2. He said "phase out" except for those NOW getting it. Good luck, 64 year olds.

This guy may be more dangerous than any in the GOP field, including Cruz, Walker, et al. Plus, he loves war, except for his family.

"We need to make sure we fulfill the commitment to people that have already received the benefits, that are receiving the benefits," Bush said.

Anything there about those close to receiving the benefits? No!

No more Bushes!!
