Bush vs. Rubio
Posted on 11/10/2015 6:55:54 AM PST by jimbo123
If there was any doubt that one of the storylines to watch in Tuesday night's Republican presidential debate will be the intensifying battle between Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, it should be gone after a sequence of events that entangled the two campaigns Monday night.
After the New York Times reported that the pro-Bush super PAC Right to Rise USA has filmed an attack video claiming Rubio's hard-line stance on abortion makes him unelectable and its top strategist has shown a willingness to unleash as much as $20 million worth of ads targeting the Florida senator, Rubio's campaign tried to turn the group's plans to its advantage by raising money off of them.
"And they're bragging about that? How is that the kind of 'joyful' campaign that Jeb claimed he wanted to run?!?!" writes Rubio campaign manager Terry Sullivan in the e-mailed solicitation for campaign contributions. Sullivan's reference is to Bush's well-documented desire to campaign "joyfully."
On Twitter, Rubio campaign aides sought to defend their candidate and pointed out that before the campaign, Bush was Rubio booster.

Bush vs. Rubio
LOL!
And the kicker is that IT’S ALL AN ACT!
Rubio is being set up to be the Establishment’s “not Bush”. Just another GOPe stooge with some talking points so that he sounds like he isnt one of them.
His real target is Carson. The press softened him up for the past week, and Rubio is going in for the kill.
It’s to position him against Trump.
“After the New York Times reported that the pro-Bush super PAC Right to Rise USA has filmed an attack video claiming Rubio’s hard-line stance on abortion makes him unelectable and its top strategist has shown a willingness to unleash as much as $20 million worth of ads targeting the Florida senator, Rubio’s campaign tried to turn the group’s plans to its advantage by raising money off of them.”
That seals Bush’s fate. Abortion is a key position for Conservatives and without Conservatives, as has been proven time and again, you cannot win an election. Rubio, if he was smart would use this as a campaign ad.
“The Bush campaign today said Conservatives should go to hell. Let him know how you feel. Call.........”
Can Bush and the whole dynasty just GO AWAY???
Notice they are not attacking his open borders policy on illegal immigrants.
exactly, mind numbingly stupid. Still in search of the mythological “independent” voter.
Where can I get a BUSH/SCHIAVO bumper sticker?
So Rubio is going after Jeb. Trump and Cruz will be going after Rubio. Should make for an interesting evening.
