“I’d say these boots will match up really well against the Italian, fine Italian shoes that Donald Trump wears with his Brioni suits and his $500 ties”, said Bush, who’s worth up to $22 million himself.

Jeb Bush’s campaign released a new ad on Friday starring his mother in what “seems” to be a bit of a wishy-washy endorsement.
At a town hall meeting Thursday night, a woman carrying a photo of Bush’s father told him she was anxious about his low poll numbers and asked him why he wasn’t spending more time talking up the accomplishments of either his father or brother.
Bush’s social media spat with Trump also underscores his often oscillating attitudes towards his legacy as a member of one of the nation’s best-known political dynasties. And they underscore a deeper internal GOP struggle between insurgent conservative outsiders and the establishment. “He failed to have his finger on the pulse”.
Jeb Bush’s “favorite Bush” is now taking a more visible role in his campaign. “Jeb is the only candidate in this race who can fix the challenges confronting America”, Barbara Bush says in the message.
“George W. did the same thing”. He further said that Cruz is “politically calculated”. Bush, in turn, has called Trump a “jerk” with a propensity for alienating virtually everyone. In the autobiography, he detailed how, after the sailing trip, George H.W. Bush agreed to endorse that campaign. Three years later, Bush’s grandson, George P., used those same words to praise Cruz during his Senate run.
And the campaign boots story continues.

Acknowledging the expectations are higher on him running as the 3rd Bush to become president of the United States, Jeb stressed, “If you can’t get through the primary the right way, how are you going to be dealing with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin?” “The tea party, the rise of the grassroots… that started during the younger Bush’s presidency”.
