An excerpt of Jeb Bush's interview on Fox and Friends on Monday. Bush: Trump wouldn't have shushed Clinton

Donald Trump wouldn’t dare tell Hillary Clinton to be quiet during a debate, Jeb Bush said Monday, after the real-estate mogul gave him a version of the silent treatment during last Saturday’s debate.

“Yeah, you think he’s going to shush Hillary Clinton? I mean, come on,” the former governor of Florida said during an interview with “Fox & Friends,” speaking from Manchester, New Hampshire.


Co-host Steve Doocy interjected, remarking that Trump might do as he had done to Bush, raising a finger during a particularly spirited exchange over eminent domain and telling him to be “quiet.”

“Well, he would lose. That’s the point,” Bush said. “People want someone who has a steady hand as president of the United States. We’re living in dangerous times, and you can’t say the things he says, you can’t disparage people, you can’t divide the nation and expect to win.”

Trump, Bush continued, views the campaign as a “reality TV show” and a “form of entertainment,” contrasting it with his own approach.

“I wake up each day and say, ‘Wow, I’m running for president of the United States, the greatest country on the face of the earth, where people are suffering right now, but it’s in our history to be able to fix these things so that people can be lifted up,’” Bush said.
