Barbara Bush Gives Jeb! an Early Birthday Present: 35 Seconds of Attention
The long fight between Jeb Bush and Donald Trump reached a new level of personal after the real estate mogul called out his opponent for relying on his “mommy” to gain support. Maybe you consider it a responsibility; maybe it’s a burden to you.

As Jeb Bush’s campaign continues its internal deliberations on how to best publicly deploy Mr. Bush’s older brother – if at all – a conference call on Thursday with alumni from the George Bush and George W. Bush presidential administrations yielded yet another clue. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul pushed criminal justice reform and the dangers of the national debt. In the September FAU poll, Trump had 31.5 percent.
Despite sexist remarks, racist ads, and inexplicable rants, Donald Trump is STILL leading in the polls.
After Ted Cruz earned ‘Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson’s endorsement, Marco Rubio picked up his own reality TV star as Rick Harrison of “Pawn Stars’ said he’s supporting Rubio.
Although Bush has taken Trump on, he has never quite taken him all the way down. Three years later, Bush’s grandson, George P., used those same words to praise Cruz during his Senate run.
Rising tensions reflect Cruz potentially helping to dent the Bushes position as one of the nation’s pre-eminent political families. Many Republican operatives expect the 43rd president to make an appearance on behalf of his brother in SC, where his popularity has barely waned. The two areas in which Trump has distinguished himself so far are, according to New Hampshire Republicans, in dealing with the economy and with the Islamic State group, or ISIS. Whether that’s true is another story-the rest of the Tweet just says he was “supportive of a lot of causes” that Hillary cared about. “I’m not going to be in the witness protection program”. “I believe I would have the steady hand to be able to be a commander-in-chief that you would be proud of”.
Barbara Bush hasn’t always been in favor of her son running. He said Trump’s criticism of him personally has not affected his campaign; instead he’s gained strength from tough questions from voters.
