Ignatius: Jeb ‘Was Powerful in Taking out, Calling out Donald Trump’

DICKERSON: “Now for some analysis. Peggy Noonan is a Wall Street Journal columnist, CBS News contributor and the author of ‘The Time of Our Lives.’ David Ignatius is a columnist with The Washington Post. Jeffrey Goldberg is national correspondent for The Atlantic. And Michael Gerson is also a columnist for The Washington Post. David, I will start with you. You had three people there who are auditioning to be commander in chief. What did you make of it?”
IGNATIUS: “My strongest impression was that Jeb Bush did the thing he's got to do to survive as a candidate, which is to sound like a convincing commander in chief. I thought he gave a good account of how he would augment President Obama's strategy for dealing with ISIS, the additional things he'd try to do, a no-fly zone, more forward-leaning position with our special operations forces. I thought he was powerful in taking out, calling out Donald Trump. I thought that this was moment in which he went to the heart of the matter, that Trump is playing on people's fears. This is -- it's getting toward Bush's last chance. So, my takeaway from that was, this is a person who in this environment of anxiety and foreign policy concern can speak to the country's worries.”
