Donald Trump Deletes Tweet About Jeb Bush’s Wife: You Like ‘Mexican Illegals’ Because of Your Wife
Source: Yahoo
Donald Trump appears to have deleted a tweet he quoted that made questionable comments about Jeb Bush and his wife.
On July 4th, Trump quoted another users tweet which claimed to know why Bush likes Mexican illegals.
The tweet appeared to be live for 24 hours before Trump deleted it. Bushs wife, Columbia, is Mexican.
Bush responded to Trumps comments about Mexican immigrants being rapists and drug lords over the weekend.

(1,712 posts)No need to theorize that there's a sane reason for his candidacy. He has big money, a big mouth, no brains, and a huge ego to drive the whole mess.

(670 posts)I think Trump really is a wildly arrogant, attention seeking gasbag. If cameras aren't pointing at him he feels like less a man.
However, his candidacy is starting to worry me. Not because he can get the nomination...he can't. His craziness is starting to resonate with the far right, but this kind of nonsense doesn't have a long enough shelf life or wide enough appeal to get nominated. My concern is his effect on Walker, Bush, and Rubio. Cruz keeps saying he likes Trump, but the powers-that-be in the Republican party know Cruz is a non-starter too. In fact, they probably hope Cruz and Trump try to out-crazy each other while making the awful positions taken by Bush, Rubio, and Walker look a whole lot less awful. It's going to be easy for the saner candidates to look a lot better standing next to the complete lunatics.
I hope Democrats keep their eyes on Walker, Bush, and Rubio and keep hammering them and their positions. Don't get distracted with the sideshow freaks. When the dust settles, it's very likely going to be one of those guys we have to deal with and they are much scarier than Trump and Cruz. The appearance of sanity allows for quite a bit more damage to be done than raving lunacy.
So I don't think he's an intentional stalking horse, but I definitely think he could have that affect anyway.

(18,359 posts)The Republican's cannot win without the Latino vote. Jeb is looking like the rational one - the crazies are splitting the crazy primary vote, and where is the base going to go in the general election??
This is the biggest favor Jab, Marco, and Scott Walker can ask for. They can say they aren't lunatics like Trump and they can sound good doing it. Instant legitimacy.
Then the press can talk about both sides having nuts (false equivalence obviously, but that's the way the spin will go). Then Bush or Walker can tell us how their side has turned away the nuts in favor of the sane and the democrats are nuts too (media will eat it up, if for no other reason than to make sure 2016 is nice and competitive for the sake of ratings).
So, with the help of their lunatics and the media, now either Bush, Walker, or Rubio looks like a real honest-to-god candidate who represents the people. It's disgusting but it works. The dems have to hit these three harder than anyone else. They can't pay any attention to the other nitwits. If, by some miracle, someone like Trump did get the nomination, then we can thank our lucky stars and hammer the arrogant idiot. But it won't happen, so let's ignore Trump and keep going after the ones who matter.

(52,346 posts)Trump is just especially surprising because he is going balls to the wall after a certain demographic in a public way. He knows he cannot win based on that demographic alone, but that isn't stopping him.
So, I really do not understand what his motive might be, unless he thinks there is a racist out there with big money who he needs to woe for financial opportunity.

I'm sure it's just a typo, but good grief, proof-read. I get it, it's yahoo, but still. I'm sure they'd like to think they're professionals. This doesn't help.

And the Civil war between nr 1 and nr 2 starts - and will possible burn both of them to the ground before the election is over... What a clown car they really is - GOP I mean...
And Trump can delete it all he want - what is stated on internet - ends on internet - and could hurt you down the road if you are not careful..
I for one hope both Jeb Bush and Donald Trump is going down in flames - with the rest of the clown cars who is driving around headless and insane...
