Jeb Bush blasts 'abhorrent' Trump shifts on immigration (CNN Useful Idiot Alert)
CNN ^ | 8/25/2016 | Ashley Killough

Posted on 08/26/2016 7:07:24 PM PDT by usafa92

Jeb Bush hammered Donald Trump Thursday after the Republican presidential nominee appeared open to major shifts on his immigration platform -- several of which echoed the former Florida governor's during the GOP primary fight. "All the things that Donald Trump railed against, he seems to be morphing into," Bush said in a radio interview with Rita Cosby of WABC. "It's kind of disturbing."

When the two men were competing in the Republican presidential primary, Trump advocated for deporting millions of undocumented immigrants and blasted politicians like Bush who wanted to allow some to stay and seek legal status as long as they met a wide range of criteria. Now Trump is apparently signaling a major shift in his policy, saying that he's open to working with undocumented immigrants rather than deporting them all. They won't be allowed to pursue citizenship, he said in a Fox News town hall Wednesday night, and they'll have to pay taxes.

Some have noted that Trump's comments are starting to sound more in line with policies that Bush proposed -- stances that Trump used to bash him during the primaries. "I don't know what to believe about a guy who doesn't believe in things," Bush said. "His views will change based on the feedback he gets from a crowd or what he thinks he has to do. Life is too complex."

During the primary, Bush repeatedly argued that Trump's deportation idea and proposal to build a wall along the border were "unrealistic" and wouldn't come to pass. Although Trump is suggesting a shift in his deportation policy, he maintains he will still put up a wall and make Mexico pay for it. When pressed on whether he was changing his policy, Trump argues that he's still going to enforce border laws.

I still think George P. will vote once in the ballot booth for Mrs. Bill.

“If Trump gets in, count on these globalist ankle biters to be all over the TV crying about everything he does.”

If he makes it John McCain will be leading the pack in back stabbing Trump. You can take it to the bank.

Good old Jeb! Momma told him not to run for POTUS, then someone either changed her mind or his. He was supposed to be the “presidential” figure in the family after dad, as I recall. Kind of like the Kennedys. The eldest,”Joe,” was the chosen one, but was killed in WWII. Is my memory serving me correctly?

Even the matriarch Babs wouldn't confirm the Yeb was her favorite and just declared herself neutral after her son, in his early 60s, asked his own mom for an endorsement.

We are working here to get Kelli Ward as our senator. It is going to be a rough one. The ads by McCain’s PACs are making Kelli look like a Nazi.

McCsin is way overripe...

THIS is why you are not going to be President, Jeb... you’re too stupid.

This is also the reason I think his mother originally did not want him to run- she knew his limitations as only a mother can.

It gets so twisted in these families. I did respect Barbara, though. She straightened the “twins” out right quick! LOL!

It wasn’t about Donald Trump Jeb, it was about you.

Your memory does serve you, the eldest son Joe of the Criminal Kennedy Cabal was lost in the war, allegedly by the Luftwaffe.

The task to the Kriminal Kennedy Klan to secure office then fell to JFK.
(Not to be confused with John Effin Kerry, who "served" in Vietnam)

You mean Mr. 4% in the primaries? CNN, a third place network, cares what he thought thinks.

Thank you. I remember the day JFK was murdered. I was in 8th grade at a Catholic School. The nuns were consumed with tears. A classmate off min who was also from a conservative family made some innocuous, but a remark. He was tossed out of class.

First Catholic president, ya know?

Any of them would have. Not a one of them would have lasted half as long as Trump has.
