Jeb Bush, the man who would be frontrunner, was as surprised as anybody when Donald Trump jumped into the 2016 presidential race in June. His instinctive first reaction was to hold his tongue, and his advisers agreed the best option was to keep his distance from an interloper who wanted to drag him into a reality-show shouting match.
Bush stayed strategically silent even when Trump delivered his infamous crack that some Mexican immigrants were “rapists.” It wasn’t easy, considering Bush speaks nearly flawless Spanish, backs comprehensive immigration reform and is married to the former Columba Garnica de Gallo of Leon, Mexico.
Like everyone else, Bush soon found Trump impossible to ignore. When Trump reposted a nasty tweet a couple of weeks after his contentious announcement speech— “Bush has to like Mexican illegals because of his wife”—the former Florida governor was forced to respond. “You can love your Mexican-American wife,” he told one interviewer before telling another that Trump was “preying on people’s fears.”
The half-dozen conservative senators and governors who had planned to run before Bush brought out his shock-and-awe fundraising campaign, had to laugh: They viewed Bush himself as an intruder, a political semi-retiree who sat on the sidelines for eight years while they fought Barack Obama. Now it was Bush’s turn to rage at an outsider.

Will someone please explain what makes Bush the supposed “front runner” over Walker, Trump, Cruz and many of the other candidates. The ONLY thing Bush has going for him is his money and his name, NOTHING ELSE. (He does have a nice looking HISPANIC wife)
IMO, Bush is the MEDIA’S choice and they want him running against Hitlary so SHE can win. The rino rats will more than likely select Bush as their “horse” and the REAL conservatives will lose again. Rinos are a bunch of money grabbing dumb asses.

Silent ??? WTF???
Is Jeb running for President of the USA, or Mexico
...the former Florida governor was forced to respond...
WTF??? Jeb initiated the name calling!!
Trump joined the skirmish and returned the jabs
> Bush is the MEDIA’S choice and they want him running against Hitlary so SHE can win
Exactly.
Stop repeating this lie! No wonder why people are sick and tired of Washington and the news media. Trump clearly talked about illegal aliens. It is totally disingenuous for the media to lump all immigrants into what Trump said.
Trump not only dominates Republican candidates in the polls, he's dominating them online, too. Trump was by far the most Googled Republican candidate in the United States during June and July, according to Google Trends data. The only state he didn't lead was Wisconsin, the home state of rival Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. (By Colin Daileda--mashable.com)

“He does have a nice looking HISPANIC wife”
while I agree on your other points, on this we part paths. Columba is not presentable.
Well, I just read my Uniparty propaganda piece for the day.
If the one thing Trump accomplishes is to keep Yebbie off the ticket I’ll be grateful that he decided to do this.
Why does Bush supposedly have “the money” when. Trump can bury him? And if Cruz eventually sends his supporters to Trump, and when Trump’s PACs kick in, it’s not going to be close.
My feelings exactly.
¡Yeb! was supposed to be the Designated Loser.

Jeb has “the money” because the puppet masters have paid for both hillary and Jeb, and they don’t care which one wins if they’re the candidates. The idea of a candidate they don’t own drives the elite insane.
Have you seen Jeb’s wife? She looks like one of the hill trolls from Frozen. If you are going to marry beneath your status, at least don’t go for a total aboriginal.
Trump never said some Mexican “immigrants” were rapists. He said some of the illegal aliens were thugs, murderers, and rapists. And he was right.
The uniparty whores and their media enablers are too smart by half. One thing that they failed to consider in their schemes and prognostications is that they’re recognized and deeply hated. And by hated I don’t mean a passing dislike. I mean a palestinian hatred where winning isn’t so important as making sure the uniparty loses.
