No, Bush is not tough enough. And neither is Carson. In today’s world one has to be tough.

“Bush wasn’t terrible at the first debate”
Indeed. He was simply another, colorless, faceless, emotionless, non-entity on stage.
“The sessions have been led by Bradshaw, and supplemented with coaching from outsiders, including former Romney adviser Peter Flaherty. Bush, people close to the process say, has urged the participants to challenge him; three staffers have emerged as increasingly influential in these closed-door sessions”
And therein lies the problem for Jeb and the rest of the 15 dwarfs. Donald Trump comes out on stage and what you see is what you get. Trump is simply himself, speaks in ordinary language, and says the same kind of things we all say around the dinner table at night, and therefore Trump comes across as genuine and resonates with the populace.
The others are obviously projecting buttoned down, phony, political personas that they think will offend the least number of people and which they practice in front of the mirror a million times. We’re onto that game now and it doesn’t play in Peoria anymore.

Bullshiting. Heard a lot of rhetoric, but aside from the fence, nothing specific...yet.

For starters, Bush needs to stop referring to him as "Mr. Trump." That sounds like he works for him.”

What is he supposed to call him? Just Trump? That's disrespectful.

Bush, Walker, Kasich and Christie one called Governor. Cruz and Rubio are called Senator. Gingrich was called Speaker. Even Carson was called Doctor.

If Trump is not Mister, then what will he call Fiorino?

Reading this reminds me of the old George Carlin routine: Trump is football, Bush is baseball.
