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.”

“Baffoon”?!?

Is that from some obscure Mexican dialect? Jeb! would know...

Baffoon, as in up,up and away, in my beautiful buffoon. Just like a lighter-than-air buffoon, Mr Trump's approval numbers keep rising.

And, like a lead buffoon, Mr. Jeb's are not.

Jeb. Always clumsy. Now desperate. Makes for sloppy. Leads to fail.

Jeb. He has the same first name as a Confederate hero. If the Republicans run him, they're racists.

You know we'll really hear this if it happens.

It only took a couple YEARS but Little Jebbie has finally gotten the message.
Just like a spoiled little kid, he has a mental breakdown over the truth.

Perhaps a new party can arise with Trump and Cruz as his V.P. I would prefer Cruz as President, however, we the people are so pissed off a Trump/Cruz ticket would be acceptable. 'F' Bernie Sanders😈

The GOPe Clown Posse (no offense to Clown Posse band) is trying to get under Trump’s skin before the debates. Get him agitated so he will lose his cool.

To me, this is an endorsement of Trump.

Has Jebby said anything today since this came out?

“Translation:

Bush is getting DESPERATE.”

Translation: The establishment did a psychological profile on Trump and figured by going Cloward Piven on him he won’t be able to process everything. Especially on a stage in front of millions and he has no debate skills.

They want Trump to spout ah ah ah ah ah tonight so they can say he couldn’t handle the pressure. Trump’s best defense tonight is when introduced, that everyone on the stage for being a loyal Republican and just another establishment loser that will be selected for dismantling by the Democrat challenger.

Perhaps this is an effort to get a rise out of Trump in debate tonight. Who knows how true it is. LOL

My thoughts too. A Left wing attempt to rile up the debate and make it a side show. Trump will be well mannored tonight, Bush will do his usual mistatements and garbling.

The left is trying to goad Trump into a fit of rage; self-destruct mode. Ain’t gonna happen. He’s too smart to fall for their traps.

Trump will have a hard time not lashing out tonight. I have no doubt his advisers have drilled it into him that he must remain gentlemanly and courteous, although he'll probably slip just a bit BUT THAT'S WHAT'S MADE HIM POPULAR!!!

"TONE" SCHMONE!!!

“I’ve been wondering if Jeb has been jilted for Kasich by the GOPe.”

Kasich only has to open his mouth tonight and Fox News will proclaim him the winner. The event is being held in his backyard and he used to work for Fox. Let’s count how many times he says “I” tonight. That’s something he has in common with Barry.

No debate skills? How does a negotiator not have debate skills?

I predict Kasich, starts all his responses with, “look, blah blah blah.”

“Someone this lethargic this early on is yet another bad sign for Bush3.”

Second THAT! Is there something wrong with Jeb? I mean so far he is so slow running mentally and physically, he borders on the seeming need for anti-depressants, or something.

If this this is something that privilege and being bank rolled beyond your dreams has caused, it certainly isn’t very attractive is it? WTH is propping up his stinking poll numbers anyway? Democrats?

He needs to cook it tonight, or he may well be done, politically. This low performance looks unsalvageable to me, money or no money.
