Jeb Bush has just given Donald Trump more ammunition…
During a town hall in Nevada Wednesday, #BlackLivesMatter shut it down while Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush spoke to potential supporters. Just as Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders did Saturday, Bush failed miserably at controlling the angry mob proving that both men are not the leaders they claim to be.
Yes, Trump is absolutely correct when he calls behavior such as this a disgraceful display of weakness.

As Bush wrapped up a question and answer session, about a dozen activists entered the community center, raising their fists and chanting, black lives matter.
Some Bush backers responded with chants of All lives matter! and White lives matter!, according to media reports.
The former Florida governor left soon after, shaking hands with supporters as he exited the meeting.
Earlier in the evening, Bush responded to a question about race and the criminal justice and education systems.
Look, we have serious problems, Bush answered. And these problems have gotten worse in the last few years. Communities can no longer trust the basic institutions in our society.
He acknowledged that racism still existed in America, but touted significant progress on the issue.
Black Lives Matter advocates have disrupted several other presidential campaign events across the country in recent months.
Last week, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders ended an event in Seattle after protesters took over the stage. And at Julys Netroots Nation convention, a forum for liberal activists, OMalley and Sanders were both interrupted during their speeches.
