One-On-One With Jeb Bush In New Hampshire
“If you’re looking for some guy like that, I’m not your guy”. At his town hall, he blasted Obama for bypassing Congress, saying he “doesn’t have the authority to do it” and argued that efforts to close the so-called gun show loop hole won’t “solve any problems”.

MEREDITH, N.H. (AP) Republican Jeb Bush actually has some nice things to say about Donald Trump, but stands by his comment that the billionaire GOP presidential front-runner is a “jerk”. The former president’s popularity has soared in recent years, with a Bloomberg Politics poll in November finding that 77% of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters had a favorable opinion of the former president. “That’s why I called him a jerk, because he disparaged a person who he knew had a disability and made fun of him”.
