Tonight’s Catfight: Donald Trump vs. The Republican Establishment. Trump has been leading for three months now, and the GOP is starting to panic because Trump doesn’t listen to them. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“On Friday, Donald Trump generated substantial controversy when he asserted that George W. Bush was president at the time of the 9/11 attacks.
“When you talk about George Bush, I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time,” Trump said. “He was president, O.K.?”
Jeb Bush immediately pushed back, calling Trump’s comments “pathetic” and insisting “my brother kept us safe.”
The media jumped on to the burgeoning controversy. According to The New York Times the idea that Bush was president on 9/11 and failed to stop the attack is a “break from the GOP.””*

Great show Cenk. George Bush will not campaign for his brother because he is not that smart and will make a gaffe. Everyone forgets that two months after Bush was elected the first term Karl Rove saw that he could not explain Cheneys policies so made an announcement that Bush would not be taking anymore impromptu questions from the media. I wish people would look this up. This alerted me to the fact that Cheney was the actual policy maker and Bush just went along for the 8 year ride.
