Des Moines, IA – Republican Jeb Bush Tells Rival Marco Rubio ‘stop Whining’

Des Moines, IA – Jeb Bush is showing no sign of going down quietly on the eve of Iowa’s leadoff caucuses, despite falling behind in the polls.

The former Florida governor says Marco Rubio supporters should “stop whining” about attack ads from his allies.

Bush spoke to The Associated Press Sunday afternoon after a campaign appearance in Hiawatha, Iowa.

He says the Rubio attacks are “minor league baseball” compared to what Democrats will do to the Republican presidential nominee during the general election.

“If you can’t handle that, then how you gonna deal with a unified Democratic Party that will go out to try to destroy you? And be president of the United States?” Bush told the AP. “This is a tough job. This isn’t bean bag. Everybody’s gotta get a grip.”

Bush continued: “You don’t think that the Republican nominee is gonna get the bark scraped off him by the Clinton machine? This is minor league baseball, man.”
