The Donald Trumps Jeb! Bush in New Hampshire

Original post made by Two Docs, Menlo Park: Sharon Heights, on Aug 20, 2015

The Donald, despite what the elite establishment Republicans tell us, is taking a commanding lead over Bush! in NH.

And he knows it. Going for the kill yesterday: Web Link

Trump on Bush!: "I don't know. I will tell you this—you mention the word 'skin,' he said the other day one of the dumber things I've heard ever in politics when talking about Iraq. That we the United States, he said, have to show them that we have 'skin in the game' in order to go into Iraq.

We've lost two trillion dollars, thousands of lives, wounded warriors who I love all over the place, and he's talking about 'we have to show them that we have skin in the game'?

Between Common Core, his 'act of love' on immigration, and 'skin in the game' with Iraq—that's the third one that we've now added—I don't see how he's electable.

And then on top of that, he talks about women's health issues, and he's against women's health. Now he then comes back a few hours later, he says he 'misspoke.' But he's bad on women's health issues."

Sayanara, Jeb! Bush. Hola, el Presidente Trump.

Jeb Bush looks like donald Rumsfeld.

Supports the same chickenhawk foreign policy.

War.

Search YouTube for "Donald Trump White Power". His supporters are shouting that rallying cry during his speeches.

Our leader in the GOP race for President, Donald Trump tweets (instagrams) his important economic messages:

“As I have long stated, we are so tied in with China and Asia that their markets are now taking the U.S. market down. Get smart U.S.A.,” the real estate mogul and GOP presidential candidate began. “Markets are crashing — all caused by poor planning and allowing China and Asia to dictate the agenda. This could get very messy! Vote Trump.”

Web Link

“I’ve been telling everybody for a long time: China is taking our jobs, they’re taking our money, be careful, they’ll bring us down. You have to know what you’re doing. We have nobody that has a clue,” he said in a short video he posted on his Instagram account.

Vote Trump. Stop billionaires from working with the Communists in China and force them to work with our patriots here in America.

Trump will bring American jobs back to the good ole USofVay.

Yep -- yet more simplistic babble from the simplistic candidate.

And there are people out there who actually support this guy? Guess P.T. Barnum was right *to a certain extent*...

Jeb Bush has shown to be an awful politician. Unable to answer simple questions - and he was supposed to be the Natural in the family.

Trumps a loon.

Trump TRIPLES the nearest contender in New Hampshire.

DOUBLES the support of the also-ran in SOUTH CAROLINA.

Puts the press, and Univision, in their place while in Iowa.

This is YUGE. It is BEEEYUUUUTIFULL.

Republican elites have no answers. They don't what to do.

First thing - change your shorts.

This will be like 2010 - Trump will bring out the Tea Partiers turned off by Republican Elites.

Down ticket coattails for real conservatives.

The rest of the GOP candidates have zero answers for Trump, because Trump speaks with a bullhorn what they only whispered for years in dogwhistle code.

Funny we don't hear from our local conservative and libertarian posters decrying what Trump is doing for rightwing electoral prospects.

Trumps going to have dems back in charge of the senate.

Thanks!

The GOP Elites, those snob-bish corporatists, always at Wall St's beck and call, are in a tizzy!

"So the lords of the GOP counted all the ways that Trump was unlike a traditional politician and decided he would soon be toast.

But Trump’s numbers in the polls have gone steadily up. And if you add his numbers in the Quinnipiac survey to Carson’s, you see that a full 40 percent of Republican voters want their party to nominate for president someone who has never run for office before, let alone held it."

Take Back America!

Trump or Hillary? Pick your poison. But the country would be much better off if it was John Kasich vs. Jim Webb. Then you would have two common sense accomplished moderates instead of two vain and vacuous narcissists with no political accomplishments.

Kasich is no moderate - he wants to cut capital gains and tax cuts almost exclusively for the super rich and Wall St hedge fund managers.

He wants to bury the working class folk that Trump wants to make great again.

Kasick spent 18 years in congress trying to cut taxes for the super rich elites. Not working for you or me. Also lies about Lincoln - the first republican. Just another corruptocrat. No more beltway elitists!

Just another GOP elitist trying to sock it to Real Americans - The Great American Tea Partiers!

Trump - make America great again!

Our Donald continues to blow away the old beltway elites that have ruined our country.

Trump has the weak GOP elites trying to play on his turf - from politico:

"A week after boasting that it would ignore Trump, with its usual Clouseau-like finesse, JebWorld decided to hit Trump every day. Which means every GOP candidate is now playing Donald Trump’s game instead of their own—and doing about as well as you’d expect."

Give it up, Jeb? Bush!, no one wants another Bush.

The GOP field is the weakest ever.

No one can beat the reality tv star. They can't even get close - they are that pathetic.

This is worse than Mr. Herman 999 Cain.

But nothing was worse than seril cheater and biggest hypocrite ever - Newt Gingrinch.

Bring back Mitt Romney. All is forgiven, Mitt.

Newest polls show Trump at 30, Carson at 20 and Fiorina at 10ish.

The politicians combine for about 30 or 40.

So Republican voters prefer non-politicians to Republican politicians almost 2 to 1.

Republicans hate Republican politicians.

Ever happen before?

Nose is on to something. National poll of Republicnas.

The Donald.

Donald Trump: 29%
Ben Carson: 15%
Jeb Bush: 9%
Carly Fiorina: 8%
Ted Cruz: 6%
Scott Walker: 5%
Mike Huckabee: 5%
Chris Christie: 2%
Rand Paul: 1%
Rick Perry: 1%
Lindsey Graham: 0%
Bobby Jindal: 0%

Take the top four. Drop the rest as the only votes they are getting are family and friends, and the few they can afford to buy.

Donald Trump: 29%
Ben Carson: 15%
Carly Fiorina: 8%

Take the non-politicians, vs the politicians

Non-politicians win: 53% - 29%

The majority of conservatives HATE Republican politicians.

Republican HATE Republican politicians, by 2 to 1.

And now the beltway elites want Mitt De Loser Romney back. Are they outta their ever-loving minds?!@!?#?!?!

Vote them ALL OUT.

Trump/Carly-Ben 2016

Everyone agrees, the GOP is toast; from The Federalist

wow

"Here’s Why Republicans Hate The Republican Party

If the GOP is incapable of making a compelling case against Planned Parenthood, Iran, or Ex-Im then, really, what exactly can it do?"

wow wow wow

Noting. Get rid of the beltway bandits. Get rid of the elites.

The GOP has spent 15 years encouraging the whackos.

Now even the crazies recognize that the GOP politicia s don't care about voters. Don't care about healthcare for working folk. Dont care about social security or protecting our seniors.

You know, the base.

Trump. Carson. Fiorina.

A big single digit salute to the GOP, from their voters.

And they created their mess. Not the muslim black president from kenya.

see: IRONY

Time for a new party. This one is history.

Scary, isn't it. Listen to talk radio. There are actually people that think Trump is the way to go.

Amazing.

po' lil' John Ellis Jeb! Bush

Calls Donald Trump crazy, and then says he would get his vote for president. Bush admits he would vote for a 'whacko'?

Crazy, like a fox!


"I think Donald Trump is trying to insult his way to the presidency ... he wants to tear us down, he doesn't believe in tolerance..."


Will you vote for The Donald?

"Yeah, I would. Of course. Of course I would."

Crazy, like a fox!

and Trump, Carson & Fiorina grow their leads. The poster above is correct - conservatives hate Republican politicians.

Time for a new conservative party, a reformed Green party and a Social Democracy party for Sanders.
