Politico unamed sources: Jeb attacks Trump

"Like everyone else, Bush soon found Trump impossible to ignore. When Trump reposted a nasty tweet a couple of weeks after his contentious announcement speech— “Bush has to like Mexican illegals because of his wife”—the former Florida governor was forced to respond. “You can love your Mexican-American wife,” he told one interviewer before telling another that Trump was “preying on people’s fears.”"
The half-dozen conservative senators and governors who had planned to run before Bush brought out his shock-and-awe fundraising campaign, had to laugh: They viewed Bush himself as an intruder, a political semi-retiree who sat on the sidelines for eight years while they fought Barack Obama. Now it was Bush’s turn to rage at an outsider.

“Seriously, what’s this guy’s problem?” he asked one party donor he ran into recently, according to accounts provided by several sources close to Bush—and he went on to describe the publicity-seeking real estate developer now surging in public polls far ahead of Bush and all the 15 others in the Republican field as “a buffoon,” “clown” and “asshole.”
Will Jeb apologize to Trump tonight?

Rush believes this leak to politico maybe an attempt to bait Trump to loose his cool at the debate.

Jeb is so out of his league.
At least come up with a good counter-punch. I mean, this was done "in private" so he had the opportunity to script something good, and he was talking to his prime consistituency of cronies who will clap like seals for anything, and it's not like there's a dearth of material to work with. It's Trump. But he has to be a passive-aggressive little douche and leak lame insults through Politico.
Trump should fire him and so should all the rest of the right wing.

Jeb Bush has zero business being on that stage. He is not Presidential material. He is milquetoast material.

Milquetoast is proper noun, a little respect please. A cartoon character, remember, ♬ Caspar the friendly toast, milquiest toast you know, though grown-ups might know wet toast can't bite, the children all love him so.

The one that issespay me off is Chris Christie, the obese candidate with the alliterative name that sounds both girlish and oddly religious. You see, Himself firmly thinks that state government should reflect federal government and not the federal government being reflection (faint one) of state, and state government being reflection of its citizens and not reversed as Chris Christie insists upon. So Chris Christie can just waddle off back to New Jersey where his fat unhealthy-lifestyle-choices-ass belongs.

I think Jeb is going to get his head handed to him if he takes a swipe at The Donald.

Money says Jeb walks up to Trump like Gore did to W.

Macho!

Jeb looks like he should be running for Mayor of Squat-n-Pee, Utah.

When your face runs into your neck like Jeb's does, then it's time to call it a day bro. Go the fuck home.
