Jeb Bush: Trump needs Republican challenger in 2020
Fox News ^ | 17 March 2019 | Christopher Carbone

Posted on 03/17/2019 9:21:47 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Jeb Bush believes a Republican should challenge President Trump for the nomination in 2020 — slamming the president's "dangerous" policies on trade and other issues.

In the latest salvo between the two former rivals, Bush, who ran unsuccessfully for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016, made the comments Saturday during an interview with ex-Obama adviser David Axelrod.

Bush, whose father George. H.W. Bush was the 41st president of the United States and his brother, George W. Bush, was the 43rd, reportedly added that Republican voters should be given more of a choice between different ideologies.

"And our country needs to have competing ideologies that people -- that are dynamic, that focus on the world we're in and the world we're moving toward rather than revert back to a nostalgic time," he said on CNN, seeming to take aim at Trump's "Make America Great Again" 2016 slogan.

Bush elaborated about his disagreements with Trump during the interview.

"We haven't had a major crisis to deal with, but this unilateralism or going-alone-ism I think is really dangerous," Bush said of Trump's foreign policy moves, according to The Hill.

"Our friends no longer believe they can trust the United States and our enemies, in many cases, feel emboldened by this approach," he reportedly added. "I think it defies the...bipartisan kind of consensus on foreign policy that has, by and large, kept America safe."

“I think someone should run just because Republicans ought to be given a choice,” Bush said on CNN's "The Axe Files." “It’s hard to beat a sitting president, but to have a conversation about what it is to be a conservative, I think it’s important.”

It’s still hard to believe he did that. He wasn’t joking, either. Gong Show cringe.

The Bushes look worse every day. It seems like it’s been forever since I supported any of them.

Sleep Jeb, or wait, Low Energy Jeb.... go for it.

Burn through another $100,000,000 for 3% of the vote.

The “GOP” needs an excuse for summer fund raising soirees where losers like Jeb Kasich Rubio and Willard can gather to piss and moan about Trump and replenish the bank accounts that fed Fusion GPS

Is he speaking in a vaccuum??? I don’t know of anyone who could hear him. Last I saw of him he was dragging his Mom to that place where 3 people showed up to hear him.

Step right up to the plate and go for it Yeb.
Trump will kick your teeth in even worse than he did last time.
And you got beaten up prett bad last time.
150 million dollars you raised got flushed down the toilet.

Round 2 will be more entertaining than round 1.

Now, now you've forgotten Jebbie's unique genius; after all, what other great statesman, male or female, Democrat or Republican, could have managed to squander more than $150,000,000 of OPM in a primary campaign and only get three delegates in return.

He’s apparently asking, without actually asking, for another $100 - 150 million in order to capture 2 - 3 % of the 2020 primary vote. One suspects the 2016 money he scored is about to run out and he needs a job.

“Going-alone-ism.” Such a wordsmith. Say what you want about the bushes, but none of them could express themselves coherently to save their lives

I suspect the RINO GOP folks will pay some Republicans to run against President to bleed votes and give a win to Dem Party candidate.
