Jeb Bush: Please Don't Vote For Me

So, yeah.

Jeb Bush says that Univision anchor Jorge Ramos, who was escorted out of a press conference held by Donald Trump on Tuesday night, should have been "treated with a little more respect."

"I think people with the press ought to be treated with a little more respect and dignity," he told reporters.

Meanwhile, Mark Haperin asks Trump about... religion.

As you could guess, this goes not so well. It's not terrific, as Trump would say.

Mr. Trump, who is your favorite apostle?

-- I couldn't say, they're all great guys, really super guys, great people.

But specifically, do you have a favorite apostle?

-- Specifically...? I don't know, I want to say, Ringo, maybe? Is Ringo in the mix?

No Mr. Trump, Ringo is not in the mix.

-- Are you sure? Because I hear a lot of buzz about Ringo.

Not in the Bible, though.

-- Well then who's talking up Ringo?

I don't know, Mr. Trump. Cher, maybe? Okay, shifting gears...

-- Oh thank God.

Which is your favorite book of the Bible, Mr. Trump?

-- Oh again with this.

So: Favorite book of the Bible?

-- Yes it's a great book, really fantastic, with the words and sentences and all.

But *which* book is your favorite?

-- The Bible. What did I say already?

But there are more than one book in the Bible. Which is your favorite book?

-- Oh my favorite book of the Bible. Now I understand, yes.

So which is it?

-- Uhh.. Well I love them all, with the wine and the waters and the joy and all that good stuff, but I guess, if you had to pin me down, I guess my favorite book is the one where the blonde girl gets the dragons. What's the name of that book?

Um... I think you mean a Game of Thrones.

-- Yes, that's it. That's my favorite book of the Bible. But so bloody!

Not a book of the actual Bible, though.

-- Is it in the Jewish Bible?

No.

-- Well it's something either way, I'll tell you that. Well, I might not know a lot of specific facts about the Bible, but I try to live by the Golden Rule: "Winter is coming."

No... that's Game of Thrones again.

-- No I'm pretty sure it's a verse in the Bible. Like, "And Jacob said, feast well and bundle up, for Winter is Coming."

Nope, still just Game of Thrones.

-- Well I don't know where it comes from but it's an incredible philosophy. Carl Icann lives his life by it. Very rich man. Owns a lot of furs and space heaters.
