Jeb Bush Cautions Donald Trump on Preying on Voters’ ‘Fear and Angst’ ("Act of Love" again)
The New York Times' First Draft ^ | August 4, 2015 | Michael Barbaro

Jeb Bush suggested on Tuesday that Donald J. Trump’s strategy, as he rides to the top of polls, was to “prey” on the “fear and angst” of the American electorate, and Mr. Bush reiterated his view that many illegal border crossings by migrant parents were “an act of love.”

During an interview with the Southern Baptist Convention in Nashville, Mr. Bush was asked about Mr. Trump’s surging political fortunes before the first major Republican presidential debate on Thursday.

Mr. Trump’s “harsh tone is wrong,” Mr. Bush said. Many Americans are alienated and angry, he said, adding, “They see America moving away from them.”

But, Mr Bush continued, “I don’t think politicians should prey on that fear and angst.”

No Mr. Bush!! You and your dysfunctional, dishonest and brain dead clan had better fear the angst of the awakened and angry middle class. Your family.. from grand daddies Bush and Walker to your CIA drug running daddy to your 911 stupid as dirt brother are at the epicenter of the tsunami that has almost destroyed the middle class wealth and the opportunities of this once great nation.

You think because the lame GOPe or the MSM or the RINOs or the RATS are going to come to your rescue your WRONG...you might as well save your money and time because your all going down.....

I fear for the country that yet another worthless sack of RINO will be elected. THAT is a real fear and a justified fear. It ‘s not like the current crop of loser politicians have done well by their oaths of office.

I agree with what you said except that there should be a hyphen between brain dead clan. Like this: brain-dead clan.

:-)

It should also be noted that George H W Bush, the NWO-loving traitor, sided with the baby-killing Gestapo ATF terrorists by resigning his lifetime membership with the NRA.
