Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) is clearly tired of talking about rival presidential candidate Donald Trump.
In a Fox News interview on Wednesday, Bush dismissed two questions about the real-estate magnate whose controversial immigration comments have drawn reams of headlines.
Asked about Trump's success in the polls, Bush replied: "I don't know if he's having success. We'll see in the long haul."
Bush was then pressed if he felt Trump's candidacy was harming the broader Republican Party. He declined to answer.
"I've already stated my views about Donald Trump," he said.
With some light prodding, Bush said he wouldn't be drawn into a "food fight" with someone who won't win the election.
"I'm done. I'm through. I gave my views. I just think that we need to be much more hopeful and optimistic about our ideology," he continued. "We should focus on that on and not get into a food fight that only brings energy to someone who I doubt will be president and is not a constructive force for our party."

Hie terrible answer lends insight into hsi lack of ability to be creative. He could have used the questions as a launching point to highlight something, or thank him for his contributions to the debate, or anything. Instead he uses a low IQ answer - he won’t win so I won’t answer.
What a loser.(as Trump would say)
Jeb should have learned from Cruz how to answer a question or jab about or from an opponent like the way he handled Christie’s comments.

Ok, how about this one.
Jeb, why don't you take off your underwear and put on a set of panties.

Trump is doing a great service for the Republic. He's forcing the "professional politicians" to speak clearly and directly or shut up. Because they can do neither ... and because truth and candor nearly always conflicts with political calculations (on which professional politicans exist), their duplicitousness is exposed fully.
Keep up the fine work, Donald!

This report tries to discredit Trump, and is publish all over the world in Spanish.
They do not have this report in Spanish yet, but it's all over Latin America papers in Spanish
La Prensa is from Honduras.
The target is Trump, they are trying to show he is a liar.

Univision said that " Immigrants commit fewer crimes than native-born," but they do not
show the difference between legal and illegal immigrants, here is the intention against what Trump said.
I believe this is some kind of front for progressives or socialists.
Also today another front talking about all immigrants from Mexico when Trump spoke about illegals.
DC WASHINGTON, July 9, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Greater Washington Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (GWHCC) would like to show its support and validate the sentiments of the Hispanic community in light of Mr. Donald Trump's, Chairman and President of The Trump Organization and founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts, recent comments about Mexican immigrants.

Inversely a Yeb Bush nomination will drive down GOP turnout to below what McAmnesty got.
A third party run by some one like Trump will result in the GOP placing third.

The RNC are experts at nominating candidates their base loathes. Blue states early and open primaries in red states. They have the playbook almost perfected after McAmnesty and Romneycare.

"Asked about Trump's success in the polls, Bush replied: "I don't know if he's having success. We'll see in the long haul."" I guess JEB! must be planning on spending a lot of Mississippi walking around money for votes. Especially in those early cross over states like South Carolina. But you can be sure that the going price is probably more than Mississippi's $25.00 per vote.

I was walking through my living room yesterday and I thought I heard Jebby in an interview claim that he tried to save Terri. Is Jebby trying to rewrite history, trying to recast himself from the role of murderer to the role of would-be savior?

To comment on Trump—it wouldn’t be prudent.

Jeb, why stop playing stupid for the Left now? You have already fallen into the trap of making a butt of yourself and the party. I’m sure you are an expert at it.
To: tennmountainman
If Jeb thinks Trump is wrong, why not continue to confront Trump, Jeb?
It has to do with not being George.
Jeb is the second son. The first son wasn't shy or self-conscious. He was adventurous, a little domineering, and apt to get into trouble.So Jeb was hesitant, retiring, self-doubting -- the reserved and dutiful one.
If you liked Jeb (as his parents did) you might think of him as thoughtful or sensitive. If you didn't, you'd think of him as indecisive and dithering. Anyway, it's hard to shake the faint-hearted, non-confrontational thing after you hit 60.

Boy ain’t THAT the truth. Well said.

Bush was then pressed if he felt Trump's candidacy was harming the broader Republican Party. He declined to answer. In other words, jeb stopped talking. You could say he went dumb.
jeb bush is a maggot.
