Jeb Bush spokeswoman: Donald Trump tweets ‘Twitter-drunk’

Not only is Donald Trump a “jerk” in the eyes of Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush, but he’s also “a creature of Barack Obama”. However, Bush expressed optimism to NPR that “the emotion of the here and now” with Trump “will subside”. Bush had in the past said: “He (Trump) would not exist were it not for Barack Obama”.

And we’ll turn to an expert political panel to help us preview what promises to be a rollicking election year, including Reihan Salam, of the National Review, Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus, Molly Ball of the Atlantic, and Jonathan Martin of the New York Times.

“We need political leaders rather than continuing to divide us as both President Obama and Donald Trump do, to unite us”.

Bush’s dismissal of Trump’s candidacy came as Trump continued to unleash on the former Florida governor, telling a SC crowd on Wednesday that Bush is languishing in the polls despite a massive campaign chest.

“We’re going to rebuild our military to make it so strong, so powerful, that nobody is going to mess with us”.

Bush also blasted Trump’s plan to temporarily bar all Muslim tourists and immigrants from entering the US.

“I mean, it’s beyond ridiculous”, he said.

“In a month from now, they won’t [agree]”.

“Are people scared about the national security interests of our country being violated because of a lax immigration system or a visa waiver program that wasn’t designed for people being radicalized?” “I just work hard”, he said, adding that voters “want to know who has the leadership skills to take conservative ideas and turn them into reality”. There are 12 GOP presidential candidates in the primary race, so the two likely won’t face each other until the next debate scheduled for January 14 in Charleston, South Carolina.
