Jeb Bush Lashes Out: ‘I’ve Got a Lot of Really Cool Things I Could Do’ Instead of Campaigning and also from the NY Times.
Jeb Bush let his agitation show on the campaign trail today when he complained about gridlock and partisanship in South Carolina.
A day after his campaign slashed staff and salaries to retrench ahead of the Iowa caucuses, Jeb Bush decried the toxic tone of the presidential race and suggesting that “demonizing” people isn’t what he signed up for in this campaign.
Mr. Bush made the remarks at a town hall in South Carolina, where, according to a report by CNN, he seemed fired up about taking on the person who has overshadowed him during the campaign, Donald J. Trump, who is leading most Republican polls so far.
“If this election is about how we’re going to fight to get nothing done, then I don’t want any part of it. I don’t want to be elected president to sit around and see gridlock just become so dominant that people literally are in decline in their lives. That is not my motivation. I’ve got a lot of really cool things I could do other than sit around, being miserable, listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them. That is a joke. Elect Trump if you want that,” he said.
Wild Thing’s comment.………
From this quote and some others Jeb shows he has a temper to some degree. He is not doing well so he is saying truly stupid things instead of taking the high road.
