Jeb Bush is "en el ataque."
That's Spanish for "on the attack" -- and the former Florida governor certainly is, as he confronted and mocked businessman Donald Trump in English and Spanish on Tuesday.
-snip-
But in Spanish, in response to questions from Spanish-speaking reporters, his tone and choice of words was sharper.
"He attacks me every day. He attacks me every day with barbarities," Bush said in Spanish in response to a question. "They’re not true. What we did today was to put out in his words to show that he’s not conservative. He supports people like Nancy Pelosi. He’s given money to Hillary Clinton. He was a Democrat longer than Republican. He’s said that he’s more comfortable being a Democrat. He doesn’t have a record, because he hasn’t been a person who has served like me, who served for eight years as governor. He’s not a conservative. That’s my point."
"He’s not conservative. He doesn’t have a career that you could say is conservative," Bush said later in Spanish. "And beyond that, he personalizes everything. If you’re not totally in agreement with him, you’re an idiot, or stupid, or you don’t have energy or 'blah blah blah.' That’s what he does. That doesn’t work – there are millions of people who today are thinking that their future isn't the way it should be."

I was young then, but I think the two were campaigning in Spanish Harlem. Their audience were Puerto Rican’s.
I thought to myself right then and there, “oh wow, that's pandering at the gutter level ,,, Lord help us, if campaigning in Spanish, ever becomes the norm.”
Well, here it is, 55 years later.
Bush is playing "paddy cake" with Trump and I predict that Bush is gonna get his nose broken and likely very severely.
“Former Secretary Clinton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracy,” said National Constitution Center Chairman Governor Jeb Bush. “These efforts as a citizen, an activist, and a leader have earned Secretary Clinton this year’s Liberty Medal.”
Well I think it’s safe to say everyone knows Jeb Bush’s true colors..... He loves the status quo. He thinks Ameerica is on the right path. This is why Jeb is not flying.
Thus, why the Establishment has rolled Romney, the 2012 Republican Establishment loser, back out of the closet.
I can’t remember the last candidate that I have seen that is as un-presidential as Jeb Bush is. He’s on the defensive, all the time. He whines. He tells us how we can’t do this or that, because it’s too hard. He doesn’t appear to stand for anything other than being a cheering squad for illegal-alien immigrants. Americans aren’t big on political dynasties, and a third anybody feels that way. He comes off as a man of inaction, a man with no plan or ideas other than playing footsie with Democrats, with whom he does not seem to differ perceptibly.
I’m beginning to wonder if the GOPe high-and-mighty have found some way to profit from losing elections. They can’t be *that* stupid. There’s something going on here that we’re not seeing, to be running guys like Jeb and Lindsey Graham.
I wonder how many of them are Long-March liberals?
And- I utterly reject and resent Jeb Bush calling *anyone* else out for a lack of Conservative principles.
Sad but true, Onyx.
Remember this old commercial?
"I'm Jebito the Scammer, and I've come to say..."
This looks like a dying gasp from the Jebba. Yep, Jeb is going down.
I agree. Jeb is playing with the bull and will very soon get the horn.
Jeb should run for office in Mexico.
He could be Mexico’s Obama.
Yeb spends all of his time giving speeches in Spanish....and wonders why everyday Americans reject him and his policies. Idiot.
Absolutely no one, no one, I talk to wants Jeb Bush for anything.
The best line I’ve heard this election cycle about him:
“Jeb Bush- the ‘frontrunner’ that nobody’s voting for”.
Yeb is taking advice from Jorge Ramos to do speeches in spanish. Hanging his hopes on the 11% hispanic voting pool.
I’m so tired of hearing this false claim that Trump has been a life long Dem. It’s completely false! Look it up people, it’s a typical tactic with the canard of saying a lie long enough...blah blah blah.
Is this guy for real? Maybe somebody should see if JEB! is actually an American citizen. This clown sounds more and more like a paid shill for la raza, and/or the mexican government every time he opens his mouth.
The bush clan has a major presence in central/south america. Something to look into for sure.
I know, but that’s what we get here on FR. Have to educate these people. Trump was a registered D for 8 years only. The other 51 years of his voting availability has been R, I and Reform Party (4 years only, I think).
Everyone I talk to is supporting Trump and have expressed their disdain and disgust for gutless, lying, hypocritical DC politicians from both parties. Boner and Turtle Face disgust everyone. I’ve even talked to Democrats, lifelong Democrats, who are supporting Trump. I talk politics all the time and I have found absolutely no one who even mentions Jeb Bush except to say no more Bushes in office. Been there; done that.
Jebbie should be labeled the Mexican candidate and, as such, his eligibility should be satirically but often questioned.
