Jeb Bush: Trump Is 'the Other Version' of Barack Obama

[IDemo]

Source: NBC News

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Jeb Bush on Wednesday called Donald Trump "Barack Obama - the other version of it," as he campaigned in New Hampshire with a surrogate who's said he'd vote for Hillary Clinton over Trump.

"It just sends a signal to the world that we're not serious," Bush told reporters after a young professionals event at St. Anselm College. He was making the point Obama has divided the country in a way that's similar to Trump.

Bush praised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who Israeli media reported has condemned Trump's remarks.

"It's not going to help the security of Israel, it's not going to help the security of the United States. It pushes away allies that are necessary," Bush said.

1. Jeb ole boy

You are not qualified to speak on who is what, especially as you have shown that you are not not not your brother, but have shown LESS intelligence than he. There is a reason you are still fifth in the polls, behind your little understudy Marco.

[hibbing]

2. Once again proving he's even dumber than his brother n/t

[roguevalley]

46. oh my fucking god. he's a hyena in a suit. he's dumber than his several dumb brothers.

[rpannier]

48. He is hysterical in a suit

He always looks like he borrowed one from someone else.
It fits terrible and looks too big.

[Proserpina]

3. This is the smart one?

[rurallib]

20. no damn wonder mama wanted him hidden away.

[GusBob]

4. WTF does that mean? The white version?

????

[elias49]

19. Exactly what came to my mind...

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Just one of many trial balloons

coming out of Bush's campaign. This is and was their Game Plan from the get go.

[Xipe Totec]

16. More like a trail of buffoons. nt

[Wellstone ruled]

36. All in the Rethug master game plan.

One only had to watch CBS or ABC Evening News,no end to the Publicly given to Trump or Carson. Becomes obvious to one who looks at the trends and time line of our so called Fourth Estate. Appears the Game Plan is to super divide our Country with Trump and Carson,and at the same time,work Clinton Camp against the Sanders Camp with the Rethugs getting the Positive Spin and the Dems getting a real negative spin. When Rethugs are worried about losing the Senate and the House as they are crying about today,watch out,this is a well planned charade. White Horse Prophecy coming.

[Xipe Totec]

37. The Fourth Estate is a Fifth Column.

[Wellstone ruled]

45. This garbage started with Nixon and

Raygun did the finishing touches.

[dembotoz]

6. and we all thought george was the dumb one

old barb bushes eggs must have been hit with radiation or sumtin

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

13. I suspect that

Somewhere, in the tangles of the family tree, there's been a little inbreeding.

[Robbins]

7. I may not be too happy with obama these days

but comparing him to trump? Bush is just as dumb as his idiot brother.

Don't let republicans fool you.many of them agree with trump.he only says publicly what they believe.

Obama didn't divide the country.the smears and boogyman the right wing turned obama into divided the country.

[ellie]

8. Jeb should go

fuck himself.

[onecaliberal]

9. Jeb, even pond scum shit has more brains than you.

[NurseJackie]

10. Desperate times... (as the saying goes.)

[ejbr]

22. I agree n/t

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

11. It just sends a signal to the world that we're not serious

Yeah Jebbie, that's what tells the world the goops aren't serious.

What a stupid mook.

[onecaliberal]

12. I think that is what makes me the most angry.

They don't give two shit's how they make us look around the world. They should be immediately disqualified.

[FailureToCommunicate]

26. +1

If only if only

[Raster]

14. Jebbie's sportin' a polysci woodie.... in true Bush* family landshark fashion...

...he's smelling tRump blood in the election waters. And in true tRump fashion, the Donald's mouth turns out to be his biggest potential electoral asset AND his confirmed worst enemy.

I think Bern and Hil just need to step back and watch the brou-ha-ha-ha. Emphasis on the "ha ha ha."

[fleur-de-lisa]

15. Another classic Jeb! fail.

What a boob. Can't believe he is still campaigning. Quit while you're behind, fool.

[blackspade]

17. Just when I thought he was smarter than shrub....

Nope.

This is a moment for sure.

[rockfordfile]

18. trump fits right in with the republican party.

[Hekate]

21. Jeb!? is an idiot

[MBS]

30. my reaction, took.

He makes less sense by the minute.

[Jeb Bartlet]

23. The further along this camapign season goes

The more obvious it becomes that Jeb is neither as smart as his father nor as charismatic as his brother, he's just a stupid whiny spoiled little shit. Enjoy your life as a fucking footnote Jebby.

[FailureToCommunicate]

31. George the "Shrub" was charismatic?

Not feelin' it.

But I agree about JEB!?

(And I like your West Wing handle)

[rickford66]

38. Jeb sure has a huge head

[hopemountain]

24. he does not even make sense.

jeb. more nonsensical than i thought. jeez.

[malthaussen]

25. It is somewhat sobering to realize that Shrub was the smart one all along.

This guy amazes me with his ineptitude. How did he get elected governor of Florida? I know he must have cheated, but that must have been some serious cheating, there.

-- Mal

[IDemo]

28. Unlike Lake Wobegon,

In the Republican Party, all of the children are below average.

[Hekate]

43. Jeb? would certainly know about how to cheat at elections in Florida...

...given how he helped Shrub.

[billhicks76]

27. And Jeb Is The Other Hillary

They only differ on the smaller things. Wars at home and wars abroad they play their roles in harmony. And it's getting really old having Hillary supporters flag opinions they don't like. Me thinks they doth protest too much.

[Hekate]

42. Please tell us how much difference, in dimes, there is between Jeb? and Hillary. I look forward...

...to your answer with bated breath.

[billhicks76]

57. On Foreign Policy, Drug War and Surveillance?

Almost none. And we are referring to actions not speeches.

[Gregorian]

29. What a nutjeb.

[Jack-o-Lantern]

32. Like a sideshow geek.

[truthisfreedom]

33. Jeb is the other version of bush.

Dude is in full-in fail mode, biggest loser with largest super PACs.

[SomethingNew]

34. Jeb Bush is a moron. Why is he even still in the race?

He is running against a bunch of clowns and still can't even get above 5%. That really says something about both him and the primary voters.

[onecent]

39. I hope they don't think they can STEAL THIS ELECTION ALSO WITH JEBBY....

[seafan]

35. Jeb is increasingly incoherent.

More Jebberish from the campaign trail today, in addition to his babbling something about Donald Trump as "Barack Obama - the other version of it,":

..... Bush's comments to reporters came at the conclusion of an unusual event with students and other young professionals - four young adults peppered him with unusual questions like who he would invite to a party at the White House. The result was sometimes funny and often awkward. Bush described his own introverted personality and tendency to be serious; but also occasionally dropped in a droll joke. At one point, he held forth at some length about the quality of the bed he'd bought for his Miami home, saying how much he missed it, drawing titters from the crowd.

Then he was asked about studying abroad.

"I had a Latin American affair before I had a degree in it," Bush said, referring to meeting his wife, Columba, in Mexico before finishing his undergraduate degree in Latin American studies.

Asked which celebrity he'd want to meet, Bush scoffed. "I really don't believe in celebrity. I just don't. I find it superficial," he said. "I got into a big fight with Matt Damon about school choice."

But he was introspective when one student asked what he would emulate about his father, saying that George H.W. Bush was "near perfect" and that he only hoped to be half the man his dad is.

"He treats the person that is serving in a hotel the same way he would treat a head of state and just to be grounded that way, everything else kind of flows from that," he said.

Oh, Y E S, Poppy is SOOO decent and respectful. [font color=red]NOT.[/font]

We have functioning memories here.


CNN, 2009:

COOPER: .....

Coming up, President Clinton and Bush 41 like you've never seen them before. See what Clinton and Bush 41 said that everyone cracked up about. It's our "Shot," next.

.....

COOPER: All right, Tom. I know you're going to enjoy tonight's "Shot," so let's get to it.

From New Orleans yesterday, I give you the comic stylings of two former presidents making jokes, revealing close encounters with citizens and having some fun. Watch.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BUSH: One time, we thought we'd outsmarted the crowd. We sent a decoy limousine off in one direction while I snuck out -- in the back entrance. And as we rounded the corner -- I'll never forget it -- I saw one of the ugliest and angriest women I have ever seen in my entire life. Boy, she was really bad.

And she charged my car with a sign. I don't see why the Secret Service let her up that close, right next to the window. "Stay out of my womb."

"No problem, lady."

And -- these things...

CLINTON: You know, he tells jokes that I just couldn't get away with telling. Can you imagine what they would do to me if I told that joke he told up here? Some people can do things other people can't.

Reminds me, you know, of the story of the two dogs who watched kids break-dancing. And one dog said to the other, "You know, if we did that, they'd worm us."

I mean, some guys got it, some guys don't.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

.....

We already know which half of Poppy, 'The Man', that Jeb Bush inherited.


God Lord, deliver us from this family.

[tavernier]

40. Zip up your pants, Jebbie...

You can't compete.

[elmac]

41. Gingrich said the same thing

Just another fascist talking point to blame Obama for anything, everything that the republican fascists screw up.

[oldandhappy]

44. Fake news divided the country almost a decade ago. Has been expanding.

[sofa king]

47. Jeb!

I will say this and I mean it:

I have to hand it to Jeb!, for I could never have figured out how to piss away fifty million dollars of rich assholes' money... in a primary race... in an off-election year....

It's true that the reality show narcissist and the belief-driven brain surgeon have been saying the stupider things, but it is Jeb! who is doing the stupidest things. Jeb! Bush is trailing and losing ground in the worst Presidential field I've seen in over three decades of observation. That is a self-evident problem that speaks volumes about Jeb!'s competence.

But that's only the beginning because Jeb! is dealing from the bottom of his own stacked deck and STILL losing, and still losing ground. This was supposed to be a walkover for Jeb!, and these are just some of the advantages he brought with him, and promptly squandered:

Jeb! has the most money (Trump isn't dumb enough to spend his own) and has been spending it like his brother running up a no-bid Halliburton contract;

Jeb! had his pick of the best staff from three close-enough-to-steal-it Presidential campaigns, with a pre-existing ground game in every single state;

Jeb! has a brother who gets the most coveted political information in the world: a copy of the Presidential Daily Briefing. The legality and ethics of sharing that information of course plays no role in the matter, since we're talking about members of a crime family. But for whatever reason they're not making use of it--probably because President Obama took out the bullet points and now the Bush boys can't actually understand what the Briefing says. Jeb! should be the best-informed candidate, and maybe he is, but his target demographic is too dumb to know it;

Jeb! is perfectly positioned to run against all of those candidates. He's a former governor, and the GOP loves governors; he's running against FIVE Senators, four of whom are going to lose the election for themselves by their votes coming up in the next two weeks. Three of the other governors he had to run against have already dropped out. He doesn't even need to kiss Carly Fiorina's ass because he's got his own running mate, Pam Bondi, already picked out.

Jeb! has been planning this run for SIX YEARS, if not twice that, and this is his plan. This! The "lose to the racist circus conductor" plan.

My guess is that Jeb!'s problem is that he probably really is marginally smarter than his father and his brother--but he's still a fucking moron because a person can be smarter than W and still have a double-digit IQ. He's smart enough to know that he's smarter than they, but not smart enough to run his campaign by himself or even with minimal input from himself, because of that Bush reverse-Midas touch that we all know so well.

But don't count Jeb! out just yet. There are over 40 million emails from the Bush administration that were supposed to be turned over to the National Archives, a huge amount of them revolving around anthrax and 9/11 and two trillion dollars in missing American money, for which everyone from the former President on down is felony-liable (not for the crimes but for the missing emails, which is a violation of the NARA Act). It's an obvious criminal cover-up and if things don't start breaking Jeb!'s way, everyone involved except Dick Cheney will could down the tubes for it (Cheney is a dual citizen of an Arab nation now, so he could take all those bribes from Halliburton, and he never has to return to the US, especially not to testify or face trial.)

So with infinite money, multinational power, and the spur of criminal indictment digging into his fat arse, the economy just might crash, gas just might go back over four bucks a gallon, and other candidates' planes just might fall out of the sky. That's about the sort of thing Jeb is going to need to get close.

But he only needs to get close, doesn't he?

[Helen Borg]

49. And Jeb is the other version of stupid.

[NastyRiffraff]

50. My god is Jeb! still around?

I thought he'd vanish like a puff of smoke. Wishful thinking, I know.

[BeyondGeography]

51. Dude is so lost

[Cha]

52. That's right.. Blame trump on President Obama.. he gets blamed for everything else.. why not..

In their little tiny minds it would not be much of a leap to equate their trump problem with Obama.

And, I love And appreciate President Obama

[liberal N proud]

53. WTF does that even mean?

[getagrip_already]

54. Do you folks NOT pay attention?

Obama is HATED by the right, especially among trump supporters. It is only natural in the primary to try to link your opponent, know matter how strangely, to Obama. It is a third rail over there.

The only question is can it work? Probably not against tRump, who disses O at every turn.

It doesn't have to make sense to us. It just has to work for them.

Maybe if O had shown a backbone for the first 6 years it would be different, but he didn't. Now they walk all over him.

[ViseGrip]

55. Jebby's articulation is worse than idiot brother 'W', over and over again.

[restorefreedom]

56. this incoherent babble from jeb! is almost sad to watch

wait, did i say sad?
