Jeb! look at your party. Now, look at Trump. Look back at your Party. Now back at Trump. Now, realize that they are one in the same and that Trump is saying exactly what your Party believes.

Looks like JEB made a phone call to his dear friend Marco last night. But they are both going to lose by taking what their base will see as a weak kneed approach on immigration.
This year its the third rail of GOP politics, and Trump has super charged it with electricity. Both of them are going to face serious opposition to these comments, and I suspect that Marco buckles under first, leaving JEB! out there all on his own.

Oh Jeb!, if you really believed tRump doesn’t represent your party’s values, you would be out there talking about anchor babies or repealing the 14th Amendment. Truth is Jeb!, you and your party are absolutely devoid of values. You want power, you want control, and you don’t care how you get it. You say you aren’t your brother or your father, but your foreign policy team IS your brother’s and your father’s.
Oh, and Jeb!, some of us remember the government takeover that you called an attempt to save Terry Schiavo. You were everything the GOP has ever accused Obama of being. What’s worse, you had the idiots in Congress backing you.

I know it’s Twitter, which doesn’t exactly allow much space for an argument. But still: Some “shot.”
Jeb! could take Twitter lessons from Trump, in fact. Here: I’ll show you: “@realDonaldTrump’s immigration is vacuous and crude. Like Trump himself. What a loser.” Plenty of room to spare.
Or: “Those guys in Boston already implementing @realDonaldTrump’s immigration plan.”
(Edit: Added “What a loser” to reflect Humpback’s fine suggestion in the interests of parodic accuracy of style.)

How out of touch can you get, Jeb? All this statement proves is that Jebya IS the lack luster, low energy throw back character Trump describes him as. Trump is the modern Republican party and EVERYONE knows it. Every time Jebya opens his mouth he makes a bigger fool of himself, and by extension the Bush family.

I’d really like to think that – I do believe the majority feel that way. But it isn’t the majority who elect Presidents.
JEB! calls it “the wireless”…

No, Trump’s immigration plan does not reflect our nation’s values, but his plan very accurately reflects your party’s values, and that’s why you’re losing.

You forgot the traditional closing: “Loser!”

Indeed. I’m off to emend now and give you credit for it.
Maybe so Jebba, but they are the values of large group that the GOP has embraced since the mid-1960s.
The bigoted, ignorant white vote is clearly part of the GOP and is part of the values of the Republican Party.
Can’t people see Jeb’s brilliance?
By saying that, Jeb can say, in the future, that Trump isn’t going far enough.
Anyone who is repulsed or turned off by Donald Trump is naturally repulsed or turned off by today’s GOP. Anyone who doesn’t see or understand that either needs real-world glasses, is intentionally obtuse or just plain stupid.

Well, for once he’s right.
- Build massive wall: extremely expensive, and based on most experts analysis, also ineffective
- Man the wall: extremely expensive.
- Deport millions: extremely expensive.
- Net economic loss from loss of millions of worker: extremely expensive.
Conservatism!

"The billionaire has vowed mass deportations of undocumented immigrants as President, an end to birthright citizenship for so-called “anchor babies,”
"How Many Candidates Have ‘Taken Advantage’ Of Birthright Citizenship, But Oppose It?
Donald Trump is calling to “end birthright citizenship,” a demand that would mean the people born to foreign parents in America are no longer automatically U.S. citizens. And though many presidential candidates are now lining up to support Trump — some suggesting that immigrants are “taking advantage” of this part of the Constitution — this policy change could hit close to home for them.
The Constitution’s 14th Amendment
currently grants automatic citizenship to infants born on U.S. soil,
including those who are born to immigrants, undocumented or otherwise.
The amendment reads in part, “All persons born or naturalized in the
United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of
the United States.”
It’s not entirely clear whether Trump’s plan should be taken
seriously. Legal experts say that repealing birthright citizenship would
require a constitutional amendment; others, like Rep. Steve King
(R-IA), believe it would only require a change to federal statute.
However, Trump is currently the GOP presidential frontrunner, and some
of his ideas are gaining traction among other candidates aiming to match his extreme immigration policy.
Had the United States previously taken this harsh stance to
immigration policy, some presidential candidates’ own families may have
been in trouble: "
