Jeb Bush, former Florida governor, former presidential hopeful and former loud critic of President Donald Trump, has stepped back into the political arena to call out his fellow Republicans as hypocrites — for not publicly condemning Trump.
Sigh. Why, why, why do these entrenched Republicans insist on picking public fights with their fellow GOPers?
It doesn’t endear them to anyone but their own dwindling bases. And we know their bases are dwindling because try as they might, their candidates — their Marco Rubios, their Mitt Romneys, their Jeb Bushes — just couldn’t win against Trump.
Yet six-plus months into Trump’s presidency, and they still can’t get behind their own Republican leader.
Bush, from the OZY Fest in New York City, called out those in his party who weren’t being vocal enough about the whole Russia-Trump collusion thing.
“If your opponent does things that you, your head explodes on, if Barack Obama did something as it’s related to Russia, you say ‘this is outrageous,’ all this stuff, then when your guy does the same thing, have the same passion to be critical,” Bush said, The Hill reported.
Come on now. Doesn’t the left and the media — not to be redundant — do enough damage against this White House without those of supposed Republican Party affiliation adding to the hatchets and hits?
Bush is why Trump won. He doesn’t get that.....

But that we have to put up with these idiotic attacks on the one political leader who really does put America first, is tragic.
I believe that is the reason Barbara Bush was against him running for President. She knew her sons’ limitations.
I have 2 daughters- I would NOT want Marissa to be a scientist -OR- Ashley to be an artist- that is not their skills... but the other way around would be perfect.
We are seeing that Jeb is probably the dumbest of all the Bush family.
“That boy jeb needs a good solid kick in the balls.”

Impossible....he doesn’t have any.
Anybody out there listening to tippy-toe Jeb?
Yes it is tragic.
Jeb is a low energy intellectual midget beside Trump. That tippy toe thing was the most strenuous athletic thing he may have done in 30 years.
I had not thought of that. You may very well be right about that. Barb knew. That is the only sensible reason for her to throw a boulder in his path, with that otherwise goofy remark of hers. I think she made that remark on more than one occasion.
