1. THAT was crazy

That woman sure backed off fast. Who was she?

[BeyondGeography]

3. Jeb is walking back his huge "I would also have invaded Iraq" blunder already. nt

[czarjak]

4. Hispanic, female, republican...

Sorry Ana, not possible. But be sure and stay in lock-step.

[PatrynXX]

14. ahem up until 2008 that was reality

Until John McCain made it a Republican issue. being against one group of people or whatever for being illegally in this country was bipartisan. But after John McCain it isn't.. although I'm mostly against illegals but I'm not for shooting babies at the fucking border like some in 2009 were going

[Iliyah]

5. Oh please and he will get a pass from corporate media.

Dems not so much.

[PatrynXX]

15. although Corporate anything never had it so good under Obama

smh

[rtracey]

17. media maybe

voter no....he blew it. He proved he is as much a war monger as his brother, and it will kill his chances with independent voters...

[Thinkingabout]

6. He had his canned answer to the question of would have he invaded Iraq and he had it planned

to say Hillary would also have invaded but this was not the question so he says he "misheard" when it was in his plan to say Hillary would have invaded also. I don't think Hillary would have jumped in and invaded before all other avenues was used, if W had waited for the inspections to have completed then there would not have been no WMD's and no need for invasion. W also misheard the IWR details or just bypassed what the bill said. Maybe Jeb should say W misheard the IWR.

[zebonaut]

7. Can't vote for Jeb; since he has "hearing" issues

[Spitfire of ATJ]

11. Yeah, he might even twist things so someone has WMDs.

[erronis]

19. Like "hearing voices" from god (or chinnie?)

But, god made me do it.

[jaxind]

8. Cheney

Cheney also should have been pummeled with his views! He still says today that had he known then what he knows now, that we still should have gone in! He repeatedly says this when asked if it was a mistake. He never says that it was a mistake, and that it was based on faulty intelligence. Instead, he says that it was the right decision that we went in and got rid of Hussein. I know Cheney isn't running for anything, but I want him to get so pummeled that at least he would know that he will be going down in history as a horrible, horrible vice-president no matter how much he tries to distort the facts to build up his image!

9. Add Anna Navarro to the list of horrifying things another Bush admin would bring us.

That "Ex-Bush Adviser" title they gave her is baloney. She hitched her wagon to JEB!'s star years ago and has been holding on ever since.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

10. It's too early in the morning to think....

Perfect.

[grasswire]

12. yeah, and why should we listen to her then?

She's trying to establish a point about JEB, and then says it's too early in the morning to think clearly about what he said or what he emailed her.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

13. Might as well have said, "I do my best lying after I've had my coffee."

[SmittynMo]

16. Misheard?

I call BULLSHIT!!! The correct term is misunderstood, which tells me the IQ of this guy, and his inability to answer a simple question. It's wasn't a tricky question at all. I'm sure his political support team prepared his "misheard" answer. OMG, its another Dubya!!!!!

Another one bites the dust. This is turning out to be an interesting race for the GOP again. Choo Choo!!!!

[Politicalboi]

18. But he inserted Hillary in his answer

Where's Bab's to help her son in his time of need.

[EEO]

20. Wow. So ridiculous.

[drray23]

21. well it did sound odd

She asked, "knowing what we know now, etc.." and he starts answering saying he would do it all over again given the intelligence that was given at the time... Well, the whole premise of the question was "given what we know now". I dont think he understood that or he was so caught up in delivering his attack lines on Hillary that he fumbled it all. For the record, I have no doubt he is that dumb and would have gone to war as well. His response however, did not mach the question.
