Jeb team calls Marco Rubio the Republican Obama - despite senator being Bush's protege
Long-simmering tussle between former governor Bush and current senator Rubio appears about to boil over The first-term senator recently overtook the favorite son governor in state polls Bush has been sliding in the polls and recently turned to his family for fundraising help The long-watched and long-awaited feud between Floridians Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio appears to be official on the Republican side of the 2016 presidential nomination race.
Bush, Florida's governor from 1999 to 2007, and Rubio, a former House speaker and U.S. senator since 2011, have been veering toward taking each other on ever since Rubio began overtaking Bush in polls in the Sunshine State this summer and fall.
That has persuaded Bush to take the fight to Rubio where it hurts most - by comparing him to President Obama, perhaps Public Enemy No. 1 to GOP primary voters. On Monday, Bush's team used a two-day summit for major campaign donors at a Houston hotel to unveil plans to go after Rubio by describing him as 'a GOP Obama,' according to Time.
Top aides also made it clear that Rubio is now their primary target in the GOP field, even more than Carson or front-runner Trump.
Bush's fundraising, momentum, appeal to Hispanic voters and campaign organization are also far better positioned than Rubio's even though the senator is ahead in the polls and Bush last week went through a round of belt-tightening that included slashing payroll by 40 percent.

One way to look at this is Bush fights with Rubio and visa versa...they take each other out!!!
RINO fight.
This is stupid. The people who like Rubio and the people who like Bush are more or less the same people. Attacking each other will only alienate the very people they want to attract.
What will attract more people is attacking Obama. But since I don’t think either of these guys has the courage to go to war with Obama, they can’t help themselves. They go after each other, which means they are scrapping over their respective tiny percentages while the big majority remain untouched... because they have nothing to offer them. The majority want our sovereignty defended. They want our citizenship defended. They want a warrior. And here we have two weaklings scrapping over who is going to control their little 12% of the party.
Bush strikes me as someone who in flailing out in all directions wildly hoping to hit on something significant
Yeb is just thrashing around. What an idiot.
Q: Why is Bush fighting against Rubio?
A: Because he is too afraid to confront Trump.
I think Senor Bush is a big baby cause he's done.
What's inconsistent about that? Both are Republican Obamas.
For comparison, the people who like Trump, and Carson, and Cruz, are more or less the same people. They seem instinctively to know this, but their response is the opposite, they don’t attack each other, or if they do its in very muted and even friendly tones. They don’t see one another as the enemy, but temporary rivals united against the larger foe.
Its a huge psychological difference. And its a big difference in the way they conduct their campaigns.
You look at all the money, and all that influence, and the Bush brand name and all the favors they can call in - then you see this happen.
It is like something structurally massive failing in front of your eyes, like that bridge in Minnesota as few years back.
How can you have the best political strategists and tacticians money can buy and decide to attack Rubio?
Don’t get me wrong - I love it. I just can’t believe what I’m seeing. You have to wonder who has invested these kids of dollars and what they must all be thinking now that it is apparent he’s not even going to make it to Iowa.
Right! Rubio is the GOP Obama and Jeb is the GOP Hillary-say no to both.
Bush isnt fit to shine Rubio’s shoes.

I hope not. I want these two AMNESTY & OPEN BORDERS pimps to both stay in the race until the bitter end splitting the RINO & LOW-INFORMATION VOTE.

RINOs tearing each other to shreds.
And I thought nothing good could possibly happen today.
