Jeb Bush Says He Takes Trump's Comments on Immigration Personally

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush says he is personally offended by rival Donald Trump's recent remarks about Mexico and immigrants and calls the remarks far outside the mainstream of Republican thought.

"I don't think he represents the Republican Party, and his views are way out of the mainstream of what Republicans think," Bush told reporters after marching in Fourth of July parades in Amherst and Merrimack, New Hampshire.

"No one suggests that we shouldn't control our borders — everybody has a belief that we should control our borders," he said. "But to make these extraordinarily ugly kind of comments is not reflective of the Republican Party. Trump is wrong on this."

Bush's wife was born in Mexico, and when he was asked if he took Trump's remarks personally, he responded: "Yeah, of course. Absolutely. And a lot of other people as well."

Same here. Him or Obama, the choice was clear.

A RINO or a power hungry Marxist Mulatto, no contest.

I still wished my Guy Newt would have made it to the General Election. I even forgave him for that Picture of him and Pelosi sitting on the Couch. LOL

Damn Jeb, I’ll bet it was hard for you to watch the Waltons as well.

Little House on the Prairie must have been a nightmare.

You have honest people and dishonest people.

It’s not hard to distinguish.

Jeb’s first loyalty is to his church. So called American bishops have been applying religious pressure to make legal what is illegal.

POPPYCOCK!

We have been talking about controlling our borders for 50+ years!

TALK! TALK! TALK!

ALL TALK! NO ACTION! (Well, just a tad, but no one was REALLY serious about it!)

Border is more wide open now than it was in 1965!

The whole issue is a joke! If the PTB in WDC truly wanted a closed border with tight immigration controls and a real “Rule of Law” re: immigration, we’d have had it 40 years ago!

The border mess has got to be cleaned up PDQ, or the USA, as we know it, is toast!

Where do you get the idea that Jeb is loyal to “his church”?

The teaching of the Catholic Church is clear: Murder may never be done. Any law or command that pretends to make murder “legal” is null.

Jeb ignored the teaching of the Catholic Church and stood aside while Terri Schiavo was murdered. She was not dying. She was murdered by starvation and dehydration.

Aside from the permanent teaching of the Church, the Vatican at the time said that Terri was being murdered.

The loud-mouthed lefty bishops of the U.S. are not “the Catholic Church.”

Jeb’s first loyalty is to his family, and his family have been owned by the Saudis for forty years, and were a criminal family even before that.

Perhaps you neglected to notice I did not use the word Catholic. I said his church! Good grief deal with reality.

I did not see Catholic mentioned. Maybe I should read it again. It is kinda late here. What religion is the Bush family anyway?

Jeb!, how the [happy 4th] can you be offended by
“some illegal aliens are felonious criminals”????

Explain the logic of being offended by that. Seriously, someone ask him exactly where the offense is, in English. Or even Spanish. He’s a [happy 4th]ing liar. What could his answer even be?

“Well, my wife is Mexican!”

“But, Governor, how does that make you offended? Trump didn’t call your wife a criminal. Nor did he call your wife an illegal. He didn’t say all Mexicans are criminals. How can you get offended at that?”

“It was an offensive comment and I stand with all Americans of Mexican heritage against it.”

“Please, Governor, is it not true that some illegals who cross into America and live here committed felonies in Mexico?”

“Well, yes, I’m sure some might have.”

“And, Governor, haven’t some gone on to commit more violent felonies in the US?”

“It seems some have.”

“So if what Donald Trump said is actually fact, where is the offense?”

“Well, he just shouldn’t say it! He makes all Mexicans Americans look bad!”

“How did you get that from what Trump said? He was careful to say that some of the people who illegally cross in are bad. Please explain where American citizens or residents of Mexican heritage are even connected to what he said?”

“Uh... Because... Well, ... Uh... Um, there are RACISTS out there who WOULD connect the two!!”

“Do you mean, Governor, like you just did?”

Why do you use that word? Isn’t it connected to the Mafia?

Fine, he can take his Mexican wife and go back to Mexico. I’m sure he’ll feel much more at home there. And so he doesn’t feel too alone, he might invite along the 30-60 million illegal aliens now in the US. Good riddance.
