Republican presidential contender Jeb Bush called Donald Trump's candidacy a "phenomenon," and said his outspoken rival has "appealed to people's anger" as he has skyrocketed to the top of the polls.
"I was surprised that Donald Trump has surged. I think he's captured the deep frustration that people feel," Bush told NBC News' Lester Holt in an exclusive interview on Friday.
Trump — who kicked off his campaign with controversial comments accusing Mexico of sending its rapists and murderers to the U.S. — has a large lead over the GOP presidential field, a Quinnipiac poll released Thursday showed.
"I get the lack of rule of law, the sanctuary cities, the open borders," the former Florida governor said. "He's, in a very graphic way, appealed to people's anger about those things. And I think it's important to be respectful of that. Make the case that we can fix these things. And over time, the Trump phenomenon will either succeed or fail based on his proposals."

Bush added that he had no qualms about going head-to-head with Trump or any other Republican candidates — including his protege, Marco Rubio — in presidential debates.
"I'm a big boy," he said. "I'll be showing up with my big boy pants on."

It’s also making me cry..
“Jeb Bush called Donald Trump’s candidacy a “phenomenon,” and said his outspoken rival has “appealed to people’s anger” as he has skyrocketed to the top of the polls.”
Yes, anger at politicians like you, Jeb.
LOL...........this is just fun watching them get their panties in a wad over Trump.
The fact that Bush is surprised by Trump’s surge is another reason why Amnesty Jeb doesn’t deserve the nomination.
ROFLOL!!!
Haha, so he admits that he only puts his “big boy pants” on for special occasions. We really need to match that quote with a photoshop of the Jebster in short pants with a big lollipop and a beanie with a propeller on it.
I like this part:
“I think he’s captured the deep frustration that people feel,”
Yeah. the frustration the feel with POLITICIANS LIKE YOU, JEB.
Should have described it as "Phenomenal"
“Awww, but I’m going to be standing behind a podium... nobody will see them anyway!”
Exactly correct!!!!
As if anger is an inherently bad emotion. Moron.
Sing it Jebra...
I’ll bet you think he could do better if only he started delivering his speeches in Spanish.
I think it is anger at McConnell and Boner
Trespassers. Used to be they’d be shot on sight. Anyway, yeb boosh and lester dolt on air at the same time? What a brain trust that is.
