Trump, you know, to his credit was very smart at exploiting these kind of opportunities. He’s a master at understanding how the media works – more than anybody I’ve seen in politics. Kudos to him for, you know, kind of creating the environment and then manipulating the environment to his effect. The tragedy of this though, is that there isn’t going to be a wall built.

The reality is, that’s not going to happen. And people are going to be deeply frustrated and the divides will grow in our country.

— Jeb Bush, telling NBC News that voters are going to “feel betrayed” by Donald Trump if he wins the election.
