Bush ridicules Trump's fitness to lead military in new video (Jeb comes out swinging)
CNN ^ | Eugene Scott

Posted on 10/18/2015 1:34:40 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

The long-running feud between Jeb Bush and Donald Trump escalated yet again Saturday, with the former Florida governor releasing a two-minute video on social media mocking the billionaire's fitness to be commander-in-chief.

*snip*

The clip is the latest salvo in the Bush-Trump rivalry, which has often been marked by bitter and personal exchanges between the two prominent Republican presidential candidates. On Friday, Trump suggested Bush's brother, former President George W. Bush, shared in the blame for the 9/11 terrorist attacks because they occurred during his presidency.

Saturday's round centered on a video set to the tune of circus music that highlights comments from Trump that have called into question his grasp of military matters. Many of Trump's most controversial moments are presented, including his questioning of John McCain's status as a war hero to his inability to name prominent terrorists.

The clip also points out that Trump -- who is shown in the clip claiming that "there's nobody bigger or better at the military than I am" -- received deferments to avoid military service during the Vietnam War. There's also a snippet of a 2007 interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer in which he says Hillary Clinton "would do a good job" negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran.

[What are Jebbie’s qualifications to lead the military?]

They serve a lot of potatoes in the military, and he does bear a striking likeness to Mr Potato Head!

He's trying to raise money; there are some marks out there who think Trump *must be stopped* and that Jeb may be the last opponent -- that is, opponent that the marks can support -- who can stop him. After he continues his downward spiral, he may remain in the race, but with a 'suspended' campaign, finally losing at the convention, where he will refuse to endorse the party's nominee, then sit on the money for his next run, or just come out of the closet and start financially supporting the Demwits.

“I don’t get it. What does Jeb have to offer regarding the military?”

You have got to be kidding me, Jeb knew a guy who once watched a TV show about this man who while riding a bus talked to a guy who knew someone that had an uncle whose friend was in the reserves.

Hope that clears it up for you.

Thanks, that's what I suspected!

Trump has 4-years at military boarding school. No matter what they say to make fun of it, Trump knows that culture and did well in that culture.

Before even reading the article, which I always do before I post, I think Trump’s method of calling everyone names must be from his military based school. I could see him being a drill sergeant (not a USMC drill instructor).
