How Trump Makes Jeb Bush Seem Like a Wimp

The Republican frontrunner has offered Bush the perfect chance to display some passion—but he’s declined to take it.

Donald Trump has gotten a boost in his efforts to maul Jeb Bush in recent days from an unexpected source: Jeb Bush himself.

Trump’s attack on Jeb isn’t mostly about issues. As with most things Trump, it’s mostly about persona. The Donald thinks Jeb is a dud. “He’s a man that doesn’t want to be doing what he’s doing,” Trump said in June. “I call him the reluctant warrior, and warrior’s probably not a good word. I think Bush is an unhappy person. I don’t think he has any energy.”

Over the last week, Jeb has proven Trump right. Trump, and his supporters, continue to demonize Mexican American illegal immigrants. On Tuesday, Trump threw the most popular Spanish-language broadcaster in America out of a press conference. That same day, Ann Coulter warmed up for Trump in Iowa by offering gruesome details of murders by Mexican “illegals,” and suggesting that once Trump builds his wall along America’s southern border, tourists can come watch the “live drone shows.”

This kind of thing likely enrages Jeb. He is, after all, married to a Mexican American immigrant. He speaks fluent Spanish. He calls his children Hispanic. He’s called himself Hispanic. He describes himself as “immersed in the immigrant experience.” When parents choose to enter the United States illegally because “their children didn’t have food on the table,” in their home country, Jeb said last year, “It’s an act of love. It’s an act of commitment to your family.

Think about this... if God-Emperor Trump didn’t run, this wimpy cuck would’ve been the GOP nominee. And Crooked Cankles would be President, with BlackLivesMatter sacking suburbs with the protection of the Cankles Justice Dept!
