REPUBLICAN CIVIL WAR: BUSH SAYS TRUMP 'BAFFOON' A 'CLOWN' AN '***HOLE'

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/08/gop-2016-debate-jeb-bush-donald-trump-121076.html#.VcNyqktq5SE

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.

“Seriously, what’s this guy’s problem?” he asked one party donor he ran into recently according to accounts provided by several sources close to Bush—and he went on to describe the publicity seeking real estate developer now surging in public polls far ahead of Bush and all the 15 others in the Republican field as “a buffoon,” “clown” and “***hole.”

How Presidential. NOT. Which is one of the things we DON’T like about Trump. At least me, anyway. I think Trump needs a vocabulary upgrade. At this point he should have writers coining terms for those in authority who don’t know what they are doing. Calling them “Jebs” for instance.

Barack Hussein’s administration is completing their agenda very well and we need someone as sly as she is to undo all that has been done. If Trump can truly get the best of the best on his side, then fine, because Trump is a CEO not the head of the nuclear science department.

As Rush has discussed before, a Bush/Clinton or Clinton/Bush ticket would be very formidable at election time. They might as well, there is not a lick of difference, and separately, neither one is going to get their party’s nomination.

Great ticket for the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Ohio. All our Mexicans here would jump right on that ticket.

I first read that as Kucinich/Rubio

And with Clinton stumbling so badly, where's the groundswell of popular support for the little guy from my hometown?

Looks like the Donald found the perfect Jebby buttons to push for self ejection from the Primaries.

I thought that was the nick names of Poppy, his son, and Poppy’s adopted son Little Billy Jeff.

“Here is is playing Pals with the guy who blames his brother for everything...”

Inthe former Soviet Union whenever a new leader took over they always blames any problems on the former leader no matter who started the program.

So Bush is well aware of what his friends, the Obama’s are doing to him.

Trump approaches confrontation like an internet troll and a MASTER level troll at that. It is simply impossible to defeat a troll by going after him, calling him names. Bush - and anyone who attacks Trump - are playing directly into his hands.

The are two ways they’re going to defeat Trump:

1) If Trump implodes on his own
2) If they can get into a substantive policy debate and show Trump for the political newbie he is

#1 is possible but unlikely
#2 would require them to debate like grown ups and I don’t see that happening either.

In fact, the only one on that stage who really could go after Trump on policy - without looking like they’re attacking him personally - is Cruz and it seems Trump and Cruz have a gentleman’s agreement (or something stronger).

“I hears a pundit on Fox & Friends this morning who said he thinks it will be a Kasich/Rubio ticket. Just reporting what I heard.”

Interesting.

Kasich is going to be the next one the Republicrats will push, promote, pamper and present to us with a ribbon around his big dumb head.

Like the hard Left Kasich thinks conservatives are the problem and if only we all play nice everything will get all better.

Trump or Cruz should put an early end to that tonight.

TO JEB BUSH:

Jeb: If your nannies read this for you, let them tell you that we hate you. Most every one of us excepting a few old RINOs. We hate you and your sorry family of Rockefeller Republicans and what you did to the party of RR. His biggest mistake being the selection of your father as his VP. Go back down to Florida, fight with Charley Crist to see who is the bigger phony and leave us the **** alone.
