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.”

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

That’s the thing. He is a negotiator going up against 8 people (Carson is the other non-pol) who spend their lives debating. Negotiating a contract is not the same thing as getting a question you cannot respond to from Megyn Kelley without coming off looking like a buffoon.

Bush used those words today against Trump to force him into a response which is going to stay with him the rest of this primary.

It goes to show how far out of touch the elitist and the establishment are to think that another Bush could run and win.

Bush his brother and father are not even poplar with the base let alone non party voters.

On target

Trump keeps repeating he is not a debater. Expect something out of the box. He has set it up.

is this a set up so that jbush will faux apologize and attempt to look like a “bigger man” by apologizing?

Bush3 (hahahaha, good one) is the worst of the three Bushes, and let's thank God for that.

I won't go into why, have done so way too often, but he's one of the worst candidates out there, simply pathetic.

Not only that, there are a few pretty darn good candidates running against him at the same time. The other two better Bushes (? Better than Bush3) had no decent opposition to speak of.

I have to say, I look forward to this event tonight, we likely won't see much, but I am hoping for a Jeb momma melt down on the order of Perry last time. I don't think Bush3 can win this, not for a minute.

Your preaching to a choir member. When spreading the word in your precinct remind your primary voter of Jeb’s role as a distibuter of funds in an agency financing population control and baby parts selling .

I am not so sure FOX panelists will treat them with any more respect than the leftist socialist panelists we have always suffered.

Didn't Chris Wallace already hint that they had a secret weapon to shut Trump down if he goes rogue tonight?

I agree with you. I don't think our candidates will get much better treatment from the Fox talking heads, than from the CNN variety.

Yeah, I was wondering what you thought about this bright idea of “moderate” “journalists” running a Republican debate.

I will fall over if this is any advantage whatsoever. Probably the whole thing is over-hyped. Someone said there will be more than an hour all together where candidates will not be speaking at all. I think it may have been Rush. With opening features, commercial breaks, long winded questions, and ten other candidates yakking it up for their due moment, each will be in time out.

I have no trust in show horse Megyn at all, and Chris is a pro also, known to cause no small amount of trouble to conservatives. He’s just not so unnecessarily prickly as Kelly often likes to be. I am on pins and needles.

My prediction is that Fox News is working to bring down Trump. I think Meagan Kelly`s biggest wish tonight is to be given thumbs up by the sluts on The View (that I dont watch btw)

Frank Luntz being allowed to promote a Anti Trump focus group that was stacked 2-1 against Trump, I know this because Sean asked Luntz on the first night, but never asked him again last night, so anybody turning in last night had no idea the group was 2-1 against Trump, all they saw was a lot of people hating on Trump, so dishonest.

Carl Roves post in one of the liberal rags this morning, then running with the story this morning on Fox with Steve Hayes .

Yes I think Kelly wants praise from liberal woman at the other networks, it`s all about her. Hey Chris Wallace is a total loser lib, he will love it.

So we have the most fair and balanced guy in Bret, but remember he hosts the anti Palin anti Tea Party anti Social Conservative anti Trump Special report panel

Meagan is going to be asking all the questions the girls on the View would want asked, it`s going to be pathetic

I hope to be proven wrong

Wait, What? I thought "they all" wanted Bush as the Designated Loser from the Pubbies this time. I am so confused.

Politico doesn't care which Pubbie loses...as long as they lose. They're just hoping the R's will all fight and claw each other's eyes out.
