Jeb Bush believes a Republican should challenge President Trump for the nomination in 2020 — slamming the president's "dangerous" policies on trade and other issues.
In the latest salvo between the two former rivals, Bush, who ran unsuccessfully for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016, made the comments Saturday during an interview with ex-Obama adviser David Axelrod.
Bush, whose father George. H.W. Bush was the 41st president of the United States and his brother, George W. Bush, was the 43rd, reportedly added that Republican voters should be given more of a choice between different ideologies.
"And our country needs to have competing ideologies that people -- that are dynamic, that focus on the world we're in and the world we're moving toward rather than revert back to a nostalgic time," he said on CNN, seeming to take aim at Trump's "Make America Great Again" 2016 slogan.
Bush elaborated about his disagreements with Trump during the interview.
"We haven't had a major crisis to deal with, but this unilateralism or going-alone-ism I think is really dangerous," Bush said of Trump's foreign policy moves, according to The Hill.
"Our friends no longer believe they can trust the United States and our enemies, in many cases, feel emboldened by this approach," he reportedly added. "I think it defies the...bipartisan kind of consensus on foreign policy that has, by and large, kept America safe."
“I think someone should run just because Republicans ought to be given a choice,” Bush said on CNN's "The Axe Files." “It’s hard to beat a sitting president, but to have a conversation about what it is to be a conservative, I think it’s important.”

Please clap.
I wondered how anyone could be this stupid, and then I realized he’s not stupid — Bush is just not on America’s side.
And understanding his perspective, you realize he’s not stupid.
Just disappear, Jeb, no one with any sense is interested.
I doubt if you could manage to stand on your tip toes through an entire campaign Jeb, much less four years.
The Democrats need a Republican challenger too.
He needs a dose of the clap.
Too much talk, JEB. Come on, step up to the plate.

Like no one has recently said, “We sure need to have another Bush in the White House.”
Get behind our President or get lost!
#$50MillionPerDelegateJeb wants to play in the sandbox . . .
Run Jeb, run.
Is he competing for the Hillary Clinton most failed attempts to run for the presidency award?
Jen: who dis?
That worked so well for him last time. To quote the immortal Bugs Bunny: “What a maroon.”
Indeed. The Republicans desperately need another open borders global warmist to get the nod. Imagine how bad things would be today if this clown had been elected. Not much better than electing clinton.
Jeb said this a year ago and it only now arrived.
He started his next statement ..it should arrive before the 2020 election.
If the wind is in his favor.
