Jeb Bush got trolled Saturday in a hilarious photobomb by young people wearing Republicans for Sanders T-shirts. Some claim these kids wore coats, then unzipped them to reveal the logos on their T-shirts just before CNN reporter Tal Kopan snapped the photo. But the Jeb! campaign insists Bush knew what was going on and posed anyway. Why? Because the idea of “Republicans for Sanders” seemed so danged funny to him .

Alas for the folks on Bush’s lackluster campaign, an awful lot of their fellow right-wingers don’t think Republicans for Sanders is funny at all…In fact, they find it downright threatening. Sure, the Sanders supporters may very well have been liberal imposters who finagled their way in to this weekend’s Republican Leadership Conference on Mackinac Island in Michigan. But they could also very well be the real deal.

Kind of funny. If this was done to Hillary Clinton I think it would be getting more press but who knows?


Haven't had any much political news on the lighter side of things recently so this seems rather fun and innocuous...

I would have to take Bush's word on this one. A video with people running in would be a troll, but posing for a picture with shirts like that, he was aware and, let's face it, they are kind of funny.

Yeah I think it was the situation that they covered the shirts before the picture was taken and Governor Bush did notice the shirts, but decided not to make an issue of it.

Either because it was humorous to him or he's more savvy than people give him credit for since Trump has been busting his balls lately.

Or just because having his picture taken with a group of "Republicans for Sanders" tee shirt kids is less politically damaging than having his picture taken running away from a group of "Republicans for Sanders" tee shirt kids. Either way it's good for a laugh and shows Bush at least arguably not being an idiot, better publicity than he usually manages to arrange for himself.

Yeah that's what I meant by Governor Bush perhaps being more savvy than commonly thought. A savvy person would probably know that going with the joke is better than making a scene about the shirts.

lol It's funny 'cause it's true.

lol Agreed, with the understanding that "more savvy than commonly thought" is a pretty low bar.

If they are Liberals; they are deceitful and liars, like all liberals.

If they are Conservatives; they are truly imaginative, creative AND funny!
