Bash brothers
The Bush brothers turned into Bash Brothers for one night in South Carolina as they take a few mighty swings at Donald Trump. It may not shock you to know that Trump was swinging back. When he wasn’t calling Ted Cruz a “basket case” and mocking Marco Rubio’s sweat factor, Trump noted that saying George W. kept us safe after 9/11 was like saying the opposing team “scored 19 runs in the first inning, but after that, we played pretty well.” Via The New York Times.
