Just watch. Trump will use this in the debate to belittle Jeb.

“I hope he stands next to Trump onstage. The comparison in knowledge, depth and quality will be apparent in the first 15 minutes.”

So true. Trump may well be unstoppable when voters see how vacant jeb is.

These DC pigs have been at the tax payer trough so many decades, they no longer see themselves as pigs on the tax payroll.

They think everyone outside their entrenched insiders club are the pigs.

Trump has created hundred of millions in taxes for these reckless political pigs.

And they allege Trump’s the pig?

I know a few in the real world.

I wouldn’t say they are super excited, but there are a few jeb supporters out there.

but yeah, they don’t frequent grassroots websites...you are correct there.

“To wrestle with a pig” is like wrestling with Hollywood.

The Jeb has a friend? Who would have known.

He might get 4 votes from those under 30. Those are relatives...

Is the old maxim, “Don’t get into a pissing contest with a skunk” not in vogue anymore?

Hilarious how the “insiders” believe that Jeb’s problem is that he is perceived as lacking “fire in the belly”.

Now we know how they will spin the results next Thursday.

All Jeb will do is come off as having a hard on for illegals and Common Core.

There are many reasons not to like Bush but certainly “fire in the belly” is a very obvious reason. For people like me who never followed his career, the lack of spunk and obvious boredom is paramount in my estimation of him. Don’t underestimate that!

Trump has NOTHING to prove.

He is what he is. He understands as a businessman, either you give the public what *THEY* will buy or you go belly up. Jeb is as bad as Hillary in thinking he’s entitled to the nomination. Several others are ideologues who would rather be right than elected which may be admirable but ‘don’t pay the bills’.

Two things really get media attention, neither has anything to do with political ideology:

Money
Entertainment value

Trump has more of either than every other candidate of both parties put together.

Personal analysis of why Trump confounds some on both left and right:
I think a heck of a lot of the American population likes the fact he is NOT either an ideological conservative or a liberal; not a whole lot of people are, it just SEEMS that way because here (and at DU) the people who are motivated by partisan ideology outpost people who might very well have some liberal ideas and some conservative ones. Here, and at DU, no one in their right mind is going to admit to having an opinion outside of the prevailing orthodoxy, not if they don’t want dozens of passionate people attacking them. So that skews what we (and the other side) see online

Wow! I figured yeb would be nervous over going head to head with Trump, but I didn’t know he would be scared enough to put out that idiotic excuse.

Jeb looks like he belongs in a sheltered workshop.

Insiders warn Jeb: Don't engage with Trump;

It sounds like a good excuse to avoid someone who will seriously kick your a$$.

Jeb Bush = weak & weaker.
