Bush Breaks the Rules, Trump Breaks His Back

This weekend illustrates why Trump (or somebody like him) could be president.

The second rule of pres­id­en­tial polit­ics is nev­er tell voters you’ve got something bet­ter to do.

Jeb Bush on Sat­urday: “I’ve got a lot of really cool things I could do oth­er than sit around, be­ing miser­able, listen­ing to people de­mon­ize me and me feel­ing com­pelled to de­mon­ize them.”

The third rule of pres­id­en­tial polit­ics is nev­er tell voters to vote for some­body else.

Jeb Bush: “That is a joke. Elect Trump if you want that.”

The fourth rule of pres­id­en­tial polit­ics is polit­ics today sucks. Deal with it.

Jeb Bush: “If this elec­tion is about how we’re go­ing to fight to get noth­ing done, I don’t want any part of it. I don’t want to be elec­ted pres­id­ent to sit around and see grid­lock just be­come so dom­in­ant that people lit­er­ally are in de­cline in their lives. That is not my mo­tiv­a­tion.”

The scion of a very polit­ic­al fam­ily broke all the rules Sat­urday, in­clud­ing the one about nev­er sur­ren­der­ing to a bully. A bully smells blood.

“Bush has no money,” Don­ald Trump, the bil­lion­aire celebrity TV star and GOP pres­id­en­tial front-run­ner, said Sunday. “He’s meet­ing today with mommy and daddy, and they’re work­ing on his cam­paign.”

“He’s a guy wants to run our coun­try and he can’t even run his own cam­paign,” Trump told a rally in Bush’s home state of Flor­ida. “Think of it!”

There agenda is falling apart as we speak...world wide!

It is?

The teachers here hate every Republican governor because they do not give them huge raises. The Demoncrats don’t either, but they are willing to lie and say that they will....right after the next election.

If they wanted to make a ton of money, they chose the wrong job.

My wife is different from that. She teaches her kids real stuff like reading and writing and real arithmetic. She can do that because she is a Spec Ed primary teacher and is thus ignored by the school board and the principal. Some of her kids including some of the dumb ones, after a year are much more accomplished than the mainstream kids.

One example would be the Russian bombardment of islamonazis and their taking the lead in the mid-east.

The one-worlders are not happy my FRiend.

Not happy at all.

And with Jebito Bushario days away from going bye bye...

There is hope.

I will never be able to erase that short video of Jebbie standing on his tippy-toes trying to make himself look taller from my brain…………..one of the most pitifully funny things I’ve ever seen a presidential candidate do..

I agree, the very definition of pathetic. And, given that it was among presidential candidates, surreal. I must have looked at that clip a dozen times, thinking, "okay, he's joking, he's making fun..."

But he wasn't.

It does seem Jeb has been half hearted about this run from the start. What kind of candidate begins his campaign by telling everyone who’s vote he doesn’t want/need?

Here in CA thats less true every year.

It used to be teachers got great retirement benefits because they were expected to earn less during the course of their careers than those in the private sector.

Thanks to collective bargaining they now have great retirement benefits PLUS pretty damn good salaries, in many cases better than their equivalents in the private sectors.

>>Thanks to collective bargaining they now have great retirement benefits PLUS pretty damn good salaries, in many cases better than their equivalents in the private sectors.

They do here in FL too, for a job that is not all-year, has fairly short days compared to the private sector, and provides many work days each year where the customer (the students) stay home. But they think they deserve a six-figure salary due to their Masters degree, while ignoring the supply and demand problem of too many teachers graduating college each year and not enough retiring. (The “teacher shortage” is largely due to affirmative action requirements—they refuse to hire the qualified so they can create openings for the diverse.)

So they all hate Republicans for not giving them all that they think they deserve. Then they hate Republicans when Democrats don’t give them what they promised.

Public schools are child abuse.

Perhaps he should try running for the office of President in Mexico since he is so pro-Mexican in all his positions. Little Jebbie is obviously campaigning in the wrong country and nobody on his high paid staff told him.
