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.”

I feel that way about a lot of religion books.

“...while they fought Barack Obama”

Now, who are we talking about? If any governor has been fighting Obama, I’d hate to see what surrendering looks like.

[X-spurt]

Would suspect that CSPAN will carry live also. Maybe not.

[Unrepentant VN Vet]

LOL

Just makes me wonder about the names Jeb (and most of the rest of ‘em) apply in private to voters like me.

No big deal.

Been called so many names over the last 40 years I just tune out the slander right along with its source.

...okay, now what’s that guy’s name again?

[stillfree?]

Oh that’s so mean spirited of him. I feel a quiet confidence when Trump says things that career politicians can’t.

[xzins]

I watched Bush hopelessly trying to string a real sentence together when explaining why the “bush name” shouldn’t matter. Then I watched him reading a pre-scripted speech and stumbling over his own speech.

He’s another Bushie who doesn’t even rise to the level of the others. He is definitely dynasty’s child claiming the Bush white house ‘thingie’ that belongs to his family and is his turn to play with.

[Cheerio]

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.

Another Obamacare lover in the mold of Mittens.

Gov. Kasich has a $14 billion Obamacare problem

Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s habit of telling voters “Ohio money” pays for his Obamacare Medicaid expansion is about to catch up to him.

To silence conservative critics, Kasich says Obamacare expansion is bringing $14 billion of Ohio money back to Ohio from the federal government.

But that’s not how the expansion works — a fact Kasich’s opponents in a crowded Republican presidential primary are certain to point out.

There is no vault of “Ohio money” set aside to pay for Kasich’s Obamacare expansion, which has already increased federal welfare spending by $4 billion.

Kasich hell no! I hope Trump and Cruz do great tonight!

[demshateGod]

“jilted for Kasich by the GOPe”

Walker is the perfect GOPe candidate. He appeals to conservatives, has some credibility and sincerity, but will do nothing to derail their gravy train.

[GOPsterinMA]

Oh ¡Yeb!, nothing turns voters off like the stench of a loser and you need a shower.

[kabar]

Good promo material for the debate. Is this a debate or an WWF event?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Hey, Jeb, it’s spelled B U F F O O N.

You BUFFOON!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Nothing generates gravitas like tossing the “A” word around out there.

[SomeCallMeTim]

The article says recently.

"Recently", to Politico, means anytime in the past 6 months.

[M Kehoe]

as “a buffoon,” “clown” and “asshole.”

Must be very embarrassing and infuriating for Arbusto to get his lunch eatin' by a buffoon/clown.

The moderators may feed Trump the bait.

I'm certain they will... Wallace, for sure.

I hope Trump blows it off...

[hoosiermama]

If moderators bring it up to DT he should say: “are you sure you got that right? MSM misquotes people all the time! Ask Yeb if he actually said that. (Thus transferring the stress to Yeb. )

[liberalh8ter]

That's awesome....and interchangeable with Chris Christie.
