Jeb: Trump using dog whistles

Jeb: Trump using racial 'dog whistle'

"Perhaps even more offensive was the notion that somehow I went down to the border and spoke Mexican," Bush said, referring to Trump's reaction to his visit last week to McAllen, Texas. "Those are dog whistle terms; he knows what he's doing. These are very divisive terms. If we're going to win elections, we need to be much more open, open and optimistic, rather than sending signals that prey on people's angst."

that's one example of Trump's use of a dog whistle, but there are many, many more.

one thing about Republicans, they know their dog whistles and Jeb for sure remembers Poppy's best - the "Willie Horton ad."
oh, yeah, bubbies, that's what the Southern Strategy is all about....riling up the fear and anxiety of white republican voters against minorities.

Donald Trump is expanding his strong lead over the other GOP presidential candidates nationally, according to a new poll, but Ben Carson is also posting a big jump in support.

In the first national Monmouth University pollout since the first Republican presidential debate, released Thursday, the real estate mogul is showing a commanding lead at 30% support. That's up 4 points from a poll taken just before the debate last month, but within the poll's margin of error.

It's also a new high for Trump, narrowly topping the 28% support he registered in a Quinnipiac poll late last month.

But Carson, a neurosurgeon, posted the biggest gain in support since August, jumping 13 points to second place. He is holding down 18% support now among Republicans. That continues a trend of recent polls that show him moving up the list.

It's also Carson's highest recorded number in a national poll, topping a 13% mark in a Fox news poll this spring.

Trump's lead also evaporates when the field is narrowed to just him and Carson. Asked about a head-to-head match-up between those two, Republican voters picked Carson over Trump, 55% to 36%.

Carson was the only candidate to beat Trump in a head-to-head, the poll found.

The poll confirms recent trends of Trump's lasting lead and Carson's surge -- as well as steep drops in support for some more establishment candidates.

Inside Ben Carson's quiet surge

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush fell out of second place, dropping from 12% support in August to 8% now, though that fall is within the margin of error. That tied him for third place with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

That's what the right said about Romney last time. Every time one of the fringe candidates was the leader of the moment, like Cain for awhile, and Gingrich for awhile, etc., the right crowed that the 'establishment candidate' was going down. But Romney was the eventual candidate, as we all knew he would be, and JEB will be the republican candidate in '16.

The "right" was who nominated Romney in the first place. Don't you mean the "extreme right"? The "fringe right"? You know, like the "extreme left" here who constantly attack "the right", bitch about the police and seek to ban private gun ownership?

I just find it very amusing that Jeb! is so desperate to expose Trump that he ends up saying OUT LOUD the typical tactics the GOP uses to appeal to their base.

I have to agree, their base love their flamboyant candidates... matters little re their expertise on policy related matters --- entertainment/excitement appeals to them the most.
It's amazing.

No, I meant the right - the ones who put different candidates at the top of the polls throughout the campaign as they bounced from one shiny object to the next before being saddled with the establishment candidate everyone knew from the outset was going to get the nod. Like JEB this time.

Just like all those who fervently believe in a single ideology.

Wasn't Romney at the top of the polls among "the right"? If not, how did he win the nomination?

He was at some point but not until the right had gone through putting several nutters at the top first. Then the GOP PTB put the guy they wanted on the top just like they will this with JEB.

Insult much?

More likely based on this link: http://www.breitbart.com/immigratio...ants-to-deport-illegal-immigrants-in-boxcars/
“I find it the height of irony that a party which espouses small government would want to unleash a massive law enforcement effort– including perhaps National Guard and others–to go and literally pull people out of their homes and their workplaces,” Hillary explained. Then she added an image which evoked the Nazis: “Round them up, put them, I don’t know, in buses… boxcars, in order to take them across our border.”

Like you, dear @JuliefromOhio, I think the idea is based on a very narrow view of politics.

I already have a $100 bet with @Spamature Jeb and Hillary won't be the ticket in November 2016. Do you care to make the same bet?

You didn't bet $100.

You didn't bet $100.

You did...or are you already weaseling out?
