Bush would be more willing to sell you out before Trump would, maybe?
So yes he is a buffoon and an ass, Jeb, but your whole family are asses and thieves and criminals.
So I have an idea, shut the hell up.

(60,536 posts)Wisconsins doing terribly. Its in turmoil. The roads are a disaster because they dont have any money to rebuild them. Theyre borrowing money like crazy. They projected a $1 billion surplus, and it turns out to be a deficit of $2.2 billion. The schools are a disaster. The hospitals and education was a disaster. And he was totally in favor of Common Core!
And in a June interview with Bloomberg Politics Trump said that Walkers got a lot of problems in Wisconsin. You know, Wisconsins got tremendous problems the debt and the difficult problems that they have going on Wisconsin. Tremendous borrowings.

(13,029 posts)Not a one of these clowns has the slightest interest in doing the actual work of governing. The job is just an avenue to greater wealth and power for them and their cronies, or for some of them, a way to impose their right-wing fundy doctrines on the whole country.

I hope they put Trump and Christie right next to each other and close up on the sweaty face hankies for Christie cheat sheet notes. He's not as good live as Trump is, he may have to use notes to remember what to say.

(9,426 posts)Jeb! was raised to be an asshole, look at his brothers. Not a true, fine upstanding MAN in that group. His father, whom Jeb! calls "perfect" had one woman who travelled all over the world with him, sharing hotel rooms, Jennifer Fitzgerld. Google her. Poppy wanted to divorce Babs, until he was told no divorced man would ever be president, so he backed off. When he ran for the WH someone suggested he elect a womman as his VP. The congresswoman from Colorado, Kay Schroeder (?) said "But they STILL need a MAN on the ticket"! GHW had a reputation as a wimp. Jeb! defends his wife against the slurs, but he has had his share of other women, too. Fine upstanding citizens, those Bush crooks.

Go ahead, Jebbie. Try and convince us that Trump is the first member of your party to say hideous, racist things. Try and tell me you don't hear that stuff every damn day from your cronies and staffers.
Stop trying to use your wife as a human shield against the GOP and your abysmal record with regard to minority citizens.

(764 posts)Their heads are exploding because they have bought what Trumps selling because hatred feels right for some people. However after they make their decision, based on hatred, they have to twist any additional information they hear to match up with their beliefs and sometimes the difference is so extreme and there is so much effort required to twist the facts their heads explode. Or they just give up and watch Fox news for all their news and let the talking heads twist those facts for them. FAUX news is soooo much easier....

Since I can't count on those Bushies saving my ass twice and since I really would rather not serve at another Bush's pleasure anyway and since I don't carry enough weight to force Bush out of the picture,the only way left is political maneuvering which happens to be an area of expertise I own by entitlement. You might say it's a different form of the rhythm method I mentioned as seen on TV but more of a cluster f-ck by trade.
Folks as you know those Bush's are members of party elite -in bed with them it could be said in a manner of speaking .
And what Bush said about My pal Trump is an expression of total ill respect completely disrespectfully articulated aimed from the dark side at a presumed dark horse who is known around the race track as The Donald.
Now the GOP by one of it's bed fellows has openly and admittedly come out disrespectfully after having been warned by the Donald what can or will happen if he is not treated with great respect.
And make no mistake there is no hug ability left in me for the Bush brothers.
And Jeb Bush may end up facing the wrath of what could seem to be a wild plow horse on the lose seeking vengeance.
And if he goes after Walker in the same secession ,that will move me up .
As to those teachers, damn the torpedoes,full speed ahead .

(3,426 posts)At the moment i'm tied up in the wrap as you may well know so I'm sending my picture in full battle dress .
The Donald apparently forwarded a declaration of secession clearly indicating he is fully prepared to secede the GOP because As I said he was disrespected by a member of the party elite. And since I'm in to win or strike a cozy deal to save my own ass I'll just tell you Jeb Bush owns the problem.Frankly I wouldn't mind playing 4th. or 5th. hell too or even 9th.in the bating order in a Trump administration. As the saying goes if you can't make top banana the least you can do for yourself is join the bunch.
The rest of the debate was all about me and I really socked to Paulee.
I think for the most part in it Trump pulled out the trump card and the rest is to fallow.
Damn the torpedoes folks ,full speed ahead.
