Theres been a startling development in the 2016 campaign over the last day or so: Jeb Bush is trying to display what you and I might call an emotion.
The former governor of Florida had clearly planned to do without the pesky things during his run for the presidency, but that was before Donald Trump came in and messed everything up. Trump saw a big target on Bushs back and has been shooting arrows into it remorselessly, so Bush has decided to lead an angry, forceful counterattack.
Never mind that Jeb Bush on the attack does not exactly bring to mind Henry V at Agincourt. The man is trying. His main method is to point out that Trump has been all over the map ideologically. Hes released a video full of clips where Trump says hes from (gasp!) New York and praises Hillary Clinton. Hes put a quiz on his website where he asks you if youd rather have a super-cool dude who hates Iran and stuff as president or someone who loves abortions and is a germophobe when it comes to shaking hands. (If you couldnt guess, Trump hates shaking hands. Jeb Bush wants you to know that he will shake your hand so much that it detaches from your wrist if you ask him to.) And Jebs got yet another video of himself telling Sean Hannitysubtle, Jeb, real subtlehow right-wing he is.
But Bush isnt just going after Trump on the digital front. Hes also having something of a raging public breakdown about his rival. Take this jaw-dropper of a kicker from a story in Wednesdays New York Times:

Maybe if he would campaign in English?
Maybe if he would campaign in English?
Campaigning in English is too hard for Jeb.
He seems to be pretty bad at everything he does...
Jeb Bushleague would be really bad at BEING President.
True, he is low energy.
That also applied to McCain and Romney.
I see a pattern developing...
Fredo Bush has been exposed.
The little secret no one remembers is he was bad at running for governor, too. He just benefited from the Bush brand riding high at the time. Now, he has to fight against a brand that has tanked and he doesn’t have the chops.
oh my a quote - Donald Trump shuffles out there like a fascist, Vegas-era Frank Sinatra and runs rings around him.
Then suggests jebbie take a therapist with him. Lolol.. The left can be so much badder than the right.......
recommend NYT link, warms my heart.
Hebbie should just take Columba and move back to Meh-Hee-Co where he won’t have to worry about American citizens who want a president who will enforce our laws.
I don’t think he’d do all that good a job of being President.
jebBlue!
That’s an apt simile. He *IS* FRedo.
Spañol será la lengua oficial.
Don’t you just love the way Trump gives these people enough rope and they hang themselves???
I have been doing a lot of watching not only with the candidates but with the talking heads and msm’s and people on here, and there is one thing that stands out:
Donald.Trump.Is.Driving.Idiots.Crazy!!!
Jebby is going to have a serious break down in a few weeks, he’s not made for these type of politics, and neither are the others (excluding Cruz and Carson)...
Politics are to be run differently, the talking heads, msm’s and the GOPee says this is who we are to elect and by damn that’s who you vote for, and here comes Trump and upends the whole apple cart....
Saturday when he was in North Carolina, he hasn’t been really heard of, bits and pieces, but he hasn’t been full face like he was, and everybody is going insane...
Then he puts out a tid bit here and a tid bit there and everybody goes 180 over it...
I can’t get enough of this, I just sit back and laugh and read some more....I hope the rest of you are enjoying this as much as I am....
Jeb’s biggest mistake is hiring incompetent staff. The most important job of a president is hiring staff. So we see the incompetence of his staff who seem to be in it for the quick money and conclude Jeb would make an incompetent president.
