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.’

It’s ironic, considering that Jeb had to have been on a starvation diet just weeks ago.
Well the sooner this is over for Jeb the happier he’s going to be ....he simply would rather be elsewhere then in this election.
There’s men that talk and there’s men that do. One of the latter is worth a thousand of the former. Trump built a $10 billion empire. What has Jeb done?
If it weren’t for his mummy and daddy he’d be anywhere but on the campaign trail. :)
Then you’re having difficulty that you don’t know that you’re having with why this is happening with Trump....there’s a larger picture occuring ...Trump is one of the Players and he’s doing a great job at what he’s suppose to be doing.
It’s been said Presidential campaigns are always won with big-picture ideas articulated with simple, memorable, and disciplined messaging. ...Even in a primary, voters respond more favorably to a candidate with a grand vision of what our country should be than to policy wonks.
Ronald Reagan rarely got down in the weeds in his speeches and debates, always sticking like glue to his overall big picture of ‘the Shining City on a Hill’ that our enemies would respect and our allies would trust.
Trump’s background and style are different from Reagan’s, but his big-picture themes are very similar. Like Reagan, Trump gave voters a clear, simple vision of a great America and pointed out that the stakes are too great to worry about offending those who would make America weaker. Both have used the kind of direct language that makes our enemies and economic competitors nervous.

Yes that’s part of it...but the GOP has to do with as well as the RNC people and big donors who seem to be the ones who “decide’ who should run. I don’t know why he accepted....he’s been reluctant from the get go.
His mother wants a dynasty. She’s the impetus behind all of the Bush boys running for office, imho.
I don’t like some of the anti-Christian “art” but I don’t threaten to kill anyone over it.
Kind of hard to figure out what either is getting at.
I think wars should be treated seriously. Don’t punch and walk off, leaving a stunned but resolutely vengeful enemy. That has nothing to do with skin, if I understand what that means at all in this context, which I might not.
Jeb could have a point about following through with the action. What Obama did, possibly, was back out before better order could be imposed. On the other hand, maybe the idea of imposing order on Islamic countries is vain or too dicey to be worth it.
Hope in one hand and crap in the other. See which one fills up first. Quit being so high and mighty while you’re at it.
The elites don’t let their kids into harm’s way. That line is sick. Yeb has to go.
She looks drunk.
