"W" to Rescue Jeb! ??

[JackLuis]

Can George W. Bush save his brother Jeb in South Carolina?

Who is hoisting whom's petard Now?

Now the race moves to South Carolina, but instead of the GOP field being clarified in New Hampshire, it has been muddied. Bush’s 11.1 percent fourth-place showing—which cost him a field topping $36 million—apparently earned him a ticket out of Manchester, if only in coach.

Bush has spent most of that money attacking not Trump but Marco Rubio. And apparently, he plans to continue that strategy in South Carolina. Politico reports that Bush plans to launch a “scorched-earth attack” on Rubio and Kasich in the Palmetto State.

But the really interesting dynamic in South Carolina will be the re-entry of former President George W. Bush into the political fray after eight years on the sidelines. In New Hampshire, Jeb announced that his brother “is going to campaign for me in South Carolina. I’m excited about that.”

That is smart strategy. Jeb is polling at just 10 percent in South Carolina, but his brother remains extremely popular in the state. It remains to be seen whether any of that popularity rubs off on Jeb, but the really interesting dynamic will be how Trump reacts when George W. joins the campaign.

Ahhh, yes how will Trump react?

Trump has made no secret of his utter disdain for the 43rd president, whom he has called a “disaster.” In October, he accused Bush of ignoring intelligence warnings that the 9/11 attack was coming and declared, “When you talk about George Bush, I mean—say what you want—the World Trade Center came down during his time.”

The question is: Will Trump attack 43 on the campaign trail and try to draw him into the debate? Attacking the former president could backfire.

According to a Bloomberg poll, he remains the single most popular GOP figure in the country with a 77 percent approval rating among Republicans. And 43 has a special relationship with South Carolina, the state that saved his 2000 presidential campaign after his loss to John McCain in New Hampshire.

And you thought the fireworks stopped when Carly faded away?

 

[phrodeau]

Don't misunderestimate him.

 

[JackLuis]

Don't misunderestimate him.

Can you imagine the fireworks when Trump blames "W" for forgetting Al-Q, in his haste for revenge on Saddam, and creating ISIL? Or, as being a shill for Halliburton? Or, being so incompetent that he let Osama slip away from Tora Bora, because he outsourced the closing of the back door to Afghani merc's?

How will 43 respond to those truths?

What will El-Jeb! do? Will he grow a pair, and punch Donald out on the podium?

Will "W" insinuate that the Trump is nothing but a New York prick in an Armani suit? More evil that that bastard Cheney!

 

[sr71plt]

I was believing down to the supposition that anyone could be a more evil bastard than Cheney.

I think you meant Osama.

I think you meant Osama.

OOOH yeah. I was thinking of Rethuglicans and slipped. (Fuck!)

 

[NOIRTRASH]

43 is so popular attacking him almost guarantees Trump the nomination and presidency.

What if it's Trump attacking him to torpedo El-Jeb! ?

SC is going to be the test for 'Establishment Rethuglicans' vs the new radicals. Cruz is going to do well with the evangelicals so JEB! can't whip out his Bible and beat Rubio with it.

Kacish may do well poising as "The Sane One".

Carson may get some votes just because...

 

[Hypoxia]

It'll be nasty fun as usual in SC primaries. That's where McCain grew a black bastard baby according to W's team in 2000. I forget the more recent slimings.

But we can expect more than the usual character assassination and fact-free horseshit. Maybe shopped vids of Bernie (or Hillary) (or Donald) sucking Putin's cock.

Anyway, it'll be interesting when viewed from a safe distance -- like from Tijuana.

WATCH: Donald Trump hammers George W. Bush for 9/11 during shoutfest with Jeb

GOP candidates and mounting rivals Donald Trump and Jeb Bush got locked in a tit-for-tat argument over foreign policy as the two took swipes at each other during Saturday night’s debate in South Carolina.

The argument started over foreign policy and got heated when Trump attacked Bush’s brother, former President George W. Bush, and his decision to invade Iraq in 2003.

“Obviously the war in Iraq was a big, fat mistake,” Trump said. “It took Jeb Bush… It took him five days, he went back, it was a mistake, it wasn’t a mistake, it took him five days before his people told him what to say and he ultimately said, it was a mistake… We should have never been in Iraq, we have destabilized the Middle East.”

He then accused the Bush Administration of lying about the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Jeb Bush responded by calling Trump’s insults “blood sport.”

“But I am sick and tired of him going after my family,” Jeb Bush said. “And while Donald Trump was building a reality TV show, my brother was building a security apparatus to keep us safe and I’m proud of what he did.”

JEB! jumped on Trump hard! Trump pushed the message, JEB! jumped back again!

Is Trump losing it?

 

[sr71plt]

Well, I don't think it's a brilliant idea to trot George the Lesser out to support anyone for anything anywhere.

Laura Ingraham: ‘Millions and millions’ of Republicans think the Iraq war was a ‘disaster’

Ingraham told the hosts of Fox News that Trump was engaging in a risky but calculated strategy.

“He’s thinking that there are millions and millions of Republican voters who have had the luxury of time to look back on whether the war in Iraq was really a good idea,” she explained. “And all the money we spent, and all the men and women we lost. And I think a lot of Republicans — the establishment doesn’t like to hear this — millions and millions of Americans probably agree with Trump.”

“This was a disaster for the United States,” she added. “We’ve lost influence in the Middle East, we’ve toppled dictators who probably had their finger on the dice of what was going to be a flood of tumult. And he’s betting that people aren’t going to just reject the Republican Party of today, they’re going to reject the Republican Party of the Bushs’.”

“If they think they are going to re-litigate the Iraq war throughout the United States in this primary process and that’s going to end well for them, I don’t think it is.”

She's not real good at metaphor is she?

 

[sr71plt]

The Iraq War does double duty for Trump. Hillary also is being poked about that, so it sticks it to her as well as to Bush.

What will El-Jeb! do? Will he grow a pair, and punch Donald out on the podium?

I'm not always one for violence but Trump is sufficiently below the belt that I think Jeb Bush calmly stepping down from the podium, stacking some tables, covering them in thumbtacks and gasoline then grabbing a lighter and

would result in resounding cheers and this.

[NOIRTRASH]

Almost all but me have talked outta their asses about Trump since day one.

It's over for Jeb.

Trump is now using Jeb and the other numnutz to inflate his appeal to Democrats. Its funny to watch them paint Trump as a moderate or liberal. JAMESBJOHNSON says EWWWW but much of America says, HMMMMMM. I mean, FOX hates Trump.

Theyre throwing him in the briar patch.

Your prognostication (which, historically, have all been wrong) gives Jeb hope.

 

[someoneyouknow]

Rescuing Jeb? I know there's usually a competitive nature between brothers, but this will be hitting below the belt.

Blowback Biting

Lindsey Graham: Donald Trump peddling ‘Michael Moore stuff’ by criticizing Bush for Iraq and 9/11

“What he said about President George W. Bush being a liar and that the Bush administration is the cause of 9/11 is Michael Moore stuff,” Graham said.

Trump drew boos during Saturday’s Republican presidential debate by claiming that Bush “lied” to Americans by suggesting there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, even though “they knew there were none.”

The real estate tycoon and reality TV star also claimed Bush, whose brother Jeb is also running for president, allowed terrorists to attack the World Trade Center and Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001

Ms Lindsey can bite! Can't be true, Trump shaves everyday!

‘You want to come on with big boobs’: Trump supporter flips out and attacks Fox pundit’s breast size

With Video!

Donald Trump supporter and former start of The Apprentice Omarosa Manigault told left-leaning Fox News contributor Tamara Holder on Monday that she was not qualified to ask questions because of her “big boobs.”

During a segment on Maria Bartiromo’s Fox Business show, Holder explained that she would like Donald Trump more if he expressed support for Black Lives Matter or put forward a plan to improve inner cities.

But Manigault argued that the topic of the discussion should be limited to Trump’s criticism of the Iraq war.

“It’s Tamara,” Holder said, correcting Manigault’s pronunciation.

“It’s the same difference, boo,” Manigault shot back. “You want to come on with big boobs, then you deal with the pronunciation of your name.”

Even Trump supporters can deflect an argument!

Dick Cheney fires back at Trump: ‘He sounds like a liberal Democrat’ for saying Bush lied about Iraq war

http://2d0yaz2jiom3c6vy7e7e5svk.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Dick-Cheney-021516-300x161.jpg​

Former Vice President Dick Cheney castigated Donald Trump on Monday after the GOP presidential front-runner accused former President George W. Bush of lying in order to force the US into war in Iraq.

“He sounds like a liberal Democrat to me,” Cheney told Fox News host Bret Baier. “He’s wrong, and I think he’s deliberately promoting those views in order to advance his own political interests.”

Trump launched an attack on Bush’s administration during Saturday night’s debate in South Carolina, calling the war “a big, fat mistake” and earning boos for criticizing Bush’s record concerning both that conflict and the 9/11 attacks.

Cheney knows "W" was clueless about Iraq, or most anything.

 

[someoneyouknow]

Just shows the desperate measures those who lied about the need to invade and occupy will go to to try and sustain the lie.

All we heard from Cheney was he "knew Iraq had wmds and he knew where they were" despite not a single one ever showing up. This includes after we sent 3 different teams in after the invasion because he didn't believe the other 3 UN investigations which showed no active wmd program anywhere in Iraq.

In fact, Curveball, the man they kept siting as a source for wmds admits he lied:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d92KwHXM7AU

For as much as Trump is a blowhard, he is dead on in this situation. Bush lied, knowingly, and it cost us over $3 trillion and thousands of U.S. troops, not to mention the thousands of other troops we will now have to take care of for decades to come with their debilitating injuries.

This on top of the rise of Daesh which can be tied directly to Bush and his invasion of Iraq.

Here Comes "W"

He's back: George W Bush turns on the campaign trail charm to fight for brother Jeb

Bush Family Values!​

Seven years ago, George W Bush left office as one of the most disliked presidents in US history. On Monday night, in a packed convention hall in front of a giant American flag, he returned to the campaign trail for the first time in support of his flagging younger brother Jeb.

For outside observers, having in your corner the president who remains synonymous with “dumb wars” may seem like the kind of support a White House hopeful could do without.

Yet George W Bush remains one of the most popular Republicans in the staunch conservative state of South Carolina. And last night he showed why, bounding on stage and turning on that old folksy charm which somehow bypassed the stolid, workmanlike Jeb.

The avuncular older brother got serious, though, disparaging the politics of fear and anger which has marked the Republican campaign. “We don’t need someone in the Oval Office who mirrors and inflames our anger and frustration. We need someone who can fix the problems that cause our anger and frustration and that’s Jeb Bush.”

When the candidate finally took the stage, some of his older brother’s charm seemed to have transferred to him as Jeb gave a “high-energy” version of his stump speech. He took indirect shots at Marco Rubio, and referred to Donald Trump only as “the front-running candidate” as he appealed for voters to support him in Saturday’s crucial primary.

Well let's see Trump make something of that!

Is Jeb! running out of money in February? Battling for third place is so hard!
