Former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida made his offensive against Donald J. Trump more personal on Wednesday, highlighting his fear of germs as another reason that Republicans should reconsider their summer fling with the billionaire tycoon.
Would you rather support a candidate who strives to shake every hand everywhere or is a germaphobe when it comes to shaking hands, Mr. Bushs campaign asked in an online quiz intended to demonstrate Mr. Trumps liberal views.
Mr. Trumps preference for keeping his hands clean has been well chronicled. He has called the ritual of shaking hands barbaric and he wrote in The Art of the Comeback, his 1997 book: I happen to be a clean hands freak. I feel much better after I thoroughly wash my hands, which I do as much as possible.

This is a desperate cheap shot.
Does Bush have clean hands when he is beholden to PACS?
Jeb doesn’t have to worry about getting sick from shaking hands,even germs don’t like him.
Really - hand-washing? That’s all you got? Pretty weak, Jeb.
Even calling Trump in Spanish a non-conservative.
Considering the amount of diseases illegal Mexicans carry, Jeb! might want to rethink his shaking every hand creed....
Think this is a jab at eccentric billionaires.
From the Drudgereport:
“EL Hombre No Es Conservador”.
First Trump is right. And he makes plenty of deals regardless his handshake policy.
BUT is Jeb ever going to attack Hilary as a heterosexual female hating closet lesbian? How about as an evil race baiting leftist scum? Will he mention her protecting A RAPIST, Bill Clinton? Has he said she got our ambassador killed and trampled free speech in America to cover it up?
I think not. So Jeb cab put his filthy hands wherever he wants my vote for him is nada.
I recently stocked up on hand sanitizer. Go Trump.
Is Jeb comparing germs to homosexuals?
I really did.
Jeb's campaign, at best, has a childlike quality about it. (One almost suspects that Karl Rove has a hand in it.)
Er, ah, all I can come up with is one finger.
And I will gladly show him that.
Jeb may consider it an ‘act of love’.
TWB
Jeb: guess what, America! Trump washes his hands too much! Haha hahaha!
Many folks are concerned about touching. My wife is very concerned about it. I tell her that is why she gets sick more than I do. But seriously, she volunteers at a nursing home and has gotten staph infections, so her concern has a reasonable basis. Trump's concern may also be from some past experience.
It could also be a security issue. I imagine security guys hate when politicians enter crowd for handshakes.
This last salvo should backfire big time on Jeb. Jeb has “dirty hands” from that $100+ million donor money, how can someone with dirty hands clean up DC, etc, etc....
