Bush: A Republican will never win by striking fear in people's hearts. (Compares Trump to Obama)
Real Clear Politics ^ | July 14, 2015

BUSH: On our side there are people that prey on people’s fears and their angst as well. I don’t know about you, but I think it is wrong. I believe we need to unify our country. We need to stop tearing—separating ourselves by race and ethnicity and income. We need to focus on the things that tie us together. And whether it’s Donald Trump or Barack Obama their rhetoric of divisiveness is wrong. A Republican will never win by striking fear in people’s hearts. A Republican can win, and will win, if we have an aspirational message that gives people hope that their lives will be better when we apply conservative principles the right way.

Here’s an inspirational message Jebbie; get rid of the illegals.

The Bush family clearly likes Obama and have been supporting him, they are pro-illegal and pro-gay.

I mean GWB too, and obviously Laura.

AMERICANS are already in fear because of what obama and Congress are doing to this country and what they are allowing to happen to it.

So if someone comes along and shows us that he too understands what is happening and knows is bad, it resonates with us.

We are listening to Trump, but not out of fear of him or his message. Out of fear of more people like YOU, Jeb Bush!

Didn’t his own brother win in 2004 by striking fear to win over “security moms”?

Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?

Let us show that we stand for fiscal integrity and sound money and above all for an end to deficit spending, with ultimate retirement of the national debt.- CPAC 1975

Why not, fear seems to work very well for the Democrats.

Here are only a couple of many many examples of the DemonRAT party using FEAR to win elections in the past decade.

Hey Jeb, no republican can win by being a pussy either. I guess that leaves you out.

The inspirational message of Trump is not fear. It’s a rallying call to stop giving our wealth to illegal foreigners so we can take care of our country. Sometimes, an inspirational message has to begin with “no more” and end with “are you all with me?”
