For Donald Trump, it wasnt enough to upstage Jeb Bush by booking a town hall meeting at the same time as the former Florida governor. Trump had to attack him, too.
In a 30-minute news conference in Derry, New Hampshire, that was broadcast live on Fox News and CNN, the real estate mogul ripped into his GOP primary rival, saying, I dont think hes electable.
Jeb Bush is a low-energy person. For him to get things done is hard, a feisty Trump said. Trump went after the former Florida governor on multiple fronts, dismissing Bushs positions on education, health care, immigration and foreign policy.
After criticizing Bushs support for the Common Core educational standards, Trump turned to Iraq.

At his town hall later that night his first of the campaign Trump continued the attacks.
Right down the road, we have Jeb very small crowd, he said. You know whats happening to Jebs crowd right down the street? Theyre sleeping now.
Look at the girl in the green yawning.
The youth vote certainly didn’t show up.
.
The woman on the far left of Bush looks like she’s sleeping. Trump was absolutely right about the people sleeping at Bush’s town hall.
OMG, the girl in the back is actually trying to stifle a yawn with her hand! Trump was right about the Bush crowd sleeping.
The optics of this Bush town hall are astonishingly inept. The visuals scream out reinforcement of everything Trump and others are saying about Bush being low-energy, boring, uninspiring, etc.
It’s actually stunning that this is the best that Bush’s supposedly professional handlers can come up with.
Yeah...and the best was at the end....

The one yawning or the one supporting herself against the wall, straining to stay awake? At least the green shirt guy next to them brought his cell phone to play with.
This reporterette needs to learn the meaning of the word “attack.”
Jeb Bush murdered Terri Schiavo.
He starts things, but doesn’t finish.
Bush’s base is the Stop-the-Bickering, Reach-Across-the-Aisle, Work-with-Obama-for-the-Good-of-the-Country crowd.
And Jeb also started using some of Trump’s lines to try to endear himself to his followers by claiming to want to do more to enforce against anchor babies - won’t see Trump adopting any of Jeb’s policies.....
I was watching with interest Yeb’s town hall. Listening to him should be a treatment for insomnia. Trump is right half the room was snoozing. Who the heck was the guy in the back with the Dr. Suess hat on?
These Bush campaign photos are a riot.
Trump had him pegged right from the start.
Hat guy? He could be the Trump plant. Wants Yep to know he is being watch ya know .lol 66
