Did Jeb Bush Steal His Trump Attack From 'House of Cards'?
Breitbart ^ | 16 Sep 2015 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 09/17/2015 12:03:02 PM PDT by Red Steel

Bush confronted Trump in Wednesday night’s CNN debate, asking Trump to apologize for previously suggesting that Bush is more sympathetic to Mexico by virtue of the fact that Bush’s wife is Mexican-American.

Bush even pointed his wife out in the crowd and asked Trump to apologize. Trump responded that he understands Bush’s wife Columba is a lovely person.

The exchange was strikingly similar to another CNN debate that occurred on the Netflix...

Jeb Bush is familiar with the show “House of Cards,” according to a series of tweets that he exchanged in July with the fictional character Frank Underwood’s House of Cards Twitter account.

Underwood asked for an apology for his wife, according to a transcript of Season 1, Episode 6 of “House of Cards.”

I'm sure Columbo is a nice person.

But does Columbo espeak the English?

He claims to be bi-cultural!

I noticed The Donald did not apologize.

Trump said Jebbie’s wife is Mexican.

He didn’t malign her character, her reputation or her looks.

He said she was Mexican.

Which is a fact.

The language one speaks is more than important culturally. Language is a tool of thought and it guides thought. In early stages of brain development the language learned actually influences the way the brain develops. In these ways language binds a culture in a more pervasive way than we usually suppose. I have noticed sometimes on boxes there will be a small instruction in English that is about three times longer in the French or Spanish translation of the same information. Maybe part of Bush’s inability to get traction is related not only to the “in Spanish” signs and so forth, but also to his diluted ability to communicate in English because of being used to Spanish.
