    Jeb Bush: Prospect of Donald Trump presidency 'scary'
    Jeb Bush says the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency is "kind of scary."

    The former Florida governor blasted Trump, saying he doubts the real estate mogul's readiness for the White House, in an appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday.

    "I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt to see how the campaign unfolded," Bush said. "But if you listen to him talk, it's kind of scary to be honest with you, because he's not a serious candidate."

    "He doesn't talk about the issues at hand that are of national security importance for our country -- to keep us safe is the first priority of the president. And he's all over the map, misinformed at best and preying on people's fears at worst," he added.

    Bush has become more critical of Trump in recent days, hitting him for failing to stop attendees at a campaign rally from roughing up a Black Lives Matter protester and over Trump's claims -- which fact-checkers have called false -- that Muslim-Americans in New Jersey celebrated the 9/11 attacks.

    Bush also criticized Trump's approach to Syria, saying he has shifted positions repeatedly.

    "And the net effect of this is in these really serious times he's not a serious leader," he said.

    Bush was asked about one of his advisers' reference to Trump as a fascist -- a word also used by an adviser to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and several other Republicans.

    "Look, I just think he's uninformed. He knows what he's saying. He's smart. He's playing you guys like a fiddle, the press, by saying outrageous things and garnering attention. That's his strategy, is to dominate the news," Bush said.

    Bush also said "anybody is better than Hillary Clinton" when it comes to the presidency, but, "I'll let the voters decide about Donald Trump. I'm pretty confident that the more they hear of him the less likely he's going to get the Republican nomination."

    Ohio Gov. John Kasich, another Republican presidential contender, also criticized Trump, saying on ABC's "This Week" that Trump "absolutely mocked" a disabled reporter for disputing Trump's characterization of a 2001 newspaper article about Muslims in New Jersey celebrating 9/11.

    "Look, it's about whether we want to have a leader who unifies the country. I mean, Trump has criticized and insulted women, Hispanics, Muslims and reporters," Kasich said.

    Who said punish, just being aware America has had two presidents descended from a Nazi in recent times and might soon have a third is enough. It should be brought up in every debate he takes part in.

    Of course it is scary for Bush and his donors if a candidate they cannot control gets elected. I mean think of it a president that actually wants to help Americans instead of his wealthy donors! Ahhhh!

    Jeb is an asshat. The "issues" he finds important are the issues his donors tell him are important. He should take his stammering, hunch backed self back to Florida where Trump is cleaning his clock in the polls! Hahahaha!

    Bush has a point....A President Trump IS a scary thought, especially is you are another nation. You would seriously need to re-evaluate the relationship with the United States and wonder about U.S stability.

    Prescott Bush was convicted of helping fund the Nazis and took part in an attempt to overthrow FDR in a Nazi coup, there's nothing BS about it, he was a Nazi.

    I think Jeb Bush shares what plenty of Americans feel about a Trump Presidency being scary.
