jeb s brother as well. in the 2016 primary. interestingly, though, he did not give any money to president-elect donald trump, but his wife gave 2700. so it is sort of interesting to see that he s choosing both from outside his loyalty nest. i think, again, that s probably a good sign. i m sure mitt romney is a bit sad to see the news, especially after he had to kiss the ring and apologize to mr. trump after his never trump campaign in hopes of getting the secretary of state job. but rex tillerson, that s a wild card to pick that. i don t think anyone could predict he would be secretary of state and we ll see if he actually gets through the senate. that s going to be a really tough hearing. senator mccain and lindsey graham both expressed concern. we don t know his position on iran, with sanctions being lifted to a certain extent, and iran coming back to the world oil market, which helped to drive down prices over time, will he continue to support something like that, that is in
very 2016 way, on twitter. donald trump tweeting today at jeb bush, i m fighting to make sure it doesn t happen again. jeb is too soft. that after bush had tweeted, donald trump talks about foreign policy as though he s still on the apprentice. at issue, trump s suggest uns that jeb s brother, george w. bush, could have done more as president to prevent the september 11th terror attacks. blame him or don t blame him but he was president. the world trade center came down during his rein. reporter: delayed trump response to one of jeb bush s most passionate moments at cnn s debate last month. such a disaster the last three months that abraham lincoln couldn t have been elect sghed are you know what? as relates to my brother, there s one thing i know for sure, he kept us safe. i don t know if you remember reporter: trump is now even suggesting he could have stopped the 9/11 hijackers from getting into the u.s. in the first place. i m extremely tough on people coming into thi
doing. there are two things going on with jeb s response. one is that this is a personal issue for him. he s married to a mexican woman. he s raised children where they often spoke spanish at home. and he left texas and moved to florida when he was young with his young family partly because of the racism that his wife would confront. and so this is obviously something he cares about deeply. and he really doesn t like sort of the nativist wing of the party. politically, taking on donald trump in this way, he s not going to take away votes from donald trump. they re not going to go to jeb bush most likely. that said, i think jeb is setting himself up as the single leader of the establishment of the more moderate wing. and by incessantly attacking donald trump, he makes the show, makes the campaign basically jeb versus donald. that s good for him in the end. that s why we re going to keep seeing him hammer away at jeb on this and every other issue or at donald. agreed. thank you b
media. it didn t trickle down when the voters cast ballots. and nine, nine, nine. i ll remember that from herman cain. i m an ordinary guy even though i come from this famous political family, i m kind of just like you. the big risk for jeb bush is that everything that he says about this particular topic reminds people of two things, number one, his brother wasn t exactly known for being an intellectual wasn t enough to cram for the answers and didn t stop him from being president. but that jeb himself may know the answers to those questions because he s being advised by the same neocons that got us into iraq. trump is running against that sort of thinking that got us mired in a war we didn t have to fight courtesy of jeb s brother. marco yubio who has no more foreign policy experience yet he s on the committee. he was head of the house of representatives in florida. so none of the candidates really have the portfolio to say that
know that. but even more so is the positioning, the expectations headed into the summer. scott walker was going to be the guy who bridged the divide between the establishment and the tea party base. clearly that hasn t happened. you have to think it s because trump has brought the base so far to the right that scott walker can t compete and he can t be he can t find a way to moderate that. as far as who we ll be talking about in the fall, i think jeb bush is in a pretty good position. he s managed to overcome, i think, or at least deal with, minimize, perhaps, his biggest hurdle which is not trump but his last name. he s done an all right job with that except for the stumble over iraq which was a problem. but since then and maybe john kasich depending on how he performs in the debates he s positioned to be an anti-trump. i m writing you down for jeb on that one. jeremy, how about you? i think scott walker definitely has lost a lot of his luster. there s no doubt about that. i thi
