Jeb Bush Finds His Groove in Donald Trump's Shadow
Time Magazine ^ | 1/16/16 | Philip Elliott

The joyful grinder now talks of giving himself therapy.

The question came from the audience, but it might as well have come from inside Jeb Bush's own brain: "Why would you want to be President of a nation that would consider voting for Donald Trump?"

The former Florida Governor shook his head on this snowy Saturday morning. Such questions are not uncommon at Bush's campaign events. With less than a month before voters in leadoff Iowa and New Hampshire, they are ones he has been struggling to answer for himself. These days, as he goes from event to event, it has become clear that he making his peace with a presidential campaign that is unlike anything he could have predicted, and one that might leave him and his supporters deeply disappointed.

If it wasn’t for Trump singlehandedly destroying Bush, he would most likely be coasting to the nomination, because none of the others would have dared oppose him and jeopardize their chance of being his VP.

“”Why would you want to be President of a nation that would consider voting for Donald Trump?””

If I were still in the military, I might ask myself why would I bother defending a country that would elect Obama twice?

I am getting bad vibes about Trump. He’s big enough to do whatever it takes to get what he wants. Notice how the media are not going after him full out? He’s going to screw everything up and Bush will get the GOPe nom.

They want to lose to Hillery or Sanders. Haven’t figured out which one!

: “Why would you want to be President of a nation that would consider voting for Donald Trump?”...

WHO THE @#$@#$ DOES THIS PERSON THINK THEY ARE!??

pompous self righteous fool.

a better question would be why do you want to part of a nation that votes in obama twice!!??

the answer is because the two term limit always leaves room for hope to outlast at the most, eight hard years and then get your guy in

I really don’t want Yeb! to be President.
His goal is the Mexification of America.
It’s cool that he found love in Mexico, but the rest of us don’t necessarily want our country turned into North Mexico.
