Trump: Jeb 'needed mommy to help him'

The Hill ^ | 1/22/16 | Elliot Smilowitz

Agreed, enough is enough. The time is to act more mature.

I think the criticism of Jeb's new ad was warranted - and so far, Trump has gotten a pass on any and all attacks on Bush, mostly because Jeb is profoundly unlikeable.

It is starting to resemble a cat playing with a wounded mouse, though.

aw shucks lobbylu, did you get off your meds again?

I am sick to death of Trump’s bashing. He looks petty and little. A spoiled brat. Sick of your Trump-bashing...

[refreshed]

I have read some. Am I no longer allowed to disagree with Jim here?

[digger48]

Nobody here is being fooled or mistaken.

I don’t see a lot of FReepers making the claim that Trump is conservative.

What I do see, is a bunch of FReepers totally disgusted by the “conservatives” that we have helped get elected only to be left at the altar.

[dfwgator]

If Trump only does one or two things that are remotely Conservative, then that would still place him ahead of most so-called “Conservatives”.

I am sick to death of Trump's bashing

If only...

Barbara Bush is a fraud. She was pro-choice before her husband had to switch to be on the ticket with Reagan.

She came out after her husband was no longer in office that she was pro-choice. She was always pro-choice. So was her husband. She was just a fraud when her husband was president.

Go away Barbara. I don’t respect you or your family.

[cornfedcowboy]

Jeb Bush is more conservative than Donald Trump. At least give him that.

[digger48]

I wish someone could convince me of just how Ted wins the general.

He’s always been my first choice, but I just don’t see it in the cards.

Being a Hoosier, we never really have a say in the primary by the time we get to vote. But if Ted is standing strong by then, I’ll have a tough choice to make.

That’s at least better than holding my nose or hoping the old geezer on the ticket keeled over at the inauguration party

[dfwgator]

A country that voted for Obama twice, will not vote for Ted.

Sorry, but that’s the way it is. This is not the same country that it was in Reagan’s time.

Are you saying libbylu posts lame, self-defeating comments professionally?

[PA Engineer]

I am sick to death of Trump's bashing. He looks petty and little. A spoiled brat. Grown ups do not act like that. Toddlers do.

Whatever Libbylulala.

An adult would have knee capped the SOB after Terri Shiavo.

[PA Engineer]

Go back a few years. She worked for Mitt Romney's slime squad back as far as 2007. He/she/It is a paid disruptor without question.

Or a bundler. I know for sure of two here. I'm not going to mention names because I like them. I hope things will return to normal after the election.

I still think it is wrong to use FreeRepublic to push the agenda. That is very expensive money at the price of one's soul.

I don't know if Libbylulala is. The modus operandi is the same as others and the two I know of. If they are at their computer nonstop posting for days on end. It is a pretty good bet their is something amiss.

Ok. I forgot about the zombie accounts. It proves that Zombies can reanimate after years of death. I have found a couple this election cycle too.

If you wonder why things went to heck here a couple of weeks ago, this explains some of it. Some are in it for the money and others are true believers.

[PA Engineer]

A picture of his mother is on every dollar bill. Or was that the Quaker Oats package. I forget. ;-)

Oh man. I really shouldn't be laughing at that comment. I can't help myself.

[PA Engineer]

Agreed, enough is enough. The time is to act more mature.

Nope. You destroy your competition. Period. Your version of acting more mature is the equivalent of a participation trophy.



Participation trophies are for losers. We have had too many of them.

[spokeshave]

The ad is terrible. Jeb is wasting a lot of money.

Stand by for "The Office of the Presumptive President Elect...at 1100 Pennsylvania Ave

Is that Jebb! standing in front of the orange square with a bucket collecting donations......?

[ssfromla]

I am sick to death of Trump’s bashing. He looks petty and little. A spoiled brat.

I think it's fantastic when he gives it to them like he does. I have a big smile with it.

Those that he attack deserve it. He doesn't let them bully him around.

“I cannot frickin’ believe that no one in the Jeb Bush campaign advised him that bringing in his mom would make him look like the most ridiculous sissy fool on the face of this planet.

This is the most pitiful thing I have ever seen a grown man do.

Jeb, you are not a leader, you are a total moron.”

---

Of course, Jeb is a moron, but that was not the cause of Mommybait.

The calculus had to be that Barbara Bush was more loved, trusted, than Jeb. This determination would have been made by the team, the professionals. And, that is what I find incredible. That Jeb’s advisers do not know that it is generally accepted that Barbara Bush is the “Ma Barker” of the Bush clan. The man behind the curtain. The one person’s ego that propels the otherwise inadequate Bush men to strive for greatness.
