Jeb Bush said Wednesday that Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump was actually “scared” of his candidacy.
“The reason why he attacks me is he’s scared of me,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “He’s insecure. He doesn’t believe that he can take me on, and while I’m doing worse than him in the polls, the simple fact is, why would he spend his time tearing down someone who’s so low compared to him?”
Bush said Trump’s history of “tearing down” Hispanics, the disabled, prisoners-of-war and women won’t win him the presidency. He added that he thought Trump was attacking him because he was “the real challenge” to Trump securing the nomination.
“This is because we’re moving up, and I believe that he believes that we’re the real challenge for his winning the nomination,” Bush continued.

Hahahaha! Oh Jeb!, aren’t you just adorable!
Jeb! - “The first step is admitting you have a problem.”
It really is fascinating to watch this sad man’s delusions. And that he is billed as one of the “sensible” Republicans shows how knee-deep in batshit insanity that party is these days.
Jeb, Trump attacks you because he wants you to go away. It has great bipartisan appeal.
That’s…one way to look at it.
