Jeb Bush's latest ad embarrasses Donald Trump over pro-Clinton remarks
Back in 2008, Donald Trump had some pretty nice things to say about Obama and Hillary Clinton.

I think Hillary is a great appointment. I think that some of the others are just great appointments."
Bush has ratcheted up his fight against Trump in recent weeks, talking him into a memorable tizzy during the Republican debate. Who's low energy now, huh? Jeva Lange
