Steve Schmidt: Donald Trump 'emasculating' Jeb Bush
Politico ^ | 8/31/15 | NICK GASS

Donald Trump is "emasculating" former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with his attacks and his performance in state and national polling, prominent Republican strategist Steve Schmidt said Monday.

"Look, Jeb Bush was a very successful governor, he's a thoughtful man, he was a good, conservative governor. But every day, Donald Trump is emasculating Jeb Bush, and Republican primary voters are not going to default to the establishment candidate who is being weakened by these attacks that go unresponded to."

Breaking down the results of the latest Iowa polling on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Schmidt remarked upon the strong performance of candidates without prior experience in public office.

"When you add it all up, 54 percent for the non-establishment candidates, and you look at the establishment candidates who are running there right now, and I think their whole conception of the race is off," he added. "Their whole sense of the mood of the country is off."

Trump isn’t “emasculating” Bush. He’s just pointing out the obvious.

Jeb pretty much did that himself when he said he would be wearing ‘big boy pants’ during his campaign.
