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.”

Bush should just go register as a democrat since everything he believes in is lefty and socialistic. Then he could give Hitlery a run for his/her money. And take Linda Grahamnesty with him.

I heard that Bush went to Mass this morning, the Feast of the Transfiguration of Christ. I still cant understand how he let Terri Schiavo die. And as a Catholic, it makes him less than a coward. Not only a Rino, a Canino.

Jeb is a very weak person. He was too afraid to stand up for the helpless.

The buffoon Jeb Bush can't even spell the insult right.

I suggest he team up with Hillary and run on the same ticket.

The article spells it correctly, so it looks like it was a Drudge error.

If Trump is a Baffoon, Jeb Bush is a Maroon.

I keep making the essential point. Trump's surge past Bush within a few hours of entering the race, demonstrated that Bush is irrelevant. Whether Trump continues to surge or not; the ease of that original eclipse tells us not only something about Trump. It tells us how superficial the original Bush promotion was.

I thank God for both Trump and Cruz. But I am not going to endorse anyone this early. My point here is simply to focus attention on the superficiality of the initial Bush support and contrived boom. Trump's ease in knocking Bush down to size has not been lost on anyone who understands the dynamics of a campaign. Even if Trump fades, Bush will never rebound to where he was before the graphic demonstration of his irrelevance.

Jeb. Always clumsy. Now desperate. Makes for sloppy. Leads to fail.

Post of the year. :)

Interesting how easily the GOPe can sling that invective at Trump, but would never dare use those terms for Obama, Schumer, Reid, Pelosi or any liberal...

I agree. I believe this to be a set up.

Name calling?!?!?!

Sounds like when a leftist loses an argument. You are certain that they know they have lost, and they know it, when their frail point crumbles into a million pieces and they call the Conservative a “poopy-pants” or some other childish non-sequitir (racist, denier, Big Oil person, etc.).

So many pigeons strutting around on the chessboard...

Do you really think Jeb’s conversion to Catholicism was genuine? I always assumed it was a just political move to play for the Hispanic vote which, for all his pandering, doesn’t seem to be working out so well for him either.

That's one way for Drudge to give it more coverage.

No matter how you spell it, such an outburst suggests that John Ellis Bush does not have the temperament to be President.
