“No, it’s not true. But I have said Mr. Trump’s language is divisive,” he responded.

Now there should have been a follow up question to that, but because this is America…

Tomorrow a JEB! spokesman will say the actual word was worse, but, yeah, he definitely trashed Trump.

This will be followed up on with a JEB! op-ed calling for a ‘return to civility’ in political debate.

The same day, there’ll be an item in POLITICO, sourced anon, about what a deep holy person JEB! is BUT when his goat’s got, such as by Trump, he’s not above invoking classic Americana (‘ccksker’ per the movie Bull Durham, ‘mthrfkckr’ to prove he’s familiar with idiom of the street.).

Needless to say, JEB! himself will, per tradition and in adherence with the format of what has by now become known as The JEB! Cycle, close out the Cycle by denying ever having said anything about anyone, ever.

Yes, but its interesting to note that Trump responded in the closest thing to an impression of a statesman that he did all night. Almost like the whole thing was agreed to before hand…Bush gets an article printed about him that he is tough, yet gets to display that he is above the fray…Trump gets to feel like he was publicly apologized to, and gets to toss out just about his only “moderate” statement. One might even have called it a prepared statement…if one were of that frame of mind.

From the bigger perspective, Trump left Bush alone…and vice versa.

I credit him for being slightly better on his feet than his brother, the Shrub…

… but he’s still a weaselly, pasty-faced sack of sh*t… IMO

I wouldn’t be that quick. JEB didn’t receive any questions or comments tonight that were not entirely predictable. I mean, Kelly even asked him the same question that kicked off the firestorm a few months back about W and Iraq. The Bush campaign was clearly exerting their influence well before the cameras started. That question, and much of the debate, was scripted to make sure that Bush didn’t have to think on his feet.

Who said anything about him “thinkin’”… :wink:

JebBush: I also didn’t call him a weasel lookin’ dickface, a smarmy pasty faced fuck or a womanizing trustfunder Daddy’s boy. I did say that he’s jacking up the master plan which makes me have to earn the nomination and that I hate him, but that’s all.

I didn’t say he was an asshole, I said he was asshole-ish.

Part and parcel with the Bush family’s tradition of practicing viciousness behind the scenes and then using insider connections to paper over, minimize and lie when called on it.
This reminds me of Barbara Bush after the Vice-Presidential (GHWB vs. Ferraro) debate in 1984, Referring to Ferraro, Barbara Bush said “I can’t stand that 4 million dollar, I can’t say it, but it rhymes with “rich””. When called on it, Bush said she did not mean to suggest that Ferraro was a “witch”. Like mother, like son.

The really funny thing about that episode came from Geoffrey Stokes, who wrote the Press Clips column in the mid-80s Village Voice. Every time he wrote about Barbara Bush for the rest of the campaign, he referred to her as Barbara “I can’t say it but it rhymes with cocksucker” Bush.

Are you crazy, Jebbie? That’s the best thing you ever did, and you’re DENYING it?

Jeb Bush and Scott were losers in the debate. Both came off as weak and watery.
