Gloves off, Bush style? JEB! Bush attacks Donald Trump, calls him a long-term Democrat

Maybe we can do something with that Wille Horton thing, Lee?
(Washington Post) -  Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush made a significant shift in strategy Wednesday night by launching a direct attack on rival Donald Trump, questioning the businessman's conservative credentials... "Mr. Trump doesn’t have a proven conservative record," he said. "He was a Democrat longer in the last decade than he was a Republican. He has given more money to Democrats than he’s given to Republicans."...

“I think what people are eventually going to vote for is a proven conservative leader that’s done it – not talked about it, that’s actually done it," Bush said later. "And I have a proven conservative record, a consistent proven conservative record."
Bush's campaign quickly followed up on the comments by distributing the remarks via social media. In doing so, aides characterized Trump as a "tax-hiking Democrat," although Bush didn't use those words.
Moments after Bush made his comments, Trump took the stage at his event and almost immediately went after the former Florida governor.
“You know what’s happening to Jeb’s crowd just down the street? They’re sleeping!” he said as applause broke out. Read more.
