Republican Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said that GOP rival Jeb Bush had “more energy tonight” during Wednesday’s CNN debate.

Trump had repeatedly called Bush a “low-energy” candidate during his campaign.

Bush noted that Trump invited Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to his wedding, which she attended.

“Jeb, I was a businessman. I got along with Clinton, I got along with everybody,” Trump said.

“The fact is,” Bush interjected, as Trump talked over him.

“Excuse me one second,” Trump said.

“No,” Bush responded.

“More energy tonight, I like that,” Trump said, to laughter.

    I think Harry Potter is right. Rump is a false flag and he is hell bent on destroying the GOP. I might actually come to like him.

  2. I love how he’s making Bush look like a child by encouraging him like an adult would a 6 year old.

  3. The Donald: "With all these snarling little chihuahuas in the room, I taped my ankles before I came in."

    That’s obviously Mike Huckster’ on the far right. >>>>>

  4. Seriously, I can see Trump saying fuck all this and walking away AFTER he wins the nomination, leaving the humiliated losers scrambling to take his place.

  5. This is EXACTLY what I’m thinking! I have this picture of Trump on the podium when they put his name in nomination and calling them all losers before turning on his heel.
