Days after going toe-to-toe with Donald Trump on the debate stage, Jeb Bush seemed to relish his new role as the Republican front-runner's chief critic while campaigning on Saturday in New Hampshire.
"I've got to get this off my chest: Donald Trump is a jerk," Bush said, unprompted, between answering two voters' questions. Then he slammed the billionaire businessman for insulting women, Hispanics and people with disabilities during the campaign.
"Who is he kidding?" Bush asked the crowd. "I gave myself therapy there. Thank you for allowing me to do it," he admitted, half-jokingly.
Bush's frustrations with Trump are not surprising. Once considered the establishment favorite for the party's nomination, Bush's policy-heavy campaign has been sagging for months and failing to break into the double digits in preference polls. Trump, by comparison, continues to dominate the field, seemingly becoming stronger with each new, inflammatory statement he makes, the latest calling to ban Muslims from entering the country.

Lol...PERFECT!
Yeb and the Witch are really similar politicians. Each is totally establishment, and feels completely entitled, to the extent of not even accepting the legitimacy of any opponent. That’s made Yeb incredibly vulnerable to Trump’s getting totally into his head and messing him up. The Witch is even more sheltered and personally brittle, a brittleness that includes marginal health,at best. In short, she’s a sitting duck for Trump getting into her head and totally messing her up.
always love seeing this- shows what a loser he is
I would contend his political career is over.
Wow, he finally found two voters to attend his rally.
Obama is a jerk. Trump is tough. Bush is a total baby that gets his little feelings hurt. He would never be able to stand up to the evil democrats. They would totally control him.
Why are you yelling? You mad?
Wonder if they met capacity for that classroom they were in.
Looks like Bush is taking the old “if you can’t beat them join them” advice.
Politicians are not supposed to be classy.
He suffers from effluenza.
Maybe Heb has Alzheimer’s and is reverting back to his childhood years by recalling playground taunts.”
Actually I think that “jerk” was more commonly used by girls and women to characterize a guy, maybe it is something that a weenie like Bush often used against those who were more manly and/or better at sports.
“Trump may be a jerk, but Bush is a clueless boob...”
or Clueless Rock!
Yeah, he is. GWB and Romney are very nice people, too. Paul Ryan seems nice. Where the hell did these nice people get us, Jeb?
Was Jebbeleh looking in a mirror when he said that remark?
Men never say a sentence with the word therapy in it.
