I watched it. Maybe Trump is secretly doing a reality show.

I watched a good minute and 15 seconds of Jeb's speech.  These two bumbleheads are so alike.

But Trump is entertaining.

He is... but then I watch Jeb and get transfixed at his gestures that are totally like his brother's...

You mean those gestures where he's trying to convince you that he knows what he's doing, that "Please Trust Me," look, that "I'm actually a nice guy, I'll give you anything you want, just elect me" where he leans in while pulling with his hands, as if to give the audience a hug, kind of look?

GW used to do that, and yes, it was genuine from the heart, and just like his brother GW, he'll rack up even more debt and double the illegal population and we'll be worse off than ever before.

Jeb has yet to distinguish himself from the current Marxist in the WH. Am I the only one that finds it odd, that Jeb isn't saying what he'll do different than the commie?

What amazes me is the Washington pundits are still saying it will be Bush. They have no clue what is going on across the country.

"Bubble Dwellers". None of DC has a clue.

I often wonder if the Establishment will look back on the moment McCain thought, yjay running a Conservative female as a Veep, was the match that lit the fuse and set off the TEA bomb that killed off the GOPe?

It was obvious to them that they were having an issue with the base of the party and badly needed to make concessions, only to turn around and stab her in the back.
How they handled what they considered nothing more than a political prop, exposed what they thought of the base that put them in office.

In other words, all of this demonstrates just how out of touch these people are with Americans, the heart of this nation, a people that know what it takes to continue another 200 years and beyond as a free nation.

A poster above mentioned Ross Perot. Ross Perot gave us Bill Clinton. I wonder if Trump will give us Hilary Clinton?

Only when he decided to go Third Party - and that is still debatable. Bush 1 was severely damaged at the end of his presidency - it was obvious that he was not following in Reagan's footsteps and that cost him dearly with Conservative (note, I didn't say Republican) voters. In other words, he lost the Reagan Democrats!

Yeah. He went full RINO and Perot's third party run was the nail in the coffin. Supposedly there was some real bad blood between Bush and Perot in TX. I remember I supported Buchannon in the primary.

You're saying that Conservatives are Democrats? Reagen's or otherwise, I respectfully say, huh?

Palin pumped for Trump - Former Gov. Sarah Palin, R-Alaska, wrote on her Facebook page Wednesday, "@realDonaldTrump - Mr. Trump should know he's doing something right when the malcontents go ballistic in the press! There is no denying Donald J. Trump's accomplishments and drive to create opportunity for every willing American to succeed."
(Fox Online)

I am a bit surprise at Palin's position!  Is she vying for a Trump/Palin ticket?

Doesn't sound like it. Sounds more like what Red and many here said, that Trump helps push the debate to the Right, and that's a good thing.

QuoteAs for his fellow GOP presidential candidates, Trump said, "I don't have a lot of respect for many of them."

"They're all talk. They're no action. And they're totally controlled by their donors and by the lobbyists ... If we have another politician, this country's going down."

The operative word here is many! he did not say all! Trump will try to drive the debate and 5 to 6 months from now I suspect he will back the candidate closes to his views! With his hard stance on Mexico it won't be Bush! He also doesn't show much respect for Rubio! Who would you think the Donald would support? I would think Cruz, Walker or Perry!

Hopefully that is a good observation. Trump gets the attention of fiscal conservatives and realists about the state of our economy.
