Longtime Bush family adviser Mary Matalin says Donald Trump is wrong about former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s energy level.
“Donald Trump can say whatever he wants to say about Jeb. But saying that he’s 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 York’s 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 we’ve 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 party’s nomination next year.
“Don’t hold your breath,” she said.
Matalin worked in the White House administrations of George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush — Jeb’s father and brother, respectively — as well as Ronald Reagan.
> “Matalin: Trump’s wrong, Jeb is ‘an Energizer bunny”
Uh huh .... and Anthony Weiner is a classy guy!
I must confess that I have never seen Jeb wear shades and beat a large drum. Energizer bunny?
Mrs. Carville says, “Mute: click, click, click, ahhh, paint drying...”
Which answers the question as to why they came out with a new battery
Lol!
If you look up Low-T in the dictionary there is a picture of Jeb.
I thought the EB was Billy’s girl... ?
Well SHE really added some gravitas to the Yeb issue. Is he a joyful tortoise or a cute lil bunny?
It’s just not working out for you Yeb. Buh-bye.
I can see it: Jeb marches around blindly to drumbeat that’s completely out of time.
Mary Jeb should have listened to his mother. And you have sex with the red skull.
My thought has been that Jeb wants to do this as much as Romney did. They put the arm on him and so off goes to rum for POTUS...like a good little boy.
Wish we could make a deal that both Matalin and Carville remain quiet.
It is not apparent that Mary is a good judge when it comes to men.
Check out incestuous our political system is. So she is both a long time “family adviser” of the Bushes AND wife to James Carville.
WTH is up with that?
El Jebbe’s batteries come from Mejico.
Mary Matalin is an inside the beltway person, a campaign wonk if you will.
I hesitate to say it but for those who understand she was the ‘Nicole Wallace’ of her time.
I used to be in the media and spoke to both her and James on separate occasions.
It’s your credibility Ms Matalin.
Google “low energy candidate” and up pops a picture of Jeb.
