"Bush now has gotta cut back," Trump said at a campaign rally in Jacksonville, Florida. "Here's a guy who wants to run our country. And he can't even run his own campaign. And you know what? He's cutting back big."
The billionaire diagnosed Bush's campaign as "failing" and supplied with "no money." His White House bid, Trump said to wild applause, was "losing badly and embarrassing his family."

“October is not when you elect people, it’s February, and then you move into March and we have a campaign that is designed to win,” said Bush.

And you know it probably does not exactly help his self esteem to have watched Hillary essentially do this to the House Benghazi Committee.
Yep, I'm essentially devouring popcorn two fistfuls at a time these days.
