After months of speculation, Jeb Bush will be joined by his brother and former President George W. Bush at an event in North Charleston at 6 p.m.
Jeb Bush retorted “I could care less about the insults Donald Trump gives to me…”
Trump blasted Bush’s brother for launching the Iraq war in 2003 over claims, later proven false, that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. “And there were none”. Yet the Republican race remains deeply uncertain, with party elites still hoping that one of the more mainstream candidates will rise up to challenge Trump and Cruz.
He not just attacked back Donald Trump and asked him to complete his response and went on to oppose him for his views on supporting Russian initiative in Syria.
Trump promised he would not use profanity on the campaign trail again. “I am sick and exhausted of him going after my family”. “My dad is the greatest man alive in my mind and while Donald Trump was building a reality TV show, my brother was building a security apparatus to keep us safe”.

The next primary elections will be between February 20 and February 27 in Nevada and SC, respectively.

Republican presidential candidates jousted over immigration and foreign policy in a raucous debate shaken by the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. “If we get this wrong, if we nominate the wrong candidate, the Second Amendment, life, marriage, religious liberty, every one of those hangs in the balance”.
