Jeb Bush to Donald Trump: ‘Dude,’ figure out United States nuclear policy
I told my wife I just couldn’t let that stand. I had to do something to make sure Donald Trump wasn’t the nominee.
The nuclear triad has been a thorny topic for Trump throughout the campaign. A Quinnipiac University poll out on Monday has Bush at just 3% in Iowa. Marco Rubio and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
Polling aside, Bush is placing his faith in recent audience response and his team’s organizational ground game.
Bush shared dinner with Breylen Dyar at Dyar’s Diner before a Friday-night event at the establishment.
He also said Bush is too low-energy to deal with the crises now facing the nation.
At a separate campaign stop in New Hampshire last week, Bush told a town-hall questioner that he referred to Trump as a “jerk” because of his apparent mocking of Kovaleski. “I don’t know what the consequences politically for me are”. “It’s the weirdest thing in the world”.
“I just ran three miles on your lovely beach before I came here”, he said. I work my tail off like I’ve done my entire adult life. I have a 12-year-old son who ‘s handicapped.
“I love my brother, I love my dad”, he said. “He’s not going to be president”, Bush laughed.
Bush said Trump “sure as heck better [learn about the nuclear triad] if he’s going to be the next president”.
Everybody running for president on the Republican side is in the witness protection program, you ever heard of that? So he went online and started learning more about Bush’s campaign, then reached out to them to ask how he could help.
Trump’s rise and Bush’s underwhelming showings in the Republican debates raised concern among some Bush donors in the fall. “That’s why I called him a jerk”. Yet rather than talking about winning in the early voting states, Bush says he’s working to “beat expectations” in the February contests before moving “into March as a candidate that’s viable”.
Bush said he would not base judicial appointments on the abortion-rights positions of his nominees but rather scour their records to find conservatives who are consistent in their overall judicial philosophy. The 43rd president now has a 77% approval rating among Republicans, according to a Bloomberg Politics poll in November.
“It’s a state driven reform”, he said. But last week, the praise was on an uptick.
