“And I have seen some of the best of them”, the billionaire businessman said in a statement.

Limbaugh first speculated on Monday’s show that Trump was really reaching out to South Carolina Democrats in Saturday’s debate when he slammed President George W. Bush’s handling of terrorism and praised Planned Parenthood – except on abortion.
Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz walks onto the USS Yorktown to give a speech on global security and expanding the USA military on February 16, 2016 in Mt Pleasant, South Carolina. Mr Trump also accused Jeb Bush of being a “hypocrite, liar, and another clueless politician”. But he argued the country needs a president like his brother who can be a “steady” and calm hand in the White House in order to fix the country’s problems – not someone who offers empty “bluster”. It is not theatrics.
Mr Trump said Mr Bush entering the fray would make him “fair game” for attacks about the Iraq war and his record on the economy. He then said, “All of the sloganeering and all of the talk doesn’t matter if we don’t win”. “Yeah, actually, I think you kind of can say there’s some partial blame there for Bush”. Of the latter pursuit, Bush said he knows that “the signature is worth more than the painting”.
But at a time when voters are rejecting the governing establishment, the rally carried risks for Jeb. Jeb Bush derides it as Trump’s willingness to insult his way to the White House.
Friends say he’s remained engaged in his brother’s campaign behind the scenes and like their father, has struggled to comprehend how Trump has taken command of a party he once led. But she said Trump represents “everything a governor doesn’t want in a president”. Trump’s insistence that the World Trade Center fell down during Jeb’s brother’s reign met boos. But he rolled up his sleeves, and he inspired us, and he kept us safe.
Even with his commanding lead, he was calling on supporters to crowd the polls. It would be unbelievable if W., who started out as Jeb’s biggest liability, is the one to save him from a devastating defeat in the Palmetto State. “Now Iraq is Harvard for terrorism”.
Bush spoke movingly Monday night about the moment he learned about the September 11 attacks.
Cruz, a staunch conservative Republican, even referenced the historic words of two past Democratic presidents as an example of inspiring words, Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy.
“I think he’s an unstable person”, he adds, later declaring: “He’s nuts”.
If the day projected a united front against Trump, it also felt like a flashback to the mid-2000s. For Jeb, the presidential candidate who was supposed to run away with the nomination, his brother is a one- man WMD.
“We’ve become tree farmers”.
“I grew up in Queens and no tough guy ever came out of Jamaica Estates”, said King.
First-term Senator Rubio, mindful of the large evangelical population in the state, told a town hall in Beaufort early Tuesday that his faith would help guide his decisions in the Oval Office. The former reality TV host also called Ted Cruz “desperate” during his press conference in Charleston, South Carolina.
But that all changed after Trump’s attacks on the former president.
Donald Trump told SC voters Tuesday to be wary of aircraft giant Boeing opening a plane finishing plant in China, saying he would not let it happen if he were president.
J. BUSH: And I look back during my brother’s time.
DON GONYEA, BYLINE: Since leaving office, George W. Bush has been mostly out of the public eye, making news for his hobbies like oil painting.
But this isn’t the only thing Trump said during the debate that caught my attention.

He said, “I am the strongest on the borders and I will build a wall, and it will be a real wall”. But Rush said this may have been part of a strategy to appeal to Dems and independents in South Carolina’s open primary.
