Bush: ‘Absolutely’ offended by Trump’s comments on Mexicans
Washington Post ^ | July 4 2015 | Ed O'Keefe

MERRIMACK, N.H. -- Jeb Bush says he's "absolutely" personally offended by Donald Trump's recent incendiary comments about Mexico and immigrants coming from the country.

Bush, the former Florida governor whose wife is from Mexico, made his comments about Trump to reporters at the end of two Independence Day parades in the first-in-the-nation primary state.

"I don’t think he represents the Republican Party, and his views are way out of the mainstream of what Republicans think," Bush said. "No one suggests that we shouldn’t control our borders – everybody has a belief that we should control our borders. But to make these extraordinarily ugly kind of comments is not reflective of the Republican Party. Trump is wrong on this."

“Well then, Jeb!

Pack up your toys and don’t play anymore.”

Well then, Jeb, move to Mexico. You can be Presidente there, just not here.

Maybe he can finally bring out his wife to show the rest of us what upstanding people Mexicans are...even if they try to cheat customs out of thousands on designer clothes that she is sneaking in.

Somebody better ask Bush to quote Donald Trump word for word.

Not the Liberal Media “interpretation” and enhanced Editing, the actual quote or quotes of Trump’s remarks.

I’ll bet a dollar to a donut, Jeb couldn’t quote Donald Trump word for word.

Trumps comments are strong and not normally said by politicians. But does that make him wrong?? Do we have a porous border? Are Mexico and other countries sending their best and brightest or people who add to the poverty roles here? Are they sending people in compliance with our already generous immigration laws, or are these people violating our immigration laws?? Do we need millions of people from other countries to make our economy function, or are we adding low skilled low income people to compete with millions of native born American workers???

These are all questions worthy of discussion in politcal campaigns. Let’s talk. And not get side tracked over whether Trump is politically incorrect.

She was the American Citizen MURDERED by an Illegal Alien yesterday while walking with her father on the Embarcadero in San Francisco. It did get some mention in lame stream national news and has gotten widespread news coverage by conservative news organizations.

The Illegal Alien had been deported four times previously and was recently released from jail in San Francisco for drug charges instead of handed over to ICE - ICE had an immigration warrant but he was released onto the streets instead of handed over to ICE when his sentence was up.

“Who is this girl? Why is she the only response needed?”

She was just murdered a day or two ago by an Illegal Mexican Alien who had been deported 7 times from the U.S. Happened in San Fran, CA. Where you been?

Oh No! Bush III should just move back to Mexico. I’d still like to know if his original move to Mexico in 1971 was to avoid the draft. Any know?

Jeb has no idea what mainstream America and the Republicans thick. Get you head out that hole. Even if you get the nomination, highly unlikely, I will write in my own name for president.

I think he made a severe error in saying what he did about Mexican-Americans," Romney said, according to CNN.

Come on, Mitt, Trump's remarks were about illegal aliens, not about Mexican-Americans. You should know better.
