Jeb Bush goes after Trump.
Posted on 09/03/2015 11:00:34 AM PDT by jimbo123
Jeb Bush took his offensive against Republican presidential rival Donald Trump on the road to this early voting state on Thursday, lambasting the real estate mogul's proposals in his opening remarks and defiantly responding to his jeers. He also faced some heat on immigration, Trump's signature issue.
Trump has criticized Bush for speaking Spanish on the campaign trail. Bush said Thursday he believed in campaigning with "brazos abiertos -- with our arms wide open." Trump has accused Bush of lacking the "energy" to be president. Bush vowed to "wake up each day with passion and conviction to make sure people's pocketbooks are filled with more money."

And while Trump wasn't in the room, some of Trump's immigration views were represented by Dennis Lamare, 58, an unsuccessful 2010 Republican candidate for Senate.
"Right now there's an air of appeasement," said Lamare. "It's, 'let them come in! Let them go where they want!'"
Bush waited as Lamare laid out a long, immigration restrictionist argument. The candidate then delivered his own familiar plan for earned legal status, before inviting Lamare to follow up.
"What are you going to do about Mexico?" he asked. "We’re being defensive! Why don’t we be offensive for once?"
"They should enforce their southern border," said Bush.
"What about the northern border?" asked Lamare.
"The northern border is not where, in the last five years, immigration has come from," said Bush. "It has not come from Mexico."

Well that’s an awkward headline!
Yes. I have absolute empathy for those who are trying to get out of countries where they have little opportunity, and corrupt governments, but that is why we have legal immigration. Further, by ignoring our own laws, our government is itself becoming increasingly corrupt. Incidentally, opportunity here is shrinking. We should be holding accountable the governments of Mexico and other nations from which large numbers of illegal immigrants are coming. The corruption of these governments is contributing markedly to the lack of opportunity for their citizens, and we should not be paying the price for their corruption.
to make sure people's pocketbooks are filled with more moneyis Huey Long baloney. You're beclowning yourself and your supporters.
Yeb is delusional......I guess he thinks we are being swarmed by the thousands of Chinese illegals.
The pictures of the SOUTHERN border show a different reality
Don Quixote tilting at the windmills....
The Ingenious Knight of La Mancha, Don Quixote, and his loyal servant Sancho Panza, come up upon windmills standing in the plain. Don Quixote, upon seeing them, makes the proposal, “Fortune is guiding our affairs better than we ourselves could have wished. Do you see over yonder, friend Sancho, thirty or forty hulking giants? I intend to do battle with them and slay them. With their spoils we shall begin to be rich for this is a righteous war and the removal of so foul a brood from off the face of the earth is a service God will bless.”
And bless his heart, Jeb has decided to make a name for himself.

It sounds like an awkward event.
“His audience, a mixture of employees of Foss Manufacturing, the company that hosted the town hall, and activists, infrequently interrupted him for applause, and did not react at all to the criticism of Trump.”
So is Jeb’s platform that he is going to get Mexico to enforce their southern border?
Jeb Bush goes after Trump.

“And this —
to make sure people’s pocketbooks are filled with more money
is Huey Long baloney. You’re beclowning yourself and your supporters.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ <-— ¿Yeb Boosh stash?
Yes, I saw that too. The most base and infantile kind of pandering. Inherently an absolute rejection of conservatism too, as he thus claims general prosperity comes from government. This man is a beacon of failure.
Face burn....
Wasn’t something different supposed to happen?
The little girl has the same result every single time she attempts this.
‘Bush vowed to “wake up each day with passion and conviction to make sure people’s pocketbooks are filled with more money.”’
By money he means pesos of course as that is the monetary unit of his desired native country.
In the grand GOP-e tradition of Boehner & McCain,
Bush attacks his fellows and not the enemy.
But Yeb pins medals on Hillary. Back when Republicans weren’t pussies, this was called “bull squeeze”.
“Jeborah Boosh v. Linda Graham, Ladies UFC Cage Fight:
Someone’s Losing a Nail”
Yeb Bush on the attack is like waiting for a futbol goal.
If you watch the video, one lady was dozing off after looking at her watch, the rest of the folks were bored, wiggling in seats, crossing arms over chest .... terrible picture for Bush.

I did see it. What I can’t tell from the comments is whether these people were forced to be there. I got the impression they were employees from the venue location.
I think they were employees. Very interesting - you’d think Jeb would find some place where he could attract an enthusiastic crowd who wanted to be there .... then again, maybe he can’t do that so has to have a ‘captive’ audience. He’s tanking so badly - Trump just beats him like a rented mule so that all he can do is react and he’s visibly perturbed by it.
Much like YEB!, she has perfected the face plant.
[...“wake up each day with passion and conviction to make sure people’s pocketbooks are filled with more money.”]
Well I guess we know how he’s going to use his campaign funds... to buy votes.
