Donald Trump has seized on Jeb Bush, and he's not letting go
LA Times ^ | 2/7/16 | CATHLEEN DECKER

A day after the New Hampshire debate wounded Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, it would have been logical for Donald Trump to take off after him, hoping to deliver a coup de grace against his closest competitor here.

But Trump is stuck on Jeb Bush like a dog clamping onto a bone.

-snip-

For good measure, he also mocked Bush for bringing his mother, former first lady Barbara Bush, to New Hampshire for campaign events Friday.

"Poor, poor, poor Jeb Bush, who brings out his mother because he needed help," he said, and turned to a babyish whine: "Mommy, please come walk in the snow, Mom."

“Yes, Barbara can be quite snarky. Remember what she said about Sarah Palin.”

And men’s memories relative to blowjobs. ‘Classy’ bunch, the Bushes.

Mrs. Bush does not deserve that kind of public humiliation, never. Strump was disgusting low class boorish cad.

Had he said something like "I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge First Lady Barbara Bush at this debate tonight".

That my friend would have warmed the hearts of all and perhaps give a boost above being low class but only a tad.

What do you think of vote fraud going on. I posted this earlier:

CoasttoCoastAM 2 hours with Bev Harris, the vote fraud lady

Look at SC and NH <-— less transparent than Iowa.

Date: Thursday - February 4, 2016 Host: George Noory
Guests: Bill Friedman, Bev Harris

In the latter half, founder of Black Box Voting, an investigative reporting and public education organization for elections, Bev Harris, talked about voting issues related to the presidential primaries, and past elections. At the 2016 Iowa caucus, the Democrats have been refusing requests for transparency, and the Des Moines Register called the Democratic caucus the “equivalent to a smoke-filled backroom,” she reported.

Looking toward the primary in New Hampshire, the state’s voting process is less transparent than Iowa, with final results tabulated by a single person onto an Excel spreadsheet that no one is allowed to watch, Harris revealed.

South Carolina, which uses a completely paperless touchscreen that sends results to a company in Tampa for counting, also has a troubled history when it comes to elections, she cited. The state “is so under the thumb of political party bosses in the most invisible way possible...What I expect to see in South Carolina is that the candidates who are not favored with their state political parties will be dropped down considerably,” she remarked.

Curiously, she noted that when Internet or smart phone voting has been tried out such as in Hawaii— rather than increasing the number of voters as would be expected, participation actually goes down. For more, check out a documentary on Harris’ work, called Hacking Democracy

It does not matter where he said it, the fact is he said it.

If he shouted it on the roof top, in the town square, in the bathroom or any other place that is public it was total classless disrespect, but typical of strumps mouth and by association all his supporters.

One is definitely known by the company one keeps. I know no one who even comes close to strumps nasty disrespectful mouth.

I really don’t understand people’s attraction to Trump. It’s like Homer supporting Mr Burns for President. Excellent!

Nothing says classy like bringing 90 year old mommy out with her walker in the snow.

Nothing says classless like mocking her for it.

Not one person on this thread has mocked the Former First Lady. They are mocking jeb for putting his mother into harms way.

Why does Trump thinks it’s okay to drag out his kids but Mrs. Bush can’t come out for her son.

Last I looked Trump's children are not 90 years old, frail and walking in the snow.

Says a lot about you that you would stoop to a comment like that.

Got a case of Bush butt hurt or sumthin?

I personally believe that two of the main reasons Trump decided to get in the Presidential race were Bush and Romney. He could not stomach the thought of either one of them being the nominee and just losing to the Dems. He wants to put a stake through Jeb’s heart so he does not get resurrected by the establishment.

What kind son would allow his mother to do it?

Freakin troll, so you're a Bush bot after all, figures.

Don’t know, you may very well be right.

But I cannot believe the level some posters here will sink to to bash Trump over this.

They’re actually defending putting a 90 year old frail woman in harms ways just to take their childish jabs.

Say a lot about some of Cruz’s supporters.....always got to have the lunatics, I suppose.

Bush is pathetic dragging her out in the snow like that. He cannot do anything without his establishment family pulling the strings. The Bushes are like roaches. It’s time for them to be finally retired by Jeb’s defeat.”

Frankly I am surprised that W or GW did not say, “Jebbie, we support you but are not the eff to bring mom out in the snow with her walker and her age.

Let's see, Trump or Grandpa Munster Cruz? Trump or Topo Gigio Rubio? Trump or the retarded Bush? Trump or Fat Tony Christie? Trump or The Deer Hunter Kasich? Trump because he's my preferred character in this comedy.

Barbara deserves it and so does the rest of the Bush family. She has a disparaging opinion about many people herself!

He’s doing a service by stopping the Bush grip on power.

So what does that make a man who puts his 90 year old mother in the snow on a walker?

I didn't see any criticism of that part of the story.

She has said some things that are quite funny, hated hillery for one and who doesn't?

Trump may as well say "Hey Bush, Yo momma" next time. He does understand ghetto trash talk. There was no call for him to attach another candidates mother.

"Jebbie, (pant pant) how much further?"

"Mommy, I TOLD you, I have got to be out this whole day or that Trump is gonna call me low energy! It's so much better with you by my side, Mommy!"

"It's just so cold and my feet are getting so sore... Georgie never made me do this, son..."
