distinction here, my wealth frees me from the political establishment, it allows me to say, i don t need your money. it allows me to throw it in their face. i know wealthy candidates make this argument a lot, i think it resonates. the one thing trump brings more than anyone else, he s saying things that people don t say. he s very honest and at times not politically correct, but in this case, the chief critiques of bush are bush is kind of bull, people think, and he s the candidate of the wealthy republican class which is exactly what donald trump said. the danger with donald trump, if you attack him, he won t just attack your views, he ll attack who you are in a way that s pretty resonant, like a lot of democrats and republicans i ve talked to have said, jeb is okay, but he s too dull. donald trump is saying that over and over and over again. and that s a problem for bush even if trump doesn t win the primary. trump also took a shot at bernie sanders who s caught fire.
donald trump is a rich guy. jeb bush is the son of political privilege. they reek of the establishment yet donald trump is drawing this distinction here, my wealth frees me from the political establishment, it allows me to say, i don t need your money. it allows me to throw it in their face. i know wealthy candidates make this argument a lot, i think it resonates. the one thing trump brings more than anyone else, he s saying things that people don t say. he s very honest and at times not politically correct, but in this case, the chief critiques of bush are bush is kind of bull, people think, and he s the candidate of the wealthy republican class which is exactly what donald trump said. the danger with donald trump, if you attack him, he won t just attack your views, he ll attack who you are in a way that s pretty resonant, like a lot of democrats and republicans i ve talked to have said, jeb is okay, but he s too dull. donald trump is saying that over and over and over again. and
