Bush has 'grave doubts' about Trump as commander in chief
CNN ^ | 10/18/15 | Eugene Scott

Posted on 10/18/2015 7:17:32 AM PDT by jimbo123

Jeb Bush said Donald Trump discusses foreign policy like a reality show star and that support for the Republican front-runner will eventually wane.

Bush also said he has little confidence in Trump's ability to appropriately handle America's nuclear weapons.

"I have grave doubts, to be honest with you," Bush told CNN's Jake Tapper in an interview airing Sunday on "State of the Union."

"He's not taking the responsibility, the possibility of being president of the United States really seriously. For him, it looks as though he's an actor playing a role of the candidate for president. Not boning up on the issues, not having a broad sense of the responsibilities of what it is to be a president," Bush said. "Across the spectrum of foreign policy, Mr. Trump talks about things as though he's still on 'The Apprentice.'"

Yep. This reads like it’s straight out of a focus group, trying desperately to get at Trump’s vulnerabilities.

The mistake was trying to set up a democracy in a muslin country. Hussein had WMD’s.

Should have just killed Husein because he was a loudmouth, sit back and maintain a presence, and let one of his Husseins Generals that was willing to play ball take over.

Patrolling the countryside trying to win hearts and minds and create a democracy is what retarded liberals do.

When Trump finds out that Jebbie may not be voting for him, he [Trump, that is] will be simply devastated.

“Yikes, this must mean that Jebbie won’t be voting for Trump”

Jeb is in a bad place. Jeb doesn't think Trump is up to being CIC and handling nuclear weapons, but he has signed a pledge to support Trump if Trump wins the Republican nomination.

Jeb should have thought of that before committing to support Trump.

Always remember in the aftermath of Desert Storm, Bush 41 encouraged the Kurds in the North and swamp Arabs to the south to rise up against Hussein. Then he abandoned them to their fate, which was grisly, as the despicable Colin Powell deterred him from provided material support. We ended up in the embarrassing debacle of dropping pallets of food to the Kurds from the air, while Hussein's troops killed them on the ground.

Does Jeb ever open his mouth without shooting himself in the foot?

Couldn’t prove it by me. This guy passed wing-nut months ago.

Fringe of the fringe of the fringe....

But he us silent in a community organizer who is, or a thief and liar who is proven to be incapable from Benghazi, who wants to be.

The Bushes have a knack for destroying America by attacking the wrong people.

Jeb...but he has signed a pledge to support Trump if Trump wins the Republican nomination.

Really? When did this happen? Can't find any reference to any other GOP candidate signing the same pledge as Trump.

Please shows us the source of your assertion.

Jeb's support for any but the GOP-e nominee will be luke warm at best but much more likely to be the passive-agressive stance taken by daddy Bush.

Yebbie couldn’t even protect an innocent, victimized woman from her abusive husband and a jerk-water judge.

That's the essence of it right there. He's totally unfit for the presidency on that point alone. Can you imagine if Putin starts pushing him around?

It’s must be very hard to learn you actually AREN’T annointed. Same for HRC.

My hear bleeds for them.

A Trump in the hand is worth three of the Bush.

Bush complains Trump is like “an actor”. Well, the last actor we had as president did pretty damned well!
