The Washington Post's PostPolitics ^ | November 16, 2015 | Ed O'Keefe

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush said Monday night that GOP front-runner Donald Trump "will be in decline" the next time they meet for a debate in mid-December.

Speaking at a closed-door fundraiser in Dallas, Bush also accused some Republican presidential contenders of being "in the witness protection program" when it comes to immigration reform, because they have backed off their previous positions on the issue. He suggested that revamping American immigration laws might help avoid the kind of terrorist attacks that struck Paris last week.

Bush spoke at the Dallas home of Amy and Malone Mitchell, who are members of the campaign's "Texas Leadership Committee." An audio recording of the event was provided to The Washington Post by someone in attendance, who asked for anonymity out of concern for potential retribution....

Bush himself. Have you heard him talking about what a "loving" act invading our country is lately?

I would not vote for this nincompoop even if someone offered me a pile of money to do so.

Makes perfect sense. If we had the immigration laws Yeb wants, all the Paris terrorists would have been in the United States.

Jeb says “you have to enforce the laws properly” to get a good result. I’m gonna assume he and I don’t agree on what enforce laws properly means.

Jeb or Hillary? What difference does it make?

He doesn't need witness protection. He needs to sign up for a NASA one-way trip to Mars with a mooselimb.

Jeb is an expert on being in decline.

I hope Jeb is so low in the polls he isn't invited to participate in the next debate.

If Trump does not respond to this by saying Yeb will still be in denial, I’ll be sorely disappointed.

The winner is going to be somebody who's tall."

What a bizarre thing for tippietoes to say. Seriously the man is now holding rallies in VFW meeting rooms while Mr Trump is STILL filling stadiums

The oddest revelation is that Bush the Lesser expects Muslim invaders and Reconquista Hispanics to assimilate if they are just given enough love and government handouts.

He’s not just a limp handshake, he’s dangerously delusional.

This one time I agree with Al Sharpton when he says, “Stay outta da Bushes.”

Señor Yeb Arbusto sounds like he is about due for some rehab at the Betty Ford Clinic.

“You have to enforce laws properly. . .”

If Jeb’s father and brother had strictly enforced the existing immigration laws when in office perhaps we wouldn’t be in the current situation. We don’t need a new law. We need to enforce the existing law.

If Bush loves the illegals so much he should just move to Mexico.

...

Revamping? Nobody in his elite circle enforces immigration law, so a lot of good that will do.

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are the ONLY ONES anywhere, saying America needs to enforce our borders.

For an entire generation we have sold out. Both parties. Every candidate. Everywhere.

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are standing up. They are all alone standing up.

But they have A WHOLE LOT of supporters, and they’ll do well this election.

Very well. Bush is part of the group which sold out our country.

His brother was as well. While I agree with much of what the two Bushes did, I strongly oppose their complete sell-out of American businesses (which continued every single administration in both parties, now for one entire generation)

Bush is part of that sell-out. A big part.

It is time to start bringing back jobs to America.

For Americans.
