Bush: A Republican will never win by striking fear in people's hearts. (Compares Trump to Obama)
Real Clear Politics ^ | July 14, 2015

Posted on 07/15/2015 6:51:13 AM PDT by Din Maker

BUSH: On our side there are people that prey on people’s fears and their angst as well. I don’t know about you, but I think it is wrong. I believe we need to unify our country. We need to stop tearing—separating ourselves by race and ethnicity and income. We need to focus on the things that tie us together. And whether it’s Donald Trump or Barack Obama their rhetoric of divisiveness is wrong. A Republican will never win by striking fear in people’s hearts. A Republican can win, and will win, if we have an aspirational message that gives people hope that their lives will be better when we apply conservative principles the right way.

How stupid can this guy be? He says Trump can't win and then he compares him to a guy who won two times?

Why not, fear seems to work very well for the Democrats.

It’s worked for the Democrats for years....and they weren’t even spewing legitimate fears.

Yet he supports Common Core which deprives children of free thought and smothers them in liberal propaganda. He is a detriment to freedom.

Does he think he sounds inspiring?

Nice words, signifying nothing because unfortunately for Jeb we have eyes, we can see.

Jeb and these Repubs just have NO FIGHT in them at all. What world do they think we are living in today? I mean how much of a wimp is this guy?

My thoughts exactly! I was going to say that, but, I had already posted 2 comments. But, you’re correct. The Dems have nothing to run with except the “fear factor”.

I think Americans are SO dummied down by now that they are impervious to ‘fear’.

Otherwise, they would never have elected the RE elected the guy MOST dangerous to US sovereignty and domestic stability.

Generations who are living in the ‘free stuff’ bubble are unaware that they SHOULD fear of a system large enough to give them SO much for free.

‘A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take it all away from you.’

No, they have plenty of fight in them when the target is conservative issues.

IIRC, Ronald Reagan put the fear of God into a lot of folks.

My biggest fear is another blue-blood Republican as the presidential nominee.

I suspect that Jeb is as stupid as he seems.

Not enough now, hence the “need” to import a new “voting” base from south of the border. The politicians choose their electors rather than the other way around.

Bush is a word shill ... the word 'fear' gets connected to Trump

It doesn't have to actually MEAN anything ... just get the word out there

THIS is why I work to stop commie core and all the other dumbing down tactics of the government indoctrination centers ....

People don't readily pick up on falacy and lies.


Want proof?

Go to the store, swipe your card (which means steal your card ... but that's another lesson for another day) ...

The machine asks; "Is $125.78 OK?"

And even though you have no idea if it is or not ... you push "yes" ... ( for convenience sake)


May I have your name?
No, I'm married


Is your phone number ### ### ####
Uhhh ... you DID call me, didn't you ?


Unless people like me continue to voice these things out loud, "they" will get away with destroying the ability to think

I’m afraid, JEB! I’m afraid that you and your perverted globalist cronies will drag us into WW3, a global currency and the New World Order. Isn’t that what you scum always want?

Fear? Trump is talking reality. Illegals are committing many atrocious crimes now and have in the past. Fear?? This is reality. Fear is what we have when we think of Jeb or Hillary as president. My tagline is what we fear!
