Discussion: Jeb Bush: Donald Trump Supporters Aren't 'A Bunch Of Idiots'

He continued, “And some people say they’re complete imbeciles lacking all sense, but they’re not. And some people say they’re certainly, most definitely as dumb as a sack of rocks, but I don’t think they are. Some people say they’re barely able to tie their shoes and it’s a wonder they can even function in modern society. I would never dream of saying such a thing, but ‘some people’ are definitely saying that.”

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) said Saturday that supporters for GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump aren’t “a bunch of idiots”…

I agree! Recalcitrant, racist, authoritarian, judgemental, gun-fetishist ignoramuses works for me.

Jeb Bush: Donald Trump Supporters Aren’t 'A Bunch Of Idiots’

Wrong again,Jeb. Trump supporters truly are a bunch of idiots.

And some people thought you were the smart one of the Bush clan.

“…They’re legitimately scared. They’re fearful…”

And why is that, Mr. Bush? Oh yes, you and your party have, since January 20, 2009, beat the drum of disaster and foreboding and calamity. You’ve pushed the narrative of a country in decine, rampant illegal immigration, the very fabric of our way of live under assault by the anti-Christ Obama, who is hell bent on taking your guns away and pushing Sharia law.

And since Trump’s supporters don’t see that all of this and the other prophecies you and your party keep insisting will come true are nothing more than a giant, blank sheet of paper, well, I’m going to have to go with “dumb.”

And that’s being polite.

According to the original definitions he is right. They are not idiots, they are morons.

Rump’s supporters are not only idiots, they’re the evil fruit born off the foul Rethug Party’s tree. If the Bush dynasty thinks they can salvage anything from it, they’re completely delusional.

If being afraid and being an idiot were mutually exclusive Jeb might have a point. But they’re not. And Jeb seems to have repressed the memory of every single non-Trump GOP candidate out of the 43 or whatever it was hesitating to condemn either him or his idiot hordes until it was too late. What did that accomplish? Besides make him the nominee, I mean?

not as optimistic for legitimate reasons

Good boy, JEBbie, nail down the cover story…“legitimate”, that’s the ticket, no intentional foot-dragging and general corruption to tar your low energy obscurity.

Jeb! is so pathetic, especially when he is pandering to the drooling idiots to like him.

There should be zero respect for intentional stupidity, including Jebya.

“They’re not as optimistic for legitimate reasons and there should be
respect for that. And on the other side, a similar respect needs to be
shown.”

Inability to choose a side and declare the other to be traitors is what lost him the nom.

Donald Trump is Killing the GOP
It’s very gratifying to read about the GOP’s suicide march to this point, but his warning to Dems about our future in the last few paragraphs is apt.

kind of looking down their nose

No, that’s the MO of people from families like Bush and Trump that were born into money and never really had to work a day in their lives.

I look at Trump supporters with disdain: gullible cowards misdirecting their anger, getting played by a psychopathic bullshitter.

Trump supporters are “severe” Republicans. They are the same people that supported McCain and Romney. They would support anyone who is a Republican. There’s no way they would vote for a Democrat, especially Hillary Clinton.

And there are probably some supporters who haven’t paid much attention to the primaries and not big Clinton fans, plus those that support Sanders and would tell a pollster they support Trump rather than saying they support Clinton if those are their only choices. Assuming Sanders supporters come around, that alone could be a 5+% swing in the polls. And once the people who haven’t pad much attention start learning about Trump’s baggage, there will be another swing. I doubt there are many people who haven’t heard of Hillary, so all of her baggage is already baked into the polls. Trump probably has a lot more downside than upside, while Clinton is just the opposite.
