The budding tension between the two Floridians running for president escalated on Tuesday as Marco Rubio defended his Senate record amid new attacks by Jeb Bush.
Bush and Rubio have largely avoided criticizing one another during the presidential race's first six months, but they are increasingly squabbling without a detente in sight. Bush aides and allies have increasingly been highlighting Rubio's poor attendance for votes in Washington -- a tally that has also been fodder for another new Rubio agitator, Donald Trump.
Bush grouped those two together in a new Des Moines Register op-ed.
"We are not going to fix a dysfunctional Washington, D.C., by electing a celebrity entertainer or D.C. senator who is either part of the problem or has proven incapable of fixing it," the former Florida governor wrote.
Later that night, he grew forceful in Bettendorf, Iowa, saying, "We should cut the pay of elected officials that don't show up to work."

Vote for Pedro. LMAO.
Big deal.
They BOTH say we need to import MANY more millions of voting democrats from Mehhicco.
If those quotes from Bush are how he “takes the gloves off”, he doesn’t have a prayer.
I don't care if you are running for president as a sitting senator. The senate duties come first. Otherwise, if you want to focus on running for president, you should resign your seat.
OMG I love that! Perfect!
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS. This is the good cop/bad cop part of the Bush/Rubio ACT now. Jebbers will drop out with his intact war chest (Columba’s new wardrobe from Paris) and on his way out, he will anoint the Water Boy/Rubio. This is standard Rino playbook.

Silk gloves?
Pansy Politics!
‘Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush start to take the gloves off’
Real tough guys now they’ll start swinging their pocketbooks.
That’s about it!
Hillary’s brother attacking Rubio?
Bush vs. Rubio. Mano y mano. (Hand to hand)
That is pretty much what I imagined when I read the headline.
“We should cut the pay of elected officials that don’t show up to work.”
Dear Governor Abbott - George P’s father says that elected officials that don’t show up for work should have their pay cut. So that should also apply to George P. Thank you from Texas taxpayers.
