Trump, during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program, also opposed what he called “further gun restrictions” following this week’s murders of two broadcast news journalists in Virginia.

“The fact is, it’s not the (gun) laws,” Trump said. “You have a tremendous problem with crime. You have a tremendous problem with mental health. And in this case it was pure mental health.”

Trump, the real estate mogul turned reality show star, is polling at an average of 27.3 percent, according to Huffington Post’s Pollster report. Bush is at 8.7 percent.

Trump answered: “Well, I don’t want to be nasty … but I will tell you that if you look at the polls, he’s not really second anymore. He’s fourth and fifth in a lot of the polls.

I get a distinct impression that The Donald or one of his aides is a daily reader of this site.

Either Rush or Steyn this week, said Jeb is much more energetic when giving a speech in Spanish.

I hope such is the case as he would not only find some support but some additional pearls of societal thinking.
