http://www.politico.com/blogs/south-carolina-primary-2016-live-updates-and-results/2016/02/gop-debate-2016-trump-911-219260"Donald Trump invoked the September 11th, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center to tear into Jeb Bush at Saturday night's debate, saying they were in part a result of George W. Bush's national security failures.
The World Trade Center came down during your brothers reign. Remember that," Trump said to the former Florida governor.
Trump went back to the line of attack moments later, after Marco Rubio also defended George W. Bush's record, saying he was grateful it was not Al Gore in the White House on 9/11.
"The World Trade Center came down during the reign of George Bush. He kept us safe? That is not safe. That is not safe, Marco. That is not safe," he continued. "The world Trade Center came down because Bill Clinton [didn't] kill Osama bin Laden when he had the chance to kill him. And George Bush-- by the way, George Bush had the chance, also, and he didn't listen to the advice of his C.I.A."

For the next 4 years I intend to stay close to my bunker, not travel, protect my retirement, make sure the family does not starve and has a place to retreat on our farm.

(1,237 posts)I honestly thought that this was going to be the end of his campaign when I watched it happen. Republicans are still in denial about Bush's failures, imagine the wedge this would've created if the networks didn't bury it. They still fail to bring it up no matter how relevant it is to the discussion.
