Apparently The Donald scoffs at the "let's leave mothers out of this" rule.

Donald Trump delivered another well-placed jab at Jeb Bush on Monday with a video quoting the former Florida governor’s mother, Barbara saying “We’ve had enough Bushes” run for president.

The video, which the campaign posted on the real estate mogul’s Instagram account, quotes a 2013 clip of the former First Lady responding to a question from NBC asking whether she “would like to see her son run for president.”

“No,” Barbara Bush answers in the clip. “I really don’t. I think its a great country. There are a lot of great families. There are other people out there that are very qualified, and we’ve had enough Bushes.”

“Mother knows best, Jeb!” the text in Trump’s video says tauntingly over footage of the former first lady saying her son should not run for president.

1. I think it's relevant

When the mother gets involved in the political campaign, she makes herself fair game. Barbara has never been shy about opening her poisonous yap.

2. I was being sarcastic, but like Trump or not, it's smart politics

And since we're talking about another Bush eyeballing the White House, I'd use whatever's out there. That particular sound bite is golden and it was smart to use it.

3. There is a "sarcasm" smilie. It comes in handy sometimes. n/t

4. And my response to people who expect me to explain myself...

...is "have a nice day."

A few DUers know what those words mean in my vocabulary.
