Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush says his fellow 310 million Americans just can’t build a wall along the 2,000-mile border with Mexico.
“What Donald Trump is proposing is a wall that can’t be built,” Bush said in a Sunday radio interview with John Catsimatidis on New York’s AM 970.

Bush’s “We Can’t Do It,” mantra contrasts with Trump’s “Make American Great Again” slogan. So far, the public seems to prefer Trump’s confident vision to Bush’s passive, pessimistic vision. A new poll of Iowa voters shows that 23 percent of voters support Trump, and six percent support Bush.
However, immediately after Bush declared a wall can’t be built, he also contradicted himself by saying construction of a wall would cost “billions.”
“If it was [built], it would cost hundreds of billions of dollars,” he insisted.
Bush’s calculations predict that each mile of border fence would cost at least $100 million to construct.
It appears Bush may have exaggerated the cost of the wall that can’t be built. Experience shows that walls are much simpler to build than spaceships and rockets, nuclear weapons, or a huge military. In fact, the Government Accountability Office concluded in 2009 that the most ambitious border wall under consideration would cost $5.1 million per mile.
Trump is a construction professional, and he predicts a lower cost than “hundreds of billions.”

We will build a wall! The Great Wall of Trump!
Well, if Jeb! says so...
Yep, Jeb and Rick Perry are members of the “no we can’t” bunch. Just watch us.
BUILD THE WALL NOW!

Jeb Bush -
“We can go to the Moon, just 66 years after learning how to fly, but building a wall is too much.”
Bush is full of more sh!t than a Christmas Turkey. If this country set its mind to it, it could build a 2000 mile long wall that would make the Great Wall of China look like a picket fence.
Jeb just needs to go the hell back to Mexico where he belongs.
No you can't, built that interstate.
No you can't, built that dam.
No you can't, put a man into space.
No you can't, put a man on the moon.
No you can't. ...
More than one way to build a wall.
Drop flyers all over Northern Mexico:
“Our Border Patrol agents are now fully-armed and commissioned to defend the U.S. border with Mexico against all illegal trespassers. If you send your children to test our resolve, your children will be turned away forcefully.”
And this clown is supposed to be the smart Bush?
Least he isn’t a LIAR. He hasn’t misrepresented his positions like say Rubio.
Bush has stated his support for common core, amnesty, and a whole slue of very stupid stands.
I wouldn’t hire him to wash my dog but at least he isn’t a liar.
The queer mulatto has been screaming at us, as if he were some kind of monarch, ‘You did not!’ ‘You can not!’
Now, a mushy third guy of a dynasty wants us to vote for him, because he says ‘You can’t!’?????
Ain’t the America i was born into, and sure as heck is not the America i want.
Harry Truman met with his Cabinet when Stalin blockaded Berlin in 1948; he told them he wanted to go ahead with an airlift of food and supplies to the people of the besieged city because the US was guaranteed access and it was the right and humanitarian thing to do. The Cabinet voted unanimously against it, saying “it can’t be done’. Truman voted in favor, his vote counted, and he saved Berlin and probably the US in the Cold War. “You say you can’t, well then step aside and let someone be president who CAN”. Ronald Reagan, 1980 debate with Goober Carter.
That would make a great anti-Jeb billboard (Perry is nothing). "Vote for me. I can't". Have him stradling a line denoting the border.
¿Podemos hacer que?
[‘We Can’t Do It’]
Just suppose a Trump wall WAS built, how long before some idiot says...”You didn’t build that”?
But ask Yeb if we can pass comprehensive immigration reform (amnesty) and: “Si, se puede!”
When this goes into effect, you have a built in labor force and other illegals not yet captured will self deport in droves.
