Contoocook, New Hampshire (CNN) While Jeb Bush has been railing against Donald Trump all week, he still had more to say on Saturday, uttering perhaps his strongest comments yet about the Republican presidential front-runner.

Somebody is giving Jeb B. bad advice. His name-calling only makes himself look stupid and desperate. btw, what names has he called Ms. Hillary?
Not to mention his money people. This nonentity will burn 100 million of other people's dollars by The Hawkeye Cauci on February 1, and come up empty handed.
“he’s getting ready to buy off Trumps delegates so Trump will lose...”
Strategy wise you may be right, but...
Trump has more money.
Did Bush sign the agreement to support the eventual Republican Nominee?
I’ll amend my remarks to state the Saudi Royal family has more money than Trump.
Given that, wouldn’t it be prudent for Trump to ask the following to both Kasich and Bush:
You both have stated emphatically Donald Trump will not be the nominee.
Yet, polling is clear. A majority of Republicans have chosen Donald Trump as their candidate for the next President of the United States.
What information do you have confirming your declaration?
...and furthermore, why do you gleefully support cheating Americans out of their candidate?
‘A jerk’ doesn’t cut it, Jeb. You should call him a big stinky poo-poo head.
He hasn’t yet? LOL
Time to start calling Jeb “Snippy.”
No, he called them the âDouble Bubbaâ ticket.
He did call them bozos. Google it. You may not remember, but it was big news at the time.
Jebbers...zooming towards the bottom and eventual oblivion.
Unless he’s contractually prohibited, I hope Trump unleashes the well known you’re terrible and it’s time for you to go along with the signature “YOU’RE FIRED” on Jeb. Just dismissing him like that would be hugely entertaining.
Surrender, Jeb!
Maybe Jeb has more money backing him than some realize...old money.
I do not believe George agrees with his dad’s choices (Prescott) and maybe this is why he and Barbara had little to do with his family.

Trump knows how to jerk YOUR chain, Yebby Tippytoes.
dolt!
Doesn’t Jem know that Trump entered the race out of love? What is wrong with him? Is he a hater?
Jeb.. WAKE UP.. those kinds of tactics ONLY WORK for TRUMP.
Her daughter gave him an essay she wrote called "Trump the Chump", and Jebbers read out loud to his staff amidst great merriment and asked if he could keep it.
She has the whole story, with pictures, up on her Facebook. She's proud. Jebbers looks like a goober in the pictures.
Jeb’s father George H.W. Bush, and his brother George W. Bush, both ran for President in their first campaigns as “conservatives”, something they were not. Jeb has made the mistake of running as the moderate compromiser he father and brother became once they assumed office. Unlike his father and brother Jeb decided to run as who is is, not as what the public wants. Given a choice between more moderation (i.e. capitulation to the global socialist agenda) and nationalistic positions on key issues (trade, immigration) the voters are choosing candidates who spout nationalistic themes.
From a marketing perspective it is simple to diagnose Bush’s problems: #1 is integrity. The voters were betrayed by his father and brother so the Bush brand has not equity. #2 Product. The positions he is supporting on the two major issues (trade, immigration) are not congruent with the desires of the voters. #3 Packaging. Bush is not performing well on the stump or in the debates. His advertising is weak. In a year when the public is looking for strong, aggressive and highly differentiated candidates he shows up as bland and generic. Any retail merchant can tell you if bright orange is the color of the season, and your product is beige, you will sell 1/20th or fewer of the number of orange sold no matter how you price or promote your product. Jeb is beige in an orange year. The only thing to admire about Jeb and his campaign is he is not running a campaign of deception like his father and brother.
From a business perspective Jeb should have already cut his losses (like Walker did) and gone home. Survivors in the business world at the first inkling a product will not sell, end production, take the markdowns to clear the shelf, and go back to the drawing board to try with a redesigned or new product. By staying in the race, and being humiliated by Trump daily, Jeb is ensuring he will be unable to pull a Nixon and run again in 2020 or even run for Senator in Florida when Nelson’s term is up.
GHWB undermined Reagan’s legacy and his candidacy back in 1980 too. Reagan wasn’t perfect, but it was downright offensive that Bush ran as a Reagan conservative in 1988 then reneged on everything. The new Meacham book even documents that Bush, right after the election, mentioned to Dukakis in a post-election phone call that he would raise taxes in his second year!
