Because the latter just keeps proving that he is the
biggest tool in the world! At least Trump is right about money in
politics, taxing the 1%, and women's health.
Some highlights from last night:
Rand
calls out Jeb for "getting away with" smoking pot as a kid because he's
privileged, but plenty of dark skinned poor people get their lives
ruined by a drug conviction.

Bush
"faulted" Trump for inviting Hillary to his wedding, and Trump said
that everyone on the stage was beholden to their donors but him, who has
refused millions. Of course Jeb tried to deny this.
Trump
also alleged that Dubya's failures is the reason why Obama became the
next president. Then Jeb totally pivoted and said, "At least my brother
kept us safe," to thunderous applause. Kept us safe!?! Didn't 9/11
happen under his watch? How many Americans and our friends died in Iraq
and Afghanistan on his watch? How many vets committed suicide and/or got
addicted to drugs, and how many military families were impacted by
divorces, disabilities, etc.? How much did public health suffer due to
panic/hardships from the financial crisis? And of course - Katrina. His
terrible grasp of historical context is mind-blowing. Yes, Trump sucks
about facts and policy. But he's a CEO and manages his own brand, so at
least he gets big picture stuff better than those other bureaucrats.

It's
kind of funny how it was everyone-vs-Trump now. He's not used to
getting called out and attacked (more than he's dishing out) I'm sure.
But it might backfire and make Trump look more sympathetic/righteous. Of
course every front-runner has to deal with more scrutiny, but the roles
dynamic is interesting here. To his supporters, the DC establishment is
trying to sink Trump because he's a legit threat now an would really
shake things up if he got power. But that is why Trump is popular, so I
doubt his fans would prefer to support guys like Jeb or Rubio just
because they seem to know more about policy. I guess his fans would
prefer that he not utter so many apish insults, but he fires them up,
which is more than the other hopefuls can claim. Can we please have at
least 6 of those losers bow out this week!?!

Have some self-respect, man. Dubya is twice the man Jeb is (for better or worse).
