Donald Trump seems to want in on the escalating feud between Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R).
In an early-Sunday morning tweet-storm, a tactic that's become a hallmark of his campaign for president, Trump weighed in Rubio and Bush's relationship.

Wanting in? He instigated the damn thing a couple, three weeks ago.
Good! clear the way for Cruz to move on up. Rubio is the gop-e’s second choice. He needs to go.
Do we really want someone who does this kind of juvenile stuff to be President?
Sheesh, let's have someone more dignified.
Ben Carson anyone?
It’s amazing to see the numbers of women on Twitter supporting Trump.
You can always count on a Business Insider (a.k.a. ‘we want cheap labor’) interest group to try to bring down Donald Trump. Do they have any idea how much they are despised?
Clever guy, he knows the media memory began this morning.
Don’t be fooled. The whole Bush/Rubio feud is being orchestrated. Bush has no chance of winning so the GOPe needs to prop up someone else, namely Rubio. Set up a feud between these two with their full cooperation so it makes it seem Rubio is not a part of the establishment. No doubt Marco is the establishment’s last hope.
We don't need another amiable loser.
There’s nothing dignified about our current political system. Trump’s just bringing it out into the open. He plays to win.

Twitter rants. That’s exectly what we should be looking for in a president, because putin and the mullahs are totally going to be intimidated by that.
we’ve already got a president that practices #hashtagdiplomacy. it’s an abject failure.
YES!!!
I have tweeter and follow him, and he is blasting the heck out of both of them!!!
Way.To.Go.Trump!!!
Time to clear the dead wood out of this mess and get down to business....people don’t want anymore Bushes and they don’t want someone who doesn’t show up for votes!!!
WOOHOO TRUMP!!!
You can keep Ben Carson anyone.
Yes, because twitter rants is all the Trump has to offer.
/s
Are you suggesting that the author fabricated Trump’s tweets?
[Ben Carson anyone?]
CARSON has made conflicting statements regarding abortion issues as well as disturbing views on medical treatment for the elderly. Recent statements say he is 100%, however, his writings and statements show another side. Could it be his original sentiments are affecting his candidacy?
The Conservative Review has an unbiased rating of candidates based on their quotes and writings. Carson has received a BAD rating on immigration and foreign affairs. Go to the site to read the comments.

BEN CARSON - ON MEDICAL CARE FOR THE ELDERLY
(Heâs for a panel to decide which seniors deserve lifesaving treatment/end of life care, and which ones donât.)
[[Our mind-set is to automatically pull out all medical stops, even if that means literally torturing loved ones during their last few months of life. What if rather than always putting terminally ill patients in intensive care units, where we poke, prod, test, and operate ad nauseum, we allowed most people the dignity of dying in relative peace and comfort, at home, surrounded by loved ones, with hospice care or some other medical attendant if necessary?
Agreement on who should be treated and who should not be treated would require an extensive national discussion that could hopefully result in some helpful basic guidelines. Obviously any such guidelines should allow for flexibility and choice. And decisions should be based not merely on age but on the viability of the patient. (From his 1999 book, The Big Picture.)]]
BEN CARSON - ON SOCIAL ISSUES
Carson has expressed support for same-sex civil unions, and following the Supreme Courtâs ruling legalizing gay marriage in all 50 states, he conceded the fight was over by declaring the ruling the âlaw of the land.â (Newsmax)
Despite maintaining a strong pro-life record, in a 1992 interview, Dr. Carson said that while he does not perform abortions, he personally referred women seeking abortions to other doctors. In the same interview, he said that he âwould never advocate itâs illegal for a person to get an abortionâ (Baltimore Sun)
Dr. Carson co-authored a medical research paper in 1992 where he outlined his support for the use of aborted baby organs for research purposes. Carson defended his past statements, saying âTo not use the tissue that is in a tissue bank, regardless of where it comes from, would be foolish. Why would anybody not do that?â
Numerous conservatives have expressed that by providing the demand that abortion providers will supply the market and that participating in this practice is being complicit. (Life Site News)
As revelations came to light about Dr. Carson referring the mothers of unborn children with potential birth defects to abortionists, his campaign defended the practice. A campaign spokesman said, âHe [Carson] believes in quality medical care, No. 1, and secondly, he believes in people making their own decisions based on facts and information.â
Pressed on whether Carson stands by his decision to do so, the same spokesman said yes. The statement is particularly troubling given that pro-abortion proponents use similar language regarding a decision between the patient and their doctor, but not mentioning the life of the child. (Politico)
Since news surfaced of a 1992 research paper co-authored by Dr. Carson that included the use of fetal tissue, Carsonâs stance on abortion has come under immense scrutiny and his defense of his previous medical decisions has been troubling to many in the pro-life movement.
When asked if Carson stands by his past decision to refer patients to abortion doctors,Carsonâs Communications Director said, âHe believes in quality medical care, No. 1, and secondly, he believes in people making their own decisions based on facts and information.â Additionally, the spokesman went on to say that Carson believes that you canât stop abortion by making it illegal. The spokesman told Politico, âHe [Carson] has always believed that the battle over abortion had to be waged in the hearts and minds of Americans, that you cannot legislate morality. But he also believes weâre winning the debate.â (Politico)
In the 1990s, Carson was a board member of the Baltimore Charitable Foundation which gave $200,000 in grants to Planned Parenthood. When confronted with this fact, and asked if Carson knew about the grants a spokesman said, âIt doesnât really matter.â (Politico)
When asked if he would support abortion in the case of incest or rape, Dr. Carson said, âI would hope that they would very quickly avail themselves of the emergency room, and in the emergency room, they have the ability to administer RU-486 and other possibilities before you have a developing fetus.â
RU-486 is an abortifacient that kills a fertilized egg by artificially denying it the ability to attach to the uterine wall. Using Dr.Carsonâs own standard of life beginning at conception, this would then constitute murder. (Politico)
During the campaign Dr. Carson has struggled to define when he believes life begins. He told ABC News that life begins âwhen the heart stops beatingâ but later clarified that he meant conception. (Politico)

I can't see Jeb and family wanting to be the fall guy for anybody. They are too arrogant.
I think there's a real feud going on inside the GOPe and that's a good thing.
“Ben Carson anyone?”
No thanks.
