The Donald Upstages Jeb Bush!<\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

by Rich Scheck<\/p>\n

Wow! For those like myself who find it hard to like Donald Trump and
\nsupport his presidential bid, what he did today was very impressive!<\/p>\n

By requesting that CNN donate the profits from next week’s debate
\nto a variety of veteran’s groups, he not only ingratiated himself to millions
\nof military men but also to countless prospective voters who will find this
\ngesture both attractive and authentic.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump just put CNN in an\u00a0awkward position<\/a><\/h3>\n

On top of that, he timed this pronouncement perfectly to upstage Jeb
\nBush’s Kennedyesque tax cut proposal that the former Florida Governor
\nput forth today during a Fox News interview.<\/p>\n

Bush looked flat and uninspiring in promoting a compelling idea. The
\nnewscasters seemed to be prompting him on some of the talking points.<\/p>\n

By contrast, Trump always seems upbeat and spirited. This aliveness\u00a0is
\none of his chief assets and will help him in the general election against
\nthe stiff persona of Hillary should he capture his party’s nomination.<\/p>\n

Those eager to waylay Trump’s march towards the White House now have
\na new hurdle to overcome as The Donald continues to generate momentum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
