(10,721 posts)Trump lies more than any person I can think of, he brags about sexually assaulting women, he indicated that nearly all Mexican immigrants are "rapists and drug dealers," he's committed massive fraud (e.g., Trump University), he never released his tax returns, he surrounds himself with and nominates overt racists, he nominates individuals to run agencies/departments that they despise, he suggested violence against his political opponent, his speeches are substanceless ("We're looking at jobs--big league jobs." and virtually incoherent ("word salad" is how some have described his statements), he makes comments as outlandish as anything said by President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, he repeatedly evades questions (such as when asked for some indication as to what will replace the ACA), he mocked and denied mocking a reporter with a disability, etc., etc., etc.
And I haven't even mentioned the Russia connection, which we knew about before the election.
But Jeb Bush saying "Then come over here and shut me up" would have ended Trump's campaign?!? M'kay.
Trump would have replied with something like, "I would but I'm a gentleman." Or, "It's good to see you finally show a bit of energy, Jeb." His cult following would have laughed and that'd be the end of that.
