This weekend illustrates why Trump (or somebody like him) could be president.
The second rule of presidential politics is never tell voters youve got something better to do.
Jeb Bush on Saturday: Ive got a lot of really cool things I could do other than sit around, being miserable, listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them.
The third rule of presidential politics is never tell voters to vote for somebody else.
Jeb Bush: That is a joke. Elect Trump if you want that.
The fourth rule of presidential politics is politics today sucks. Deal with it.
Jeb Bush: If this election is about how were going to fight to get nothing done, I dont want any part of it. I dont want to be elected president to sit around and see gridlock just become so dominant that people literally are in decline in their lives. That is not my motivation.
The scion of a very political family broke all the rules Saturday, including the one about never surrendering to a bully. A bully smells blood.
Bush has no money, Donald Trump, the billionaire celebrity TV star and GOP presidential front-runner, said Sunday. Hes meeting today with mommy and daddy, and theyre working on his campaign.
Hes a guy wants to run our country and he cant even run his own campaign, Trump told a rally in Bushs home state of Florida. Think of it!

Oh, boy. The jokes write themselves.

When I was Governor, a clock sat on my desk counting down the minutes I had left to serve the people of Florida.

Jeb is the wrong guy on so many levels, it’s almost laughable. The worst part is that even if he got the nomination, he would be a sitting duck for Hillary. He would not punch back.
He need someone who will fight. The only two people I see capable of doing that are Trump or Cruz.
AGREE.....and Free Republic proves just that point.
My gosh no sooner than something hits the media print or air, FREE Republic Freepers have dissected it down to the last ounce of ink.
Free Republic must be the Progressive, Liberals or whatever the hell they call themselves today, Free Republic must be their WORSE nightmare, even above RUSH. jmo
RUSH is great, but many Freepers have the ideas even before he speaks them, then he can expound on them as no one else can.
I'm personally getting tired of the pundits labeling anyone who doesn't toe the political correctness and friends all around rules in politics as a "bully".
Trumps approach is considered uncouth to the glad-mouths of the political class, but is merely brash in the real world. It does NOT come even close to bullying. Fournier, as a commentator, and Bush, as a spineless anti-american GOP rat, can't handle a little brashness.
Hell, Trump's brashness could be considered perfect manners among denizens of NYC.
Referring to #11
Bush...did you not listen to him yesterday?
“I will never be able to erase that short video of Jebbie standing on his tippy-toes trying to make himself look taller from my brain ..one of the most pitifully funny things Ive ever seen a presidential candidate do.”
Yeah, that’s right up there with Michael Dukakis in the Army tank.
Reminds me of the 1980 movie My Bodyguard
Trump defending us against the MSM, Democrats, Liberal Bloggers & Hollywood lies.
I believe Trump and Cruz are fully vetted. Not much about them we don't know already.
More like Dust and Bones now. There agenda is falling apart as we speak...world wide!
Behind closed doors his father was always angry and contemptuous about Conservative Republicans. I remember a Time Magazine article from 1992 that quoted him saying (about right wingers) “F@#$ those people. There’s no satisfying them”. So this is the kind of thing Jeb has been hearing since forever. His father and brother possessed enough sense and discipline to control what they said in public and put up a credible pretense. Both men, one a Navy aviator, first US ambassador to Red China, and director of the CIA, and the other a pilot of a widow-maker mach 2 interceptor and hard drinking Hell raiser who reformed himself by finding Jesus and the love of a good woman, are at least real men. Jeb’s the flabby spoiled baby brother who lacks all that and probably resents the fact that he’s expected to carry on the family business.
Now how will Rubio pay off that crappy boat?
Your logic is sound but I wouldn’t dismiss Fiorina as the GOPe backup. She’s a RINO player and they know she’ll do what they want.
If Trump (or another outside) gets to the convention with the most delegates and the rules are changed, the GOP is dead. Whoever the leader is, if he gets screwed, the GOP is guaranteed 3rd place.
That's really interesting. The conspiracy people assume that Scull and Bones people are in charge of the world. What weird things I saw about them on Youtube over the weekend. Actually there are an awful lot of super secret organizations out there.
