After Jeb Bush finally delivered a strong debate performance by repeatedly taking the fight to front-runner Donald Trump in Las Vegas on Tuesday, the war of words continued over the weekend.
During a town hall with New Hampshire voters in Contoocook on Saturday, Bush responded to a question by saying: 'Just one other thing -- I gotta get this off my chest -- Donald Trump is a jerk.'
That remark came after Trump went after Bush on Twitter on Friday night by saying that the former Florida governor was 'dumb as a rock' and that the 'last thing our country needs is another BUSH'.
The trash talking between the two candidates kicked off Tuesday when Bush called the billionaire businessman 'the chaos candidate' and insisted Trump couldn't 'insult his way to the presidency'.

Rock is smarter.
Poor Jeb. He makes W look like Ted Cruz.
Full title...
Jeb calls Trump ‘a jerk’ at campaign event, the day after Republican front-runner said ex-Florida governor was ‘dumb as a rock’
Trump makes a factual statement and jebito responds emotionally, and still no follow up by reporters on the rocks having been insulted.
Why is Trump insulting Granite? Granite says it makes nice countertops, and all Jeb does is aid the local Starbucks by increasing the cups of expresso served after his rallies. Granite and sandstone demand an apology from Trump for being compared to a bush.
And you -never- expect that out of a New Yorker!
Personally, I think our side needs a jerk. I wasn’t impressed with the Bush obsession with politeness over all, even to the point of losing every battle.
Trump is a jerk. Bush is not dumb, but like his brother, he’s too nice, accommodating and too timid to really get anything done. He was a good governor of Florida during a period when the state overall was fairly conservative, but even then, he was betrayed time and again by a good ol’ boy liberal GOP state Senator, Jim King, and he never did anything to effectively oppose King.
Putin would make Yeb cry like a little girl
I don't want a girlie man to bow down to foreign countries anymore, I don't want a soft spoken, afraid of their Shadow like we have now; I don't want more of the ‘pen and phone’ crap...
If my President can't stand up and say ‘damn, shit or hell’ and mean it, then I don't want him...you call a spade a spade and you mean what you say and you follow thru and if we can't have a Real ‘HE’ MAN, then this Country will die off....
Childish. Both.
You loved COMMIE CORE, I guess.
Jeb never should have been on the stage. The Bush brand was irreparably damaged by his brother. The Democrats wanted Jeb. They have been running against George Bush for 4 Presidential election cycles now and it has worked for them. They wanted to run against him a fifth time. Trump isn’t the fight they have been preparing for.
Bush/Rove brought “a new tone” to Washington. Trump will bring the tone we need.
Funny comment on FB tonight: “Jeb reminds me of Ralphie from the Simpsons, but not as lovable and more paste-eating”.
Let’s see, Jeb...I seem to distinctly remember in the debate this week you telling Trump that he couldn’t ever win by insulting others.
...and yet here you are.
Hehehe...seems like you can’t even take your own advise.
Terry Shiavo would disagree with you if she was still alive.And yes,this matters to a lot of people.
He gets paid by the post.
