The guy is congenitally determined to go on a high-wire walk with outrageous, potentially offensive, high-risk comments and then double down on them. How anyone could feel safe and confident with this guy as a general election candidate is beyond me. He’s going to go too far at some point and make himself unelectable.
This is essentially greed in action. He wants to be as free to say what he wants as he can while still garnering as much popular support as possible. The more he gets away with it, the further he is going to go next time, until he finally falls off the high wire.
I think one of Trump’s main goals so far has been to take Jeb out and he has been doing a good job of it. I think this is probably a part of that. Maybe he is hoping for some lame reply from Jeb.
“The guy is congenitally determined to go on a high-wire walk with outrageous, potentially offensive, high-risk comments”
That is your assertion. Would you please explain WHY reminding everyone that Bush had been president for eight months when 911 occurred and that it is a high-wire, outrageous, and potentially offensive, high-risk comment, when Bush was getting warnings about terrorism?
Rick Rescorle, who lost his life in the attack, had already sounded the alarm about an attack by planes on the trade center.
Criticism is valid. Bush administration received warnings about impending attacks and even intelligence on persons of interests within the country. Dysfunction between agencies was apparent. Not to mention Bush's soft spot for the illegal alien invasion and "immigrants" in general. You can't blame everything on the Democrats.
