Even those of us who are not supporters of either Donald Trump or Jeb Bush can learn something by comparing how each of these men handled people who tried to disrupt their question-and-answer period after a speech.
After Bush's speech, hecklers from a group called "Black Lives Matter" caused Bush to simply leave the scene. When Trump opened his question-and-answer period by pointing to someone in the audience who had a question, a Hispanic immigration activist who had not been called on simply stood up and started haranguing.
Trump told the activist to sit down because someone else had been called on. But the harangue continued, until a security guard escorted the disrupter out of the room. And Jeb Bush later criticized Trump for having the disrupter removed!
What kind of president would someone make who caves in to those who act as if what they want automatically overrides other people's rights — that the rules don't apply to them?
Trump later allowed the disrupter back in, and answered his questions. Whether his answers were good, bad or indifferent is irrelevant to the larger issue of rules that apply to everyone.
That wasn't enough to make "The Donald" a good candidate to be president. He isn't. But these revealing incidents raise painful questions about Bush being leader of the free world.
The Republican establishment needs to understand why someone with all Trump's faults could attract so many people who are sick of the approach that Jeb Bush represents. No small part of the internal degeneration of American society has been a result of supposedly responsible officials caving in to whatever group is currently in vogue, and allowing them to trample on everyone else's rights.

FYI, I know you’re just, ‘Pimpin’ your Trump,’ but we already have a Sowell Ping List. ;)

I hope Dr Sowell isn't conflating Sanders with Bush.
Dr Sowell is a powerful voice for conservatism. I hope he isn't losing his edge.
Get what? He appears to be anti- Trump.
But, I guess you have sold your soul to Walker.
I like you...doesn't my gentlemanly treatment of you count for something.
No he’s not.
If he doesn’t get it that Trump is necessary to clean house, jail the bad guys, kick out the illegals and stop the maniacs because all the other wimps are just to wussified, then he needs to be schooled right along with Megan.
Sowell ran 3 editorials in a row bashing Ted Cruz from the DNC playbook, he sounds real conservative unless it looks like one of ours would win.
Not unexpected
Yes it happened a few weeks ago - I don’t remember the specifics - he just skedaddled once it began...
Bush is not even a consideration. I can’t believe there is anyone out there who wants this milquetoast pansy.
How we all wish FR had a feature which permitted us to eliminate opinions from people like you and Nick.
But there you are...like hemorrhoids, carbuncles, and gas pains.
They know that Trump will blow up their monopoly in DC.
I was surprised too. In the article you posted he says Trump isnt a good candidate. Here is another.

Someone has to answer why Trump wouldn’t make a great President and someone from the establishment will. As soon as the establishment candidate says he will work with people from across the aisle, he loses the election right there.
Nope. Not 100% sold on Walker. I like that Trump is bringing things to the table, but we’re a long way out, and when the dust settles, I’ll be AMAZED if Trump get the nomination.
However, I despise Jeb with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns for allowing Terri Schaivo to die in such a horrific manner, so that’s a no-brainer.
I like Cruz and also Jindal, to some extent.
I just want a Reagan, and that’s probably NOT going to happen in my lifetime. :(

I am hoping Sowell is turning but your link indicates that might be a pipe dream.
Sowell is too smart to fall for a liberal. The “style” of two different RINOs is to shallow to make up for the corruption of their, “substance.”
And my not being 100% for Walker is purely selfish. Wisconsin still has a LOT to accomplish to make sure we don’t fall back into enemy hands after all the gains we’ve made.
There’s really no one on the bench to take over for him if he gains the Presidency.
Trump will stock the government with his uniparty cronies and his David Axelrod- named Corey Lewandowski- will inflict the weaponized for of amnesty that he is known for on this country.
