Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio Face an Evangelical Test Uninvited Donald Trump Crashes Koch Retreat in Spirit Survivor of Deadly Circus Tent Collapse Recalls Horror NBC News Is Trump Right? Here's What Obama Has Done for Blacks NBC News First Gay Couple Married at West Point Attacked in NYC NBC News Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush was trying to defuse Democratic criticism of defunding Planned Parenthood Tuesday when he accidentally opened up a new line of attack.
During an interview at a conference of Southern Baptists, Bush called for defunding Planned Parenthood, then tried to counter the expected Democratic arguments against it by suggesting the money could be redirected to other community health organizations.
But mid-thought, he stopped to muse that the federal government might not need to spend as much as it does.
“The argument against this is … it is a war on women and you are attacking women’s health issues,” he said. “You could take dollar for dollar—although I’m not sure we need a half a billion dollars for women’s health issues—but if you took dollar for dollar, there are many extraordinarily fine organizations, community health organizations that exist.”

Proving she would own his happy @$$ in a campaign.
Hillary debates Jeb....Jeb apologizes then agrees with Hillary
Bush is definitely a political "submissive."
Jeb has proven that, apparently, not everyone in the Republican field has learned from Donald Trump’s example. Whatever your feelings about Trump may be, at least he stands by what he has said, doesn’t back down, doesn’t beg for forgiveness, and hits his critics back. Jeb, on the other hand, is following the standard operating procedure that Republicans have been following for decades: “I misspoke....I’m sorry...please, please forgive me....I promise I won’t do it again.”
Typical.
Jeb is too ordinary for words.
He is without question one of the least bright contenders in the race and it’s noticeable.
Rings true.
Fox News host compares Donald Trump to a ‘pit bull,’ Jeb Bush to a ‘metrosexual purse dog’
Until Americans stop demanding freedom on the one hand and government nanny-care on the other, we will never be all we could be. Freedom to choose requires the chooser be responsible for the consequences. The left thinks people should get to choose all the immorality they want to choose and that the rest of the country should have to fund the consequences. If it is none of my business what a woman does with her own body, why is it my business to fund the care and recovery of the consequences of what she does with her own body?

Yep.
Generally, those not in politics (Trump, Fiorina, Carson) outshine the professional pols by quite a bit. Cruz of course is smart, as is Jindal. But really, Jeb almost makes Perry look smart.
This is a prime example of why many people are supporting Trump. I am so tired of Republicans groveling and apologizing over every little thing. They never fight back & want to be “friends” with Democrats. I have had it with these feckless wimps. I plan on voting for Cruz but will gladly support Trump if he is the nominee. I love Trump’s “Scorched Earth” policy:)
