Mano a Mano

I don’t know who’s advising Jeb Bush in his desperate plea masquerading as a Presidential run, but whoever it is should be fired.

Lately Jeb has decided to trash talk Trump as part of his campaign stump. He petulantly called Trump “a jerk” to a New Hampshire gathering last week and now, from the Forum Club in Palm Beach, Florida, Jeb threw down the gauntlet and called Donald out for a mano a mano debate.

“Donald, I’ll take you on one-on-one in a debate, any time, any place. You name it and I’ll do it.”

Oh, dear.

That’ll end well.

There’s nothing more painful than watching a grown man make a fool of himself.

Jeb has turned into a cartoon character — a puny little puppy who chases after the great big bulldog begging for a fight he is bound to lose.

Whatever campaign advisor is telling Jeb that tough-guy talk will help him regain his status as a contender in this race isn’t helping his candidate in the least.

Jeb clearly has surrounded himself with sycophantic yes-men who are giving him some supremely bad advice.

My guess is, they thought Jeb came out the winner in the petulant, snotty battle he waged against Trump in the last debate.

Hate to break it to you, Jeb. But when it comes to trash-talking insults, Trump has got you beat coming and going.

Your mano a mano challenge would result in you kissing the canvas.

Hopefully, for Jeb’s sake, Trump doesn’t take him up on this moronic offer.

No sense kicking the guy when he’s down. It’s unseemly.

But whattaya gonna do? When you’re down in the polls and your shoe-in nomination is looking less and less shoe-inny, apparently every idiotic strategy is on the table.

Hat tip Breitbart.
