Trump: Jeb Is a ‘Total Stiff’

BREZINSKI: “Joining us by phone Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Good to have you on the show this morning.”
TRUMP: “Good morning.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Donald, very good —“
TRUMP: “I loved listening to Chris. That was great. He is a talented guy. Now he is more talented than I thought, but he’s great, he’s great. Thank you, Chris, very much.”
MATTHEWS: “Thank you, Donald for that —” [crosstalk]
SCARBOROUGH: “So, Donald, you have a lot of people wearing Donald Trump buttons here who would like you very much to be here tomorrow morning in person, so we hope to see you here tomorrow morning, but I know this is a last second thing.”
BRZEZINSKI: “This group right here.”
SCARBOROUGH: “So I want — a couple of things. Mika asked people to do word association games and said your name — Chris Christie said friend.”
TRUMP: “Right.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Jeb Bush — Jeb Bush went in an opposite direction, he said loser. What’s your response?”
TRUMP: “Here is the story, I mean, we have to say it like it is. He will say that I said things and that I never said — you know, I never called John McCain a loser, you know that. I like John McCain, he is a nice guy. I never called him a loser. The other man I supposedly called a loser, I don’t even know who it is, I don’t know who the man is. Jeb is mixing things up. Here is the story on Jeb, he is a stiff — (Laughter) who you wouldn’t hire in private enterprise. OK? This is a stiff. This is a guy that if he came looking for a job you’d say no thank you, and that’s the way it is. He used — just so you understand — he talks about eminent domain, he doesn’t even know what the words mean. Eminent domain — his family used eminent domain privately on the stadium in Texas that just came out this morning. He forgot to tell you, he probably didn’t know, because he is probably not that involved with his family. In fact, he doesn’t even use the last name Bush which was in the [indecipherable]. But Jeb Bush is — he will spend $100 million on ads, spent $25 million on negative ads on me. And every time he does a negative ad my poll numbers go up, it’s a weird thing. But the guy is a total stiff. He’s not going anywhere. Remember this for the voters, he wants common core and he is very weak on immigration. Remember they came in for love, remember the act of love, he said they come to our country for the act of love. Jeb is weak on immigration and common core, he wants it 100 percent and just those two items he can’t do very well. But he’s got to go around and stop lying, because I never called John McCain a loser. It’s a really — really said when you have to say that.”
