Just imagine if Billy Bush had remembered his talk with Donald Trump in time to help Jeb
Donald Trump’s lewd 2005 talk with Billy Bush — in which he talked about getting away with groping women because he is “a star” — isn’t going to help his presidential campaign.
Just imagine if anyone had discovered it in the primaries, when Trump easily outmaneuvered ex-Florida Gov. Jeb Bush by calling him “low-energy.” It might have buried the Trump candidacy before Trump won the nomination.
Adding insult to Jeb’s injury: Billy Bush is his cousin.
Rather than sticking up for Billy, Jeb used the scandal as a chance to make a dig at Trump, tweeting after the tape was released: “As the grandfather of two precious girls, I find that no apology can excuse away Donald Trump’s reprehensible comments degrading women,” he wrote in a tweet that Hillary Clinton then retweeted.

Meanwhile, CBS managing editor for politics Will Rahn took to Twitter to imagine an awkward moment at the Bush compound:

In a conversation released Friday, Trump boasted about groping women, saying that “when you’re a star, they let you do anything.”
“I’m automatically attracted to beautiful women — I just start kissing them, it’s like a magnet,” Trump told Billy Bush, the “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush in a conversation that was caught on a hot mic.
“I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything,” he said. “Grab ‘em by the pussy.”
It is also very Romney-esk to unload this kind of thing the day before a debate.
I feel nothing but contempt for the entire Bush family.
Trump: “...they let you do it...”
Clinton just rapes them.....
He’s funny. Timing? Blacks are never do wells. Compare them to moozlems and gypsies. Gets $200k a pop to say it.
Jeb knew about this tape. He has known about it.
Someone should ask Jeff how long he’s not about the tape.
He owns it.
Don't make excuses, just let him explain it to the American people and deal with it.
A total non issue, IMHO.
A little hint here-
It's going to be as big an issue as Donald trump lets it be.
Lets hope he does not let it become a big one
I’m a woman and have been hit on plenty in my lifetime. None of this nonsense offends me. Some men just talk like this when they get together.
Stacked up against serial forcible rape and pedophilia, Trump’s comments are pretty tame.
I am livid that two faced Paul Ryan wimped out of his appearance with Trump tomorrow. That was an important event.
Trump apologises over lewd comments

I agree the Bush’s knew this was coming. Jeb! Was awfully quick to chime in.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they were in on it.
Billy Bush wouldn’t have access to the tape. From what I understand, they were miked up to do a segment for some daytime soap. The producers of the soap opera would have been the ones with the recording.
Someone should ask Jeb how long he’s kniwn about the tape.
He should be asked when did he exactly know about it.
Don’t ever vote for another Bush. They are definitely in bed with the Clintons, the most corrupt politicians in the history of our country.
Who taped this and who released it?
Who is this?
The producers and the Washington Post.
No they were rigged for “Access Hollywood”, of which Bush was a host.
Bush would know about it.
