Jeb Bush: “Mr. Trump's plans are not -- not grounded in conservative principles. It would cost hundred of billions. It is not…”

Mr. Trump's plans are not -- not grounded in conservative principles. It would cost hundred of billions. It is not realistic. It won't be implemented. And we need border security to be able to deal with getting this country back on track. So I am not going to get into the issues of what he said and I said. The simple fact is that his proposal is unrealistic, it will cost hundred of billions of dollars, it will violate people's civil liberties, it will create friction with our third largest trading partner that's not necessary. And I think he is wrong about this.
