Jeb Bush: "If someone comes at me, bam! I'll come back at 'em," smacking a fist into a palm.

Jeb Bush vows to come out swinging in next U.S. Republican debate, September 14, 2015

Initially stung when Trump, 69, pinned the "low-energy" label on him, Bush is taking a two-prong approach, joking about it and showing more fire on the campaign trail. He plans to take a more aggressive tack at the debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

"If someone comes at me, bam! I'll come back at 'em," he said in Salem, smacking a fist into a palm. "I'll campaign hard."






I would comment further, but it hurts to laugh this much.

I am convinced that is what W. did when he went up against Gore. He was flying pretty high.

Claiming he was taller and more burly than his tormentors.... as he hid in the broom closet. Heh.


Jeb certainly knows all about milk, as in "milking his donors", and in peddling his "education reform":


At the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, Jeb Bush posed the following question:

Everywhere in our lives, we get the chance to choose.

Go down any supermarket aisle – you’ll find an incredible selection of milk.

You can get whole milk, 2% milk, low-fat milk or skim milk. Organic milk, and milk with extra Vitamin D. There’s flavored mil—chocolate, strawberry or vanilla—and it doesn’t even taste like milk. They even make milk for people who can’t drink milk.

Shouldn’t parents have that kind of choice in schools?


In his time since leaving the Florida Governor mansion, Mr. Bush’s nonprofit, the Foundation for Excellence in Education, pushed public policies that offer the educational equivalent of spoiled milk. These policies also happened to benefit one of his foundation’s donors, Herndon, Virginia based K12 Inc., a pedagogically controversial virtual charter school management company.


That ain't even the half of it.


Thanks for the laugh, Adenoid_Hynkel.

when George the Elder was described by someone as looking like "everyone's ex husband." 😄

Jeb has that charm as well. 😂

As to which candidate is the most publicly embarrassing. It's okay to enjoy this, isn't it?

Now all Jeb!'s handlers need to do is explain to him who came at him. I'm guessing that Jeb! will spend his time coming back at the usual kick-down suspects of the Republicans: Poor persons, immigrants, persons of color, sexual minorities, and Democrats. Forget about throwing a verbal punch at T Rump, Jeb! won't even throw shade at him.
