Trump also isn’t kicking Bush while he’s down or “punching down” with these viral video stings. Would anyone have believed, just a few months ago, that Donald Trump would be accused of beating up on the wimpiest kid in class by going after Jeb Bush, once portrayed as the nigh-inevitable Establishment prince in waiting, his fundraising totals so incandescent that other candidacies would melt away before them?
But here we are, watching Conventional Wisdom grapple with the idea that Trump seems to be picking on small fry with a viral video that, far from “ribbing” Bush, contrasts his infamous “illegal immigration is an act of love” remarks with images of illegal alien murderers.
This is not a new line of attack for Trump. He’s made precisely the same contrast between Bush’s “Act of Love” line and illegal alien murderers on the stump, such as a speech he gave in Michigan about three weeks ago:
These quick hits on Instagram – including previous jabs at the first President Bush’s historic “read my lips, no new taxes” blunder, and the second President Bush joking about WMD in Iraq – are meant to keep Jeb Bush on the mat,

No reflection on Carson, but I agree with you.
I thought about it long and hard, but I can’t endure another four or eight years of the media obsession with race. A potential decade and a half of blackwhiteblackwhite,...no thanks.
Between Bush and Clinton there are hundreds of millions of dollars that are poised to be flushed down the toilet.
Bump
Carson is not going to president. He’s pulling a Santorum in Iowa but has no chance in in any of the big states. Trump is smart to ignore him.
Why do you think Carson is “Black first, American second?” I’ve never seen anything to suggest that is his thinking. Maybe I’ve missed something?
Yeb Yawns and Trump Trounces!
This strategy sounds so much like Trump. Classic Trump. Go after the opponents money and bankrupt him. Notice that is his same strategy for ISIS.
Go Trump!!!!!
If Trump does nothing more than knocking that stupid bastard out of the race, he will have accomplished a great service for his country. I would rather have Hillary than Jeb. At least we don't have to claim Hillary.
We would all appreciate it.
Big money donors can’t shove their bought and paid for candidate down the voters’ throats.
This country is falling apart! /s
“Why do you think Carson is “Black first, American second?” I’ve never seen anything to suggest that is his thinking. Maybe I’ve missed something?”
Because at one point, Colin Powell was “American first.” Because at one point, Condi was “American first.”
The American leftwing media is fixated on race and the last thing we need is for them to guilt Carson into giving up his conservative credentials to appease a group of people that even if he did go “Black First” he would still be an Uncle Tom to the black community.
I don’t care about his color. I only care about his political ideology and has time has proven again and again, in the end they all turn into Al Sharpton to appease.
Seems the American leftwing media isn’t the only one fixated on race.
“Seems the American leftwing media isn’t the only one fixated on race.”
Sorry, political correctness isn’t my strong suit.
Yup and here's the thing....Trump isn't spending near the amount of money that Jeb must. Much of what we see is driven by Trump. His ideas, his strategy. Jeb on the other hand has to pay minions to come up with strategies, do polls, etc etc.
Jeb is going to spend significant amounts of money in any war with trump while trump is going to spend relatively much less.
