Jeb is busted - big time.

'Feminist' who attacked Trump for being anti-woman turns out to be a planted Jeb Bush staffer



Maybe you've seen the clip. Things got ugly at the "No Labels Problem Solver Convention" when a young woman stood up and attacked Trump for being anti-woman. Her name is Lauren Batchelder, and she doubted that Trump was a "friend to woman." She wanted to know if - unlike President Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton - President Trump would pay women the same as men, and she demanded to know if she would "get to choose" what she does with her body.

Trump defended himself, but that didn't stop CNN from compiling a ridiculous hit piece attacking the candidate. If you've not seen it, you can watch it below: Unfortunately for the young woman in the clip, and for CNN, it turns out that she's not the left-wing firebrand she appears to be. Lauren Batchelder is a staffer for Senator Kelly Ayotte and is currently working for the Jeb Bush campaign in New Hampshire. Oops: Yeah. That doesn't look good. ...Especially when you consider that both Jeb Bush and Kelly Ayotte share Trump's pro-life stance. As The Conservative Treehouse reports, Batchelder's Twitter account has since been deleted and the rest of her social media presence is vanishing as well. Unfortunately for Jeb, she appeared so prominently at so many of his events that the pictures are everywhere. ...And the Trump campaign is having a field day with it. Jeb supporters have been quick to claim "that's just politics." If that's the case, someone should ask them: why is Jeb Bush so bad at it? If he and his GOP-elite allies can't pull off this level of subterfuge without getting busted by a few low-level bloggers, why should anyone trust them to run the country's global affairs? The sheer "terribleness" with which this pathetic scam was perpetrated is so stunning that we should really question the intelligence level of everyone involved. Maybe, just maybe, the Republican establishment should spend less time propping up terrible candidates with cheap tricks, and more time running candidates their party actually wants to vote for. If there was any justice in the Universe, this would be the final nail in Bush campaign's coffin. ....and I'll just leave this here:
