GOP Strategists To Jeb: Treat Trump With Kid Gloves
By Alexander Bolton, July 12, 2015 The Hill
Jeb Bush needs to walk a fine line in responding to Donald Trump’s attacks, Republican strategists say, and avoid going toe-to-toe with the brash New Yorker.
They say getting into a “food fight” with Trump would diminish Bush, the two-time Florida governor who is a leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination.
But Bush also can’t sit back and let Trump’s barbs go unchallenged, Republican operatives say, so he will have to pick his battles as the 2016 races unfolds.
So far, Bush has jabbed at Trump occasionally, without being dragged into a full-fledged feud.
The even-handed approach seems to be paying off, as Bush’s poll numbers have surged in the past few weeks.
