Trump, The Bush Slayer

I know it is too early to care about the 2016 election and the GOP circus of errors….but there is something that I just cannot turn away from…..the Trump V Bush saga……

Recently Trump accused GW as NOT keeping the country safe….simply based on the fact that he was president when the attack happened……I can see where he is coming from on this….I mean if anything that happens is Obama fault simply because he is prez…….. then……. why not GW?

Of course Jeb took the bait and lashed out at Trump in defense of his brother…..when that happened I said then that Trump had set a trap for Jeb…..gets him defending his brother and not talking about his policies and plans….kinda brilliant.

Donald Trump continued his recent attacks on the Bush family by implying today that he would have prevented the 9/11 attacks, CNN reports. The Republican presidential contender said on Fox News Sunday that he’s “extremely, extremely tough on immigration,” which may have thwarted the 9/11 terrorists. “There’s a good chance that those people would not have been in our country,” says Trump. (The Guardian, however, notes that all of the terrorists legally entered the US on tourist or business visas—except one, who used a student visa.) “I’m not blaming George Bush,” adds Trump. “But I don’t want Jeb Bush to say, ‘My brother kept us safe,’ because September 11 was one of the worst days in the history of this country.” Cue the reactions:

  • “My brother responded to a crisis, and he did it as you would hope a president would do,” says Jeb Bush on State of the Union. “He united the country, he organized our country and he kept us safe. … And I don’t know why [Trump] keeps bringing this up.”
  • “I would probably ask [Trump] what he meant by that. I seriously doubt that he’s saying that—that George W. Bush is to blame for [9/11],” says Carson, per ABC News. “I certainly—I certainly don’t think so.”

And Jeb recently fired back at Trump (who’s been attacking the Bush brothers on Twitter) with a video that mocks Trump as a foreign-policy lightweight while fanciful clarinet music plays in the background.

Jeb is suppose to be an astute politician…..after all that has been said by Trump about Jeb…..he, Jeb, should have seen this coming and prepared for it…..he did not and he will be destroyed……

If you followed political headlines over the last few days, you know that Donald Trump has been going after Jeb Bush by attacking his brother. After noting that 9/11 occurred on George W. Bush’s watch, Trump boasted that his policies would have prevented the attacks. Essentially blaming Bush for 9/11 is “laughable,” but it’s also “brilliant politics,” writes Ben White at CNBC. In a post at Vox, Ezra Klein has a similar take. Even if Trump doesn’t end up the nominee, “it’s increasingly clear he’s going to destroy Jeb Bush before he loses.” Trump has realized that Bush’s biggest weakness is his brother, and he’s relentlessly piling on. On Twitter, Trump asked, “Jeb, why did your brother attack and destabalize the Middle East by attacking Iraq when there were no weapons of mass destruction? Bad info?”

Bush, meanwhile, is defending his brother while twisting himself in knots trying to answer questions like this one from CNN’s Jake Tapper regarding 9/11: “If your brother and his administration bear no responsibility at all, how do you then make the jump that President Obama and Secretary Clinton are responsible for what happened at Benghazi?” Trump is reminding Republicans that if they choose Jeb Bush, they’ll have to answer questions like that one—and answer for George Bush’s polices—all through the general election, writes Klein.

Trump may well not be the nominee……and he is doing everything possible to make Jeb damaged goods so that he will not be the nominee either……

Plus Jeb is destroying himself……
