Jeb Bush can't win Iowa. But he wants to make sure Marco Rubio doesn't come close.

Jeb Bush has virtually no chance of winning the Iowa caucuses - but his team wants to make sure Marco Rubio doesn't do too well there either.

On Tuesday, the Bush-allied Super PAC Right to Rise USA released a new negative ad attacking Rubio - and, according to the Des Moines Register's Jennifer Jacobs, the ad will air on Iowa television.

The ad itself is a pretty misleading attack on Rubio for missing a Senate briefing on terrorism to fundraise (Rubio actually attended a similar briefing days earlier, one that included classified information).

What is interesting about the ad, though, is that Bush's team is airing this attack on Rubio in Iowa, a state Bush himself has basically already conceded, rather than just focusing on New Hampshire, a state Bush desperately hopes to win.

But this move by Bush actually makes a lot of sense - because any good news for Rubio out of Iowa would be terrible for Jeb Bush.

Jeb attacking his protege so he doesn’t finish.... in humiliating last place.

Very classy of the Boosh clan - when they lose, they play fast and dirty.

And Jeb isn’t gonna win the nomination slinging mud on his way down.

So Jeb! and his $100 million Super PAC are so under water that they are left denying Rubio, another single digit candidate, a good showing in Iowa. So desperate. So pathetic.

Jeb’s low class campaigning is almost assuredly going to keep him from getting a Vice Presidental invitation.

The establishment forced one on Reagan.

Sounds like Jebthro is counting on Trump and Cruz to be out in the near future.

That would explain why he is pathetically hanging in there and trying to take out the next in line contender, paving the way for his new Mexamerican govt to be installed.

Bush the Saboteur: probably not impressing the American people yet, but Barbara is still working on that.

Well we hope it’s going that way skeeter, but Barbara is probably starting to work overtime to change all that.

Considering it’s Yeb and Rubio, it would be more accurate to say “Pussy fight!!!”.

No he’s holding on to the hope that all the establishment/moderates will coalesce around on candidate and that he will be that candidate. And that Trump/Cruz will split the conservative/tea party/religious vote That’s his only path to victory which means he needs to knock out all the other moderate options.
