Donald Trump unleashed a firestorm of criticism from liberals, conservatives and those in between when he called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States. And last Saturday, at a rally in Iowa, Mr Trump again targeted Mr Bush, calling him an “embarrassment” and noting he was “very close to zero” in the polls.

We totally get Jeb Bush has a long, hard road ahead of him if he’s going to live up to his family name. He’s also a low-energy person, which I’ve said before, but he’s a weak and ineffective person. “If you look at the coverage” post-debate, he said “everything else is like it didn’t even happen”. “The question is, will New Hampshire want to support a guy who might tarnish this extraordinary status that you have”.
