Jeb Bush said Donald Trump doesn't represent the views of most Republicans, offering his most aggressive comments so far on the real estate titan who's used inflammatory language when talking about immigrants.
"This is a guy who was a Democrat for most of the last decade. I don't think he represents the Republican Party, and his views are way out of the mainstream of what most Republicans think," Bush told reporters after an Independence Day parade in Merrimack, New Hampshire, according to The New York Times.

(93,871 posts)I used to see Trump at Democratic fundraisers in NYC in the early 2000s. I don't think he has any particular political philosophy, other than pushing whatever gets him the most publicity.

(4,459 posts)JBoosh doesn't really believe Trump is or use to be a Dem. But his campaign has determined that some % of the electorate will hear that statement, it will bounce around in their head for a while, and then sink partially into some sub-conscious realm, only to periodically pop out at cook outs and truck rallies.... "Hey, did you know Trump use to be a democrat?" Eventually, after approximately 16.1 months of percolation in the brain, they simply associate Trump with Democrats. At that point, they pull a lever against Democrats because Democrats think all immigrants are rapists.
And it will work.
