Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,†Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump reacted to an attack on the him from his opponent former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL) earlier in the show.

Trump would set his administration according to how it will benefit corporations.......that’s what he knows....he still thinks he’s interviewing for CEO of America rather than President, and all his speeches and double talk reflect this. Otherwise he “borrows” political issue statements he thinks is what the people want to hear....and did so by watching candidates BEFORE he announced.
That is a bit of an understatement. He thinks we can win in the Middle East by having more Sunni friends, like his pals in Saudi Arabia. Apparently he doesn't realize that their close associates are ISIS supporters. He also has suggested a no-fly zone in Syria. Apparently he hasn't considered what telling Russia they can't fly their jets means. Or what could happen the first time an American fighter jet tries to engage a Russian fighter over Syria.
And in the last debate Bush was all for Selective Service registration for young women. But he says he's not in favor of a draft. So what would be the point? If he's not in favor or a draft why not just abolish Selective Service registration for everybody? Or does he really want to see a draft which, under the equal protection clause, would have to be equally directed at young men and women?
Of course he also is against eminent domain, except when it is for public benefit, like the Keystone Pipeline. Oops, he forgot that is a private business whose purpose is to enrich guys in the oil industry.
What part of "all the charisma of a turnip" and "wrong on national issues" did you not understand?
Unlike some who confuse political support with cult worship, I can see the good parts of candidates I don't support, and the bad part of candidates I do. Jeb was a good governor but would be a lousy President.
After Saturday night, I'm backing Cruz by default. The only other option at this point, depending upon whether the characteristic rudenesa of Trump/Cruz supporters continues, is to support neither, and simply enjoy the schadenfreude of watching rude people gnash teeth and rend clothes over a loss.
And to be honest, that option is looking more and more attractive.
Congratulations. That is just about the worst argument I've seen on the subject. That has been national policy since before Reagan, and the point is to have that registration data on file just in case of the unlikely event that something happens that requires a draft.
Actually he was dishing it back to Jeb who was on Fox this morning bashing Trump. All of the Trump haters are going to get us Jeb. In the end, hillary will chew the wuss up and spit him out.
Jeb was also running Super Bowl ads. What a waste!!!
I think Jeb! remains a threat. He’ll pull out all the stops in South Carolina with his brother and the whole family campaigning. This is the state that reelects Linda Graham every six years and has a dummy for a governor (following her predecessor who was a nutcase). So I think it is entirely impossible that Jeb! makes a comeback in South Carolina. (IMHO, following the implosion of Rubio, the only other viable Establishment candidate still standing is Kasich.)
Prior to Iowa, I thought I saw signs of more mainstream pols lining up behind Trump as a better alternative than Cruz. Rubio emerging from the pack changed that because some people saw him as more electable. But after Saturday, I think he's out as an option. So, I think it will start breaking down between Trump and Cruz, with more mainstream pols lining up behind the one they find less detestable.
When did Rubio go wrong? Guess I missed it.
The press are always looking to damage any promising conservative candidate.
Is anything too hard for God? NO!
Pray!
Trump personalizes all of his attacks in a way that makes him seem more like an insecure bully than a possible presidential candidate. He’s so far ahead of Jeb in the polls that he should be focused on other subjects. But a fatal flaw for Trump and his tweeter account is his obsession with attempting to seek out and destroy enemies, real and imagined. It’s pathetic, and it’s revealing of another of his character flaws.
Before he started blaming his Iowa loss on Ted Cruz, didn't Trump say he hadn't done what he should have to win there? Will he then fire himself?
Bad news for you. Trump DID go to military school.
Somewhere a funeral home
is missing its bookkeeper.
Incorrect. Jeb is a huge threat. Do you think for a minute that Christie attacked Rubio just because? Christie has no shot. He’s on orders from the RNC to take out Rubio to make Bush viable again. Rubio’s fake surge after Iowa was designed to wound Trump, but it didn’t work. So the game is to get this down to a Trump/Bush race. After Rubio is destroyed in NH, the RNC will next go after Cruz.
I could not disagree more with this conspiracy stuff. I think Christie went after Rubio because Christie himself wants to win, and believed he had to take out Rubio to have a shot.
If there really was this nefarious "Establishment" conspiracy able to give orders and obtain obedience like you apparently believe, then it just would have ordered Rubio, Kasic, and Christie not to run in the first place so that Jeb would have been the only one in that lane, right from the start.
Sort of like a lot of Trump supporters in this forum...

Too bad Trump failed to learn something more than how to be a better bully (and how to "pretend to be a better loser!")
Little Jebbie isn’t going anywhere until Florida’s primary. I suspect after tomorrow though Krispy Kreme, ISnarly, Ben and the KingFu Fighter might need to seriously consider packing it up and heading to the house.
I am talking about the last debate: it is not just the MSM saying that Rubio looked terrible repeating the same line about Obama knowing exactly what he was doing three (or four?) times. I saw it myself and it was cringe-worthy. I am not sure that it would help Christie much but I could see Jeb and/or Kasich benefiting from it.
Understood.
