Still Debatable Whether Rubio Can Think...

Independently on His Feet.

But Trump?  There's no question.
That's the beauty part.  He gives just as good as he gets.

Jeb!:    "Look, I won the lottery when I was born 63 years ago, looked up, and I saw my mom.  My Mom is the strongest woman I know."

Trump:  "She should be running."
-------------------

I think Bushie is full of beans here -- if he had told us he looked up as a 3 month old, after observing her on the job a few months... ok.  But as a newborn baby?  He was just judging her by looks then, if the story is true...

What I remember most about Barbie Bush was when she called Geraldine Ferraro a bitch, back in the day.*
Back in October 1984, when her husband was running for reelection as Reagan’s vice-president, Bush referred to Geraldine Ferraro, Walter Mondale’s running mate on the Democratic ticket, as “the four-million dollar  -- I can’t say it, but it rhymes with ‘witch.'”
The comment came the day after Bush and Ferraro met for their only debate -- the same day that George H.W. Bush was caught bragging to a group of longshoremen that he’d “tried to kick a little ass last night.”
(Earlier that week, Bush’s press secretary, Pete Teeley, had also landed in hot water for saying that Ferraro came across as “too bitchy.”)In the wake of all three comments, Ferraro responded that, “People who have the experience of the Bushes don’t do those things unknowingly.” Barbara Bush ultimately called Ferraro to apologize. 

Ferraro had the balls to run against her husband as VP, and Mama Bear made sure she fought hard for her man.  Likely, it's why her sons turned out the way they did -- always expecting someone else to fight their battles, and hiding behind mother's skirts when their actions led to a the need for a real ass-whooping by somebody stronger who was offended by their warring words and escalations.

It's never too late, you know, for a good ass-kicking.
Maybe you can teach a Bushy boy a thing or two, but you have to do it on terms they know:  overpowering and smashing them to smithereens.  Verbally and in legitimate competition, of course.   
Comprende senor?

* Babs does not seem to like women politicians.  Maybe it's an independence thang?
In an interview set to air tonight, Barbara Bush makes it clear to Larry King that she doesn’t have much enthusiasm for the presidential campaign that Sarah Palin keeps threatening to wage.

“I sat next to her once. Thought she was beautiful,” the former first lady tells the CNN host. “And she’s very happy in Alaska. And I hope she’ll stay there.”

Bush’s apparently dim view of Palin as a politician isn’t exactly surprising. ...
In many ways, she and her husband typify the wealthy, Northeastern, culturally moderate WASP aristocracy that ruled the GOP before the Goldwater/Reagan forces took over.
WASP stings can be deadly.
There's a good reason we spray to avoid them.  Nobody wants the trouble they purposefully stir up.,,
