Jeb Bush calls on Republicans to challenge Trump

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush says Donald Trump should face a Republican primary challenge in 2020.

Bush, who ran for president in 2016, told CNN the party “ought to be a given a choice.”

“I think someone should run. Just because Republicans ought to be given a choice,” he said. “To have a conversation about what it is to be a conservative I think is important...And our country needs to have competing ideologies that people -- that are dynamic, that focus on the world we’re in and the world we’re moving towards rather than revert back to a nostalgic time.”

But Bush acknowledged it would be difficult for anyone to defeat Trump because “he has a strong, loyal base” and “it’s hard to beat a sitting president.”

The comments were made in excerpts released by CNN of an interview on The Axe Files, set to air in full Saturday.

Senate Judiciary Committee chair Lindsey Graham is asking for all documents and communications related to discussions about removing Donald Trump from office under the 25th amendment.

Graham made the request in a letter Friday to Attorney General William Barr, the Washington Post reported.

Top law enforcement officials discussed using the 25th amendment, which allows a president to be removed if he is unfit to perform his duties, former FBI acting director Andrew McCabe has said.

Graham wrote that he would investigate “what amounts to a coup,” according to the Post.

Beto O’Rourke belonged to the oldest group of computer hackers in US history when he was a teenager, he told Reuters in a new interview.

O’Rourke was part of Cult of the Dead Cow, which released tools that allowed ordinary people to hack Windows computers, and coined the term “hacktivism.”

why doesn’t Low Energy Jeb do it himself?

For exactly that reason. Donald J. Trump makes the Energizer Bunny look like an anemic sloth. Trump just keeps on going and going....

When Jeb was running for governor of Florida and when he was running for reelection, he and his allies went to great lengths to prevent anyone from running against him in the GOP primary.

“Jeb Bush calls on Republicans to challenge Trump in 2020”

Well, Yeb!, if it’s THAT important, why don’t you challenge him yourself instead of whining that some OTHER loser should give it a whirl?

Sigh. We WERE given a choice and we chose TRUMP. Go take a hike, Jeb.

Low energy Jeb, still holding a grudge.

Spent $150,000,000 in the primaries, won THREE delegates. BWAH HAH HAH HAH!

March 2019 Gallup polls show 90 percent of Republicans support Trump—NINETY PERCENT!

Jebbie has clearly made a psychotic break from reality. He needs to check himself into a mental health facility, get treatment for his delusions.
