Trump Spox: Jeb Does Not Meet Donald Trump’s ‘Standard’ of Safety

JANSING: “Let me just ask you really quickly about some things that were written about the debate the other night. From Town Hall they said, quote, about Donald Trump, 'he came off as unhinged, angry and liberal. The National Review said, ‘By the normal rules, Trump’s embracing a blood libel about George W. Bush (he knew there were no WMD in Iraq), saying Planned Parenthood does great things, and often swinging wildly and angrily would hurt him a week out from a primary in Bush-friendly, hawkish, socially conservative South Carolina. But we'll see.' What’s your response? I mean, those are two examples of people who thought frankly that Donald Trump was over the top on Saturday night.”
PIERSON: “Well, Donald Trump was definitely feisty, defending himself and his positions, but I will also say that Donald Trump is an outsider candidate, he is not inside the echo chamber which so many people are used to hearing its same talking points and it's okay to acknowledge that there are, you know, cervical cancer screenings that should be okay, abortion should not be okay. And there are other things like with the war, whether it's intelligence or warnings that went unnoticed, it just still happened under George Bush's watch. And this is one of the things that really driving force for folks on the ground. We don't want more wars. Jeb Bush has hired some of the exact same people and we really have to look back. We’re talking about safety here. The question came up about safety, Chris, and Donald Trump's definition of safety is not the same definition as the Bush or the establishment safety when it comes to building a border wall, visa reform, deportations and stopping immigration from hostile nations. So when it comes to Donald Trump's method of safety Bush does not meet that standard."
