Jeb Bush: Trump is 'uninformed' and 'preying on people's fears'
Washington Post ^ | 11/29/15 | Ed O'Keefe

Donald Trump is "uninformed" - but would be a better president than Hillary Clinton, according to GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush.

Bush, knocked off the top of the Republican pack earlier this year by Trump, made the comments about the business mogul on Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation" in response to a question about Trump's calls for a national database to track Muslims.

"Look, I just think he's uninformed. He knows what he's saying. He's smart. He's playing you guys like a fiddle, the press, by saying outrageous things and garnering attention," Bush told moderator John Dickerson. "That's his strategy, is to dominate the news. The simple fact is that he's been wrong on Syria and on the refugees pretty consistently.

Poor Jebbie claims he is a problem solver but can’t solve the problem with his campaign.

I assume that when it comes to politics and government insider knowledge, Big Government liberal "Act-of-Love" Jeb is much better informed than Trump. The problem is that so much of what Jeb knows doesn't match reality. Reagan described it best:

'It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.' - Ronald Reagan

Didn’t Al Gore use that line “preying on people’s fears” against Bush back in 2000? It sounds hauntingly familiar.

“The simple fact is that he’s been wrong on Syria and on the refugees pretty consistently.”

So we can put Kennebunkport down for 2,000 then. Right Jeb?

I hate it when they say “preying on people’s fears.” Aren’t people’s fears ever legitimate? Should people’s fears be ignored?

Each of these Trump-attack headlines need a rewrite:

Jeb Bush: Those masses supporting Bush are ignorant and full of visceral, unfounded fears

Or perhaps Algore is still pulling some strings. His little climate change project seems to be gaining momentum.

Nobody believes this. What they’re doing is broadcasting talking points to the minions, who will then annoy everyone with them at social gatherings and at work.
