Jeb Bush: Donald Trump’s shift on immigration ‘abhorrent’
washingtontimes ^

Posted on 08/31/2016 12:48:18 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says Donald Trump is turning into a typical politician with his recent comments on illegal immigration, saying Mr. Trump is correct to try to reach out to new constituencies but that it’s anyone’s guess what he might actually believe. “This is all a game,” Mr. Bush said Thursday in a radio interview with WABC’s Rita Cosby. “His views will change based on the feedback he gets from a crowd, or, you know, what he thinks he has to do.” Mr. Bush, who Mr. Trump repeatedly mocked as “low energy” during the GOP presidential primary contest, said Mr. Trump is now turning into what the billionaire businessman is supposedly against. “Sounds like a typical politician, by the way, where you get in front of one crowd and say one thing, and then say something else to another crowd that may want to hear a different view,” Mr. Bush said. “All the things that Donald Trump railed against, he seems to be morphing into — it’s kind of disturbing,” he said. “Shifting my views because … it’s political to do it — that’s what politicians do in this country, that’s what Trump is trying to do right now. I find it abhorrent,” said Mr. Bush, who has said he cannot vote for either Mr. Trump or Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

I think Jeb’s insight and opinion is every bit as valid and worthy of respect as Kayne West’s....

Amazing how Cruz’s lack of support is considered a lack of class, political decorum, and character, but Jeb gets a pass.

Know what? Its to bad that Trump didnt take the bait like Ronald Reagan did and pick a hack like Jebs Ol Man as his running mate. That is why all this crying by assholes like Yeb.
Trump took one of the highest rated conservatives that was ever in congress as his running mate.

That is one mistake Reagan made.

Jeb proves yet again that he is an idiot with guacamole for brain matter. He’s become so pathetic that frankly, it’s almost embarrassing to see.

Neil is the dumbest...and likeable.

W is not stupid and is likeable.

Jeb is probably the smartest...and not likeable.

IMO!

Hahaahahaha well put...I have to admit I like W even with all the hits he has taken and all the establishment stuff.

I doubt in early Septemeber he said to himself, well this is the month...anyday I could do my “pretend” I’m surprised gig and then plan to invade Iraq....i got my orders you know..

He just should have stayed clear of the Bill Clinto, Clinton tarnishes the image of everyone associated him.

Bush took such n unfair hit on Katrina...he was on top of it...it was just so massive and such n opportunity for the left to portray him as uncaring since it was black Americans. I’ll never forget the reporting of the slime ball Shepherd Smith...a total snake.

As for the present, Clinton was praying and hoping her opponent was Jeb...she would have neutered him.

It would have been a cakewalk for her...1st Sanders, then Bush....praise God that lil plan has been changed a bit.

I’m predicting her and Bill are going to be the one’s emasculated...as will Obama.

His wife beat Hillery to that!

Sometimes I just wanted to shake W to take up for himself. That's why I love Trump!

W stood back and let the inept NOLA mayor and La governor blame their inaction on him!

I'm done with all the Connecticut Yankees named Bush!

Don't mess with Texas! LOL!

I guess its pretty difficult to take on a lying mob and getting them to see the truth...when they already know the truth, when truth seekers they are not.
