Jeb Bush’s ‘Mommy’ Ad Draws Mockery From Donald Trump

Jeb Bush’s “mommy” advertisement just got a priceless reaction from Donald Trump himself. In a tweet published last night, Trump said Jeb’s “mommy” won’t help him with “ISIS, the Chinese, or with Putin.”

CNN reported it didn’t take long for Jeb to respond. In a tweet of his own, Jeb sent a picture of his mom, former First Lady Barbara Bush, in football pads telling Trump, “I’d be careful Donald.”

In the original advertisement, Jeb Bush’s “mommy” tells viewers, “When push comes to shove, people are going to realize Jeb has real solutions. Rather than talking about how popular they are, how great they are, he’s doing it because he sees a huge need and it’s not being filled by anybody.”

“Of all the people running, he seems to be the one who can solve the problems. I think he’ll be a great president.”

Jeb Bush has taken the role of “Anti-Trump,” in the GOP race so far, referring to Trump as a “large personality” on stage. The Washington Post reported that these Twitter attacks came on the same day Jeb criticized the Republican National Committee for dropping the National Review magazine as a co-sponsor of a debate.

The magazine said Trump was dangerous to the future of American conservatism, to which Jeb said, “I think that they would have all of these distinguished journalists and thought leaders of the conservative cause join together to say that Donald Trump is not a conservative — they’re just telling the truth.”

“It was the wrong thing to do. Donald Trump needs to defend why he was supportive of Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton, why he gave money to the foundation, why he gave money to her campaign.”

Jeb posted a tweet yesterday saying Trump used to be very supportive of Hillary and was “basically a democrat.” Whether that’s true is another story; the rest of the Tweet said he was “supportive of a lot of causes” that Hillary cared about.

As the GOP race heats up, most people seem to think that the nomination is largely between two people: Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. It looks like Jeb Bush isn’t getting much attention, even after the “mommy” advertisement.

Most experts give Cruz the upper hand, even though Trump is leading in polls all across America.

Shelby Stein, CEO of Glazer’s Distributors, said, “Most people now that I deal with think this is a two-person Republican race between [Donald] Trump and Cruz, and most people think Cruz has the upper hand.”

While Trump has all the money he could ever dream of because of his self-funded campaign, Cruz has had to raise the money himself. Now that his chances are getting better every day, more are willing to donate to his campaign.

“Now, all of a sudden, it’s a thousand times easier when the candidate has a real chance,” Shelby Stein continued.

As the race heats up every day, time will tell whether Jeb can make some sort of a comeback. One thing’s for sure, Donald Trump is probably going to stay away from Jeb Bush’s “mommy” in the future.
