knows that and blatedly. turning back to politics, social media has been playing a major role in the presidential campaigns. our senior edge tore for digital content is here. cal, good morning. good morning, jose. as we prepare for tonight s debate, we thought we d take a look at what people are googling. it s very instubtive on who the candidates are and how we view them. this hour, it s bush versus trump. it s okay. so let s start with trump. some of these are pretty fun p funny actually. number two and number four are what did trump say yesterday and what did trump say now? for bush people are more issue oriented, though he has a a problem with what political
positions. 85% in a recent poll of republicans said they think that george w. bush kept us safe. that pretty much tracks with the percentage of people who don t want donald trump to be president. he s speaking to his base. that s what he does. for the establishment, the republicans represented in this case by jeb bush, i think that s really where a lot of people think george bush s place is history is going to be. that he kept the country safe. he did what he had to do, that the proper time to start sort of counting all of that is after the attack and not before the attack. and the rest is, you know, bush versus trump. for donald trump, george bush is in some ways his worst nightmare. he has a super pac with $100 million waiting in the wings. he is the republican, the embodiment of the republican establishment. if trump is going to have a hard time when the votes actually start getting cast, it s going to be from the part of the party that jeb bush leads. here s what we know. the big
