Trump also isn’t kicking Bush while he’s down or “punching down” with these viral video stings. Would anyone have believed, just a few months ago, that Donald Trump would be accused of beating up on the wimpiest kid in class by going after Jeb Bush, once portrayed as the nigh-inevitable Establishment prince in waiting, his fundraising totals so incandescent that other candidacies would melt away before them?
But here we are, watching Conventional Wisdom grapple with the idea that Trump seems to be picking on small fry with a viral video that, far from “ribbing” Bush, contrasts his infamous “illegal immigration is an act of love” remarks with images of illegal alien murderers.
This is not a new line of attack for Trump. He’s made precisely the same contrast between Bush’s “Act of Love” line and illegal alien murderers on the stump, such as a speech he gave in Michigan about three weeks ago:
These quick hits on Instagram – including previous jabs at the first President Bush’s historic “read my lips, no new taxes” blunder, and the second President Bush joking about WMD in Iraq – are meant to keep Jeb Bush on the mat,

I think we’ll call him ‘Take no prisoners Trump’
Sorry Jeb, your brother was largely the reason you lost before you even got out of the gate.
He should bow out gracefully now to limit the embarrassment.
Trumps ridicule of Yeb!, making him look like a hapless schmuck, is intended to drive away Yeb’s donors who are getting very skittish about investing in a chump mired at 9%, who was the man to beat a few months back
It’s working. Jeb is slipping. GopE is deeply saddened.
Sit down!
Be careful what we wish for. The establishment could very well get behind Carson if he is polling in Trump territory.
I like Dr. Carson, but in the end, last thing we need is another Black first, American second (with Obama 6th) President.
And it isn't taking much effort. I have to wonder if Trump wasn't in the race if Yeb wouldn't be in the same spot.
That poll is strange. Read it. Said only 12% were sure of who they would vote for. I think DJT is still ahead by about 10 points.
Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs. We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program's lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two. Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas. This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program. Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.
Trump and Bush will destroy each other. Bush has attack ads lined up, as well.
Cruz will be above the fray and win. Carson can be his VP.
the gope does not get sad. They find a fungable replacement.
if not jeb then Kasich
then graham
then perry
then rubio
then cristi
then Fiorina
then paul
then Gilmore
then walker
then carson
then santorum
then pataki
then Jindal then ...
ANYONE who takes the “e”’s money is suspect and dependent.
to the “e” they are all just clones. Talk cheep do nothing.
Trump is destroying Jeb. Jeb is going to spend soo much money fighting back 15 months out from the primary and his major donors know it and are right now recalculating their ROI on Jeb and are coming up very short.
what “image?”
that of a pussy willow??
Jeb reminds me of why we actually need bullies.
Finish Him!
¡Yeb! is still the RNC choice and the choice of The Cheap Labor Express. He has lots of money. Until he withdraws, he is still The Designated Loser.
If we can nominate a non-amnesty candidate, we will win.
Exactly!
No dynasty!
Then, one by one, hit the next most liberal candidates, in succession.
