And Rubio ignorant comments should not only prevent him from being presidential material but he should be unemployed.

“How did he keep us safe when the World Trade Center-- the World Trade-- excuse me. I lost hundreds of friends. The World Trade Center came down during the reign of George W. bush. He kept us safe? That is not safe. That is not safe,” Trump said.

your brother’s reign

during the reign of George W. bush.

Trump said bush “reigned.” which is a clue as to how stupid and uninformed he is. A president does not reign, he presides over government, and maybe this means The Donald will consider himself to “reign” over the United States. Ass hat

Clintonistas and Berniebros: Listen up. This is what we’re dealing with here. If you fuck this up for the rest of us, then damn you and the personality cult you rode in on.

It’s really sad when the only person with an audience anywhere near the mainstream who points out this blitheringly obvious fact is a deranged lunatic. The Democrats are too wussy to go out and say this. You’ll get this on opinion shows on MSNBC, but not all of them, and never on any of the other networks. The New York Times won’t point this out. The Washington Post won’t. Go down the line. It’s somehow verboten to point out a truth that is as plain as the orange rug on Trump’s head.

Rubio then chimed in and took a page from the old-school Republican playbook and blamed Bill Clinton for 9/11: “The World Trade Center came down because Bill Clinton didn’t kill Osama bin laden when he had the chance to kill him.”

“I’m just saying, you know, if I were Osama bin Laden - he’s a very smart guy, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about him - and I nearly got him once,” said Clinton, who’d departed the White House earlier that year. "I nearly got him. And I could have killed him, but I would have to destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children, and then I would have been no better than him. And so I didn’t do it."

Trump Is Right About 9/11
George W. Bush didn’t do all he could to prevent the attack—and it’s time Republicans confronted that fact.

"“The World Trade Center came down because Bill Clinton didn’t kill Osama bin laden when he had the chance to kill him.”

OK, Marco, then why didn’t Oedipus Tex go after Bin Laden? Took President Obama to bring him to justice. Could it be that Oedipus knew that if BL was caught, the American people would have thought the Warren Turr was over?

I was one of the 10% of Americans who DIDN’T support W after the September 11th attacks, and now even conservatives will freely say he was an idiot who didn’t protect us.

Fuck them all in the ass.

Bush was stupid to reply as he did. To blame in such a public manner Bill Clinton for not killing Bin Laden, hence the WTC attack, is beyond the pale, incorrect and just plain asinine. By leaving himself open and then insinuating his brother kept us safe is ludicrous. I’m still amazed Democrats haven’t seized upon this lie that the right has told now for years and stuffed it into their ugly faces. That it took Trump to rub the Bush’s noses in it is amazing.
