"Left to his own devices, he would not ever go there."

Despite the fact he was widely judged the loser of his verbal tiff with Marco Rubio during Wednesday’s debate, GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush is reportedly set to take on his fellow Floridian as part of a plan to increase his standings in the polls. According to a slideshow reportedly leaked by a source close to the Bush campaign, three prominent points in his campaign plan revolve around tearing down Rubio’s credibility as a candidate.

First, he calls the senator a “risky bet” due to the fact that some who have “looked into” his background “have been concerned with what they have found.”

The Bush camp then cites that a number of state lawmakers have endorsed the former governor while none have officially come out in favor of Rubio.

Finally, Rubio is portrayed – in a direct comparison to Barack Obama – as a neophyte unqualified to seek the nation’s highest elected office.

Even Priorities USA, the super PAC backing Hillary Clinton in the 2016 race, is parroting Bush’s talking points on the matter.

In describing the leaked campaign plan published by U.S. News this week, radio host Rush Limbaugh said the 112-page plan looks like the blueprint of a presidential campaign of decades past. Limbaugh earliercriticized Bush’s aggressive debate line directed at Rubio.

“Somebody told him you gotta go after old Marco for not showing up in the Senate,” Limbaugh said. “These guys are friends. Rubio is Jeb’s protege. Left to his own devices, he would not ever go there. He doesn’t believe it himself. But he was saddled with it by his advisers.”

The negative attacks on Rubio may have already taken their toll on Bush, as a Google Consumer Surveys poll conducted directly after the debate indicates Republican voters determined he is the candidate they most wish to see drop out of the race.

Trump Just Got Asked If He Would Team Up With Carson- His Response Is Turning Heads

"We're not as different as people think..."

Even though they are vying for the top spot among the large field of GOP nominees, neither Donald Trump nor Dr. Ben Carson are attacking each other on the stump. In fact, both continue to have kind things to say about the other; and this week, Trump has once again noted that he could easily see a place for Carson in a Trump administration.

In the usual course of primary politics, the top two in the polls are often at each other’s throats and trying to undercut each other to gain traction. But not in the case of Donald Trump and Ben Carson. At least this far into the primary race, it has definitely not been politics as usual for Trump and Carson.

This week, Trump is once again bucking the ‘business as usual’ style of politics by insisting that he could easily see Ben Carson as his vice presidential candidate.

“We’re not as different as people think, we have a very good relationship,” Trump told CNN this week. “There is a particular different style. I have some great assets and he has some great assets. But we are both resonating, there is no question about that.”

Trump then reiterated that he and Carson like each other, and when asked if he could see Carson as his VP candidate, Trump said it is an “interesting” suggestion and that “stranger things have happened.”at Trump has spoken very highly of Carson and noted that he could see a place for the retired neurosurgeon in a Trump administration.

As far back as October 2, Trump was saying that he would put Carson in a Trump cabinet if he won the nomination and the ensuing general election.

But Carson has also offered his hand in friendship in the opposite direction.

On September 8, for instance, Carson himself noted he’d be open to an offer of the number two slot from Trump.

Later, on October 8, Carson echoed Trump, saying that if he were elected president, he could see himself offering Trump a spot in a Ben Carson administration.

Regardless, neither Trump nor Carson are employing the usual tactic of slamming the candidate closest to them in the polls.
