Jeb Bush on why Donald Trump is a jerk

“This is a national calling”, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said at the New Hampshire Forum on Addiction and the Heroin Epidemic.

The father of a boy with cerebral palsy was so angry after Donald Trump seemed to mock a reporter that he chose to volunteer for Jeb Bush’s campaign.

“It certainly doesn’t look wonderful for Jeb Bush”, observed Steffen Schmidt, an Iowa State University professor who has analyzed presidential races for 40 years. The candidates advocate for a similar slate of other policies, including cracking down on dealers and doctors who overprescribe pain killers, placing a stronger focus on prevention and creating more peer-based recovery programs. I said I was really uncomfortable with it. It’s always humbling to run for office if you do it the right way.

In another part of the town hall, Bush said that Trump is a “fantastic talent” and “smart as a whip” but said Trump’s plan to have Mexico pay for it is completely unrealistic. “That’s why I called him a jerk, because he disparaged a person who he knew had a disability and made fun of him”. “I, like you, love this country”.

“Just take ISIS. Mr. Trump in the matter of, since late September, where he said that we didn’t have a fight in Syria, then he said let’s let the Russians take out ISIS, and prior to that, he said let ISIS take out Assad”.

Bush repeatedly criticized the President on numerous issues, specifically what Bush called his mishandling of ISIS, his failure to support the American middle class, and his embrace of “big government” to solve the ills of society.

Bush, struggling in polls, is trying to reverse negative perceptions among fellow Republican voters as Trump’s rise, longevity and divisiveness alarms many in the Republican establishment. “And they’re good”, Dawson said.

“Do you want a president that disparages women?” “At what point do we say, enough of this!”

“We have spent trillions of dollars on the ‘war on poverty, ‘ but there are now still more than 46 million Americans living in poverty”, he said in a statement laying out his plan. “I like him. He’s got a great style about him, a great personality”. One approach, according to his campaign, would be doing more to verify recipients’ income, including allowing the IRS to access to SNAP records to identify filers who may have improperly claimed dependents.
