He is weak on illegal immigration! If anyone should change parties it is JEB! He is the Democrat’s candidate!

Trump knows how to fight. I hope he kicks Jeb’s @$$, and then I hope Cruz defeats him in the primaries.

It makes perfect sense. The libs wand a weak simpleton to run against her heinous. The last thing they want is a strong alpha male type who will call her out for the imposter that she is. Once nominated they would turn on Jeb like a shark would turn on Megyn Kelly.

BINGO!

Willie Horton was a campaign tactics invented by one Democrat to destroy another Democrat.
And the media still hates the Republicans for it and bashes the GOP for such a sleazy thing.

It's a crazy world.

Yes, and isn’t it great to see who the dems support after their bitch proves out to be a loser? They run to support Jeb!, the establishment candidate. If I knew nothing of Jebby, that would be the tell to avoid him at ALL costs.

Yeah, he is, but so was W. pretty much, and they HATED HIM, which tells me that Yebster here must be a real hardcore lib.
