REPUBLICAN CIVIL WAR: BUSH SAYS TRUMP 'BAFFOON' A 'CLOWN' AN '***HOLE'

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/08/gop-2016-debate-jeb-bush-donald-trump-121076.html#.VcNyqktq5SE

The half-dozen conservative senators and governors who had planned to run before Bush brought out his shock-and-awe fundraising campaign, had to laugh: They viewed Bush himself as an intruder, a political semi-retiree who sat on the sidelines for eight years while they fought Barack Obama. Now it was Bush’s turn to rage at an outsider.

“Seriously, what’s this guy’s problem?” he asked one party donor he ran into recently according to accounts provided by several sources close to Bush—and he went on to describe the publicity seeking real estate developer now surging in public polls far ahead of Bush and all the 15 others in the Republican field as “a buffoon,” “clown” and “***hole.”

Rush Limbaugh is talking about the Fox News moderators having a secret plan to deal with Trump if he breaks any rules and won’t stop talking.

....” While Trumps sounding off is performing a useful service. He has had intimate demi-ocrat connections particularly with the Clintons”....

Plus his history shows he's favored liberal views on many issues he's saying otherwise now....so...though I like what he's doing I'm not convinced he's the one ‘d want as President.

However, if Cruz doesn't get the nomination then I'd have to juggle my expectations to see who would otherwise suite best....I don't particularly think an of the others are anything but more of the same.......so it might be Trump.

“Million of people like myself are retired and do not have the budget to pay for such service.

I feel that the debates-—ALL OF THEM-—should be available on a free access channel.”

Nothing personal, but you sound like a democrap. Others should give their products away for free because you deserve it.

I’m sure you have a $10,000 car, a $150,000 house, a guaranteed stream of gubmint income, a paid-for gubmint insurance, a lifetime of savings with good planning, so what is this extra $50?

This was planned to force Trump into a mistake. All attacks on Trump are asnwered not initiated because of the panic in the establishment.
Here, this was timed for tonight. One of the Ailses minions will probably say “ It is reported that bush has called you an “asshole”. What say ye? If Trump is on he will turn to bush , smile and say “did you say that sir?” Watch that melting wussy crater. If bush mumbles says “yes” then Trump simple says — See there? They always attack me first.” “Next question”.

Perhaps this is an effort to get a rise out of Trump in debate tonight...

Trump might mention Terry Schiavo. Might get a rise out of Jebbie.

Why can’t this idiot get real? He should know by his name and 2 President’s already from his immediate family this country will not elect him. Common sense. But yes, he like many others, has developed the entitlement mentality.

If you don’t have the facts, pound the law. If you don’t have the law, pound the table.

Jeb’s fist is getting sore.

This is not the best headline for Jeb Bush, not on the night of the first debate, when Trump is already so outlandishly skewering Jeb in the polls and every other level. Jeb, why wouldn’t this little headline revelation mean you have been exposed, showing your petulant self, broadcasting that you are a whiner?

Jeb appears to be lethargic compared to Trump. Perhaps weighted down by the gazillions in coin he drags around place to place, from his Chamber masters who surely own him by now, he discovers he is going to have to work for this coronation after all. This was not the way it was suppose to be. Poor Jeb.

Trump's surge past Bush within a few hours of entering the race, demonstrated that Bush is irrelevant. ...the ease of that original eclipse tells us not only something about Trump. It tells us how superficial the original Bush promotion was.

I almost laughed out loud when Jeb first announced that he was running for president. The very fact that this man thought he had enough support to win that office, shows how tragically out of touch he is with the American people.

The American people aren't going to elect another Bush to the White House in our lifetimes. It was a pathetic fool's errand for he and his corporate cronies to even try it.

A lot of talk about Fox moderator’s secret techniques to deal with Trump, but is it really about fair time?

Trump has a history of slapping down reporters.

Trump to reporter in LA:

“Do you have a college degree? (ah yeah)...THEN READ THE LETTER!”

Trump will do similar and the crowd will roar!

Fox moderators egos won’t allow that to stand.

If Trump spends his thirty seconds making the moderator look foolish, do you think they will let that stand and go to the next debater??? HELL NO!

So then the moderator is in an argument with Trump. (Win for Trump!)

Trump should come right out and say:

“Listen...the media has a lower approval rating than congress...single digit...I TREAT YOU ALL ACCORDINGLY!”

The crowd will go crazy...!!!

I knew that hiring a clown can be expensive, but I never knew you could become a billionaire by being one.

I think there trying to Provoke Trump….I think he will act like a statesmen and then say these debates are boring… I may only do a couple more…at my choosing

I think you're right. Everyone is expecting fireworks tonight and I wouldn't be surprised to see that it turns out fairly boring.

You know, I thought when the RNC decided to put their foot down and include debate panelists who were not from the Left, but were more moderate, this might actually mean a chance for our candidates to reveal more of themselves and more about their general platform directions for their campaign, without the mortal combat between themselves and the show horse panelists.

I am not so sure FOX panelists will treat them with any more respect than the leftist socialist panelists we have always suffered. Especially Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace who have never been Republican, let alone conservative. Baier has never been characteristically vicious, and I believe he is actually more conservative.

Bush is getting DESPERATE.

I wonder if he called his mommy to tell her about that bad man named Trump?
