Meghan Kelly Pulls Down Jeb Bush's Big-Boy Pants and Gives Him an Open-Handed Spanking




This poor little candidate, stuck at 7% in the GOP polling, still thinks another Bush is going to be acceptable to the American electorate. Kelly puts Bush squarely in the Benghazi vs. 911 crosshairs of Trump's critique of Bush-W's lack of keeping the country safe back in 2001. She even wonders/asks if he is going to back out of the race due to his low polling.

Love the fact that he tries to pull Kelly into his own Trump problem, suggesting she is up against the same problem, but she retorts that the difference is SHE is not running for President and Jeb Bush is. LOL

They need to maneuver someone in ahead of Trump and Carson, and time is growing short. Maybe they don't care, having concluded Clinton will win no matter who they run.

he made a decent case for himself. Kelly didn't give him a spanking so much as a chance to explain himself.

Both were laughing at the Trump reference-- Kelly knows she is at the Mercy of the Trump mouth. As are we all.

They always have a slant, they are never doing anything that we should cheer or pass along. Just don't do it

I just hope that whoever wins the democratic parties nomination in the primaries is willing to use this "proof" if Bush happens to be the republican nominee. It could also be used in ads showing Jeb saying his brother "kept us safe", and then show the PDB he ignored.

AND he had to be questioned in private with Dick Cheney there to tell him what to say or, more importantly to their way of doing things, what NOT to say.

Megyn Kelly starts out great, but then when Jebbie says Trump doesn't know what he's talking about when Trump says Tenet/Georgie got warnings about Bin Laden possibly striking, she then drops the ball! She should have come back to say "yes, Trump does know what he's talking about because Tenet/Georgie did get warnings!" I, of course, can't stand Trump, but he is very right about this and Megyn and others should not drop the ball on this when they talk to Jebbie about it!

The moves will reduce the campaign's payroll by 40 percent, while also cutting travel costs by 20 percent and eliminating extraneous overhead spending. Most campaign officials were told of the cost-cutting on Friday.

The changes mark a significant setback for a campaign that spent months building a large operation, but there are no signs Bush is on the verge of withdrawing from the race.

he's an egotistical maniac who thinks that by virtue of his last name, it's enough to get him elected president by stealing the vote the same way his brother became president.

Anyone not a white male. Specifics, please Jeb ( rather than back to Dubya). Megan: trim your hair down to shoulder length. (See, I can get with the Fox program).

Well I don't know about that, but I do know that the WTC had been attacked before, making this a ridiculous attempt at a defense either way.
