Trump in Iowa: Jeb's 'Skin in the Game' Iraq Comment Was One of the ‘Dumbest’ Statements Ever

Today, Trump slammed Jeb for trying to justify what he says is an unjustifiable war:

“He said ‘skin in the game.’ I don’t know if you saw his recent statement…We’ve spent two trillion dollars, thousands of lives lost, wounded warriors who I love all over the place. And he said we have to prove we have skin in the game. I think it may be one of the dumbest statements I ever heard.”

Trump concluded that thought by saying Jeb should apologize to the families affected by the war.

Jeb seemed to be one of Trump’s favorite targets at the fair. The latter also accused him of being a ‘puppet to his donors.’

Jeb does not seem to have his heart in the race

You assume he has a heart, thinking back to Terri Schiavo?

Jeb’s personality is too laid back so ‘fire in the belly” isn’t going to happen much to speak of.....I have a friend like that, the biggest response you’ll get out of this individual is a broad smile when ‘really’ excited.

Jeb said.....”This is kind of a tough game for me to be playing, to be honest with you,” .... “I’m my own person.”

That says it all - “tough game.” He doesn’t want the job - he is in over his head and knows it, and so do we.

Look who is talking? Donald Trump said Pamela Geller “taunted everybody” as regards those Garland, Texas Islamic terrorists and Pamela Geller’s would be murderers. Donald Trump is not fit to be President. A coward is bad enough, but a coward such as Trump who talks tough is really nauseating.

Heard him say that. But when you listen to Trump the only thing you can say for certain about what he’d do is that he’d build the wall. Everything else’s he says is just what he’s against and who he’s against. No sense of what he’d do about those things. Just that he’s against them.

Jeb isn’t that bright. And, it’s becoming apparent with greater and greater clarity.

But, by golly he looks so smart!

Well he is the reluctant candidate that’s for sure....but there were other Presidents early on who also were likewise...so I don’t underestimate who will support him along the way even if he’s not ‘exciting”.

For years I’ve heard Mark Levin say that Jeb is the dumbest of all the Bushes.

I can’t agree....Trumps said outright he’s not about to let his plans out this early on...and neither are the other candidates much to speak of. But frankly he’s given more details than most ‘if you listen’....

Probably true,but it’s Jeb.

Therefore, even dumber statements to follow.

I would wager that Hillary’s “lemonade” is mostly vodka. And it’s not mixing well with the massive quantity of blood thinners in her body.

Somehow, Jeb found it necessary to announce who would be his foreign policy advisor—Brent Scowcroft. Yep, in his Dad’s 80’s image.

Then there's Trump waving to fairgoers as he walks down the concourse......

Shaking hands along the way and watching the kiddies go up in the helicopter

Note police and private security protection
