“My amendment was a one-page amendment that said anyone here illegally is permanently ineligible for citizenship”, the first-term Texas senator told Greta Van Susteren on Fox News.
The outburst came after a man who said he had Asperger’s Syndrome asked the former Florida governor how he would help people with disabilities as president. Here you have two Senators accusing each other of double-talk and legislative sleight of hand-debating incremental steps toward fixing our broken immigration system-while the outsider business mogul speaks in clear, declarative sentences about building walls and mass deportations. Just when it appeared he was done with his answer, Bush started his rant against his GOP rival. “You can’t disparage women, Hispanics, disabled people”.
“Who is he kidding?” They continued trading shots throughout the week, with Trump calling Bush “dumb as a rock” on Twitter Friday and getting in some fresh insults Saturday while campaigning in Iowa.

I even called for NRSC chairman John Cornyn to RESIGN over his decision to get involved in the race on Crist’s behalf. I’m skeptical. But even if they’re right, they will have to do better than playing tough guys on TV.
