The man who ran a super-PAC backing Jeb Bush's unsuccessful White House run says electing Donald Trump as president would be "like putting a chimp in the driver’s seat of a tractor."

"He doesn’t understand the presidency," Mike Murphy said in a Weekly Standard interview published Monday.

Mike Murphy....who spent $140 million to get 3%.



•Mike Murphy to teach college seminars on the White House race

•Super PAC consultant who spent $100 million on Jeb Bush is unapologetic

•Jeb Bush bundler: Mike Murphy will make a "minimum of $14 million" from this year's campaign

So his guy wasn’t up to the task of beating a tractor driving chimp?

The chimp driving the tractor ran over Bush...several times.

If JEB! was stupid enough to pay this guy $15M or so, wouldn’t a chimp driving a tractor be a step up?

Lol. Good post.

[traderrob6]

Kinda funny actually.

[Obadiah]

Well that’s ironic, considering that the Leftwing nuts referred to W as “chimpy”. Think underneath the surface there’s a connection here?

LOL! Someone doesn’t understand how to RUN for the Presidency.

Anybody got $140Million to spare?

Mike Murphy is the chimp that is screeching and flinging his feces at the chimp that gets to drive the tractor.

Boy, if there's one thing that Trump has done, it has completely rewritten the rules of campaigning.

All these GOPe consultants, strategists, and donors are going to go the way of the whistle stop train.

"He doesn’t understand the presidency"

Ain't it wonderful to watch a pompous idiot eat crow?

Why would he want to go there? Must be a DUmmy or something.

ROFL.. good one!

[Travis McGee]

Real GOPe genius.

If we’re devolving into simians, Trump is simply the monkey-wrench in the dysfunctional GOPe machine.
