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.”
Bush should just go register as a democrat since everything he believes in is lefty and socialistic. Then he could give Hitlery a run for his/her money. And take Linda Grahamnesty with him.
I heard that Bush went to Mass this morning, the Feast of the Transfiguration of Christ. I still cant understand how he let Terri Schiavo die. And as a Catholic, it makes him less than a coward. Not only a Rino, a Canino.
Jeb is a very weak person. He was too afraid to stand up for the helpless.
Trump is rubber, Bush is glue...
definitely an a$$hole. :)
I suggest he team up with Hillary and run on the same ticket.
The article spells it correctly, so it looks like it was a Drudge error.
If Trump is a Baffoon, Jeb Bush is a Maroon.
I think there trying to Provoke Trump….I think he will act like a statesmen and then say these debates are boring… I may only do a couple more…at my choosing
That’s poll winning baffoon.
I thank God for both Trump and Cruz. But I am not going to endorse anyone this early. My point here is simply to focus attention on the superficiality of the initial Bush support and contrived boom. Trump's ease in knocking Bush down to size has not been lost on anyone who understands the dynamics of a campaign. Even if Trump fades, Bush will never rebound to where he was before the graphic demonstration of his irrelevance.
Post of the year. :)
Interesting how easily the GOPe can sling that invective at Trump, but would never dare use those terms for Obama, Schumer, Reid, Pelosi or any liberal...
I smell FEAR!!!!
“Baffoon”?!?
Is that from some obscure Mexican dialect?
Jeb! would know...
I agree. I believe this to be a set up.
Sounds like when a leftist loses an argument. You are certain that they know they have lost, and they know it, when their frail point crumbles into a million pieces and they call the Conservative a “poopy-pants” or some other childish non-sequitir (racist, denier, Big Oil person, etc.).
So many pigeons strutting around on the chessboard...
buh-BYE! *
If he was in Australia, he's be swirling in the opposite direction.
Do you really think Jeb’s conversion to Catholicism was genuine? I always assumed it was a just political move to play for the Hispanic vote which, for all his pandering, doesn’t seem to be working out so well for him either.
