Longtime Bush family adviser Mary Matalin says Donald Trump is wrong about former Florida Gov. Jeb Bushs energy level.
Donald Trump can say whatever he wants to say about Jeb. But saying that hes low-energy is wrong because the guy is an Energizer bunny, she said in a Sunday interview with radio host John Catsimatidis on The Cats Roundtable on New Yorks AM-970.
Trump, leading the Republican presidential race, has repeatedly targeted the former Florida governor over the last few weeks, calling him low-energy.
Matalin, wife of Clinton insider James Carville, suggested Trump could make it all the way to the general election.
He has more substance than weve seen displayed, she said. He certainly has the moxie. If he teams up with the right kind of people and has the right kind of substance, yes, his message is electable.
As for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, Matalin was asked whether she would win the partys nomination next year.
Dont hold your breath, she said.
Matalin worked in the White House administrations of George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush Jebs father and brother, respectively as well as Ronald Reagan.
Mary Matalin hosted a fund raiser for the Democratic mayor of New Orleans, where she now lives, Mitch Landrieu. I have no use for her opinions.
The ONLY reason Bush can continue is $$$. He can drop to the bottom of the polls, almost has, and still continue as his money won’t run out. That won’t make him any more electable that Graham, Santorum, Perry, Walker, and the others down there. Okay, he’s better than Santorum and Graham, but I see Bush, Perry, and Walker about the same—all experienced but missing something. That Trump knocked them over with practically the first touch should give pause to any lingering supporters as to how they might do against a Democrat who won’t pull any punches. They’d lose, Republicans would be conceding the election before it ever got under way to support any of these guys.
Matalin is TONE DEAF..
A good perspective.
Yes Jeb Bush is an energizer bunny when he is helping illegals come into the USA and take away our jobs and vote for democrats/socialism, otherwise not so much
Usually someone comes buy and says, “Best post of the week or day...”
I’m going to say, “Understatement of the month.”
LOL
I believe Mary/James live in Louisiana???
I honestly don’t know for sure.
Don’t wish em any ill will, just disagree with their views.

You knock Trump. Matalin knocks Trump. Matalin is tone-deaf.

I was referring to her supporting Jeb.. as NOT dead more or less..
I wasn’t thinking of TRUMP at all..
DAMN did I miss a good snark?...

“Energizer bunny”
That comes from chronic use of antipsychotic medication.
