It's funny, but shows you how petty Trump is. 
The danger to America is not Barack Obama but the citizens capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.

Yes, that was the act of a classless ass hole.
I'd have paid his bill and made it public I was bailing his ass out, just like the voters would be if he were elected.

If he can't manage a website how will he manage the country?

I seriously doubt he handles things like insuring his webpage domain is renewed.
I think that is handled by your service provider that's hosting the webpage.

He never owned that domain.

The first use of the domain redirected to the now dead jebbush.blogspot.com

Then it reappeared in 2015 and has ever since redirected to Trump.

Nothing to see here. Jeb doesn't even ike to use his last name, but GW Bush still looks good compared to Jeb.

Thank you. It only takes 3 minutes research to find out there is nothing to this story, but with the Ted Cruz propaganda wing here, I'm not surprised they would jump at any opportunity to pick on Jeb.

Hey troll, if you're going to make stupid blanket statements, you might want to read the comments first.

So those comments about "Jeb is a dunce",  and "If he cant manage a website how will he manage the country" never happened? Not to mention the erroneus article about Jeb losing a domain name he never even owned, and only serves to spread misinformation. I'm no fan of Jeb, but this is a media hatchet job some of you fell for.

Even if it's only partially true as indicated by this site:

and this site:

and this one:

Presidential campaigns typically buy up lots of domain names related to their candidates before those candidates officially announce their intention to run. The reason they do this is obvious: They don't want rivals or random Internet trolls to buy up the domains and use them to create parody websites that make their candidates look ridiculous.

Remarkably, it seems the Bush campaign never bothered to buy up JebBush.com. This wasn't a big deal for a while because until last fall going to the web address would produce a blank page. Sometime late in the year, however, the website's owner made it start redirecting to Trump's presidential campaign page.


It still means Jebby's people have been sleeping at the switch since at least Dec of last year.

And they state he never owned it. It was for sale for $250,000 and the Jeb campaign decided not to pay it. Trump spent $250,000 to be petty.

Jeb had the chance to own it, decided to be cheap and not buy it, and Trump being a troll and a bully decided it was worth trolling Bush and I bet his people are the ones that brought it to the attention of the media now just to troll Jeb some more.

Like I said troll, you made a smear against the entire forum based on a few posts, posts that weren't even that mean, and had absolutely nothing to do with Cruz either, yet you inserted his name anyway.
keep it up, you're walking towards a cliff.

Glad you agree Bush's people did NOT do their due diligence.

As was posted already:

You can quibble over whether the initial article got it right or if Jeb ever owned it outright but it doesn't change much as far as they knew about it for months and did nothing.
