The Hill

Jeb Bush called Donald Trump an “ass---” in a private conversation with a donor, according to a new report.
Bush also insulted the billionaire by saying he is a “buffoon” and a “clown,” according to Politico.
The
former Florida governor will be standing next to the business mogul
when the two Republican candidates face off at Thursday night's debate
with eight other GOP White
House hopefuls.
Trump
is the GOP frontrunner, as several national polls show him leading
Bush. His campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Bush
and Trump have repeatedly battled since Trump entered the race in June,
most notably when the reality television star suggested that Bush backs
immigration reform
because his wife was born in Mexico.
Bush countered by arguing that Trump paints a false picture of GOP values during remarks made last month.
“I
don’t think he represents the Republican Party, and his views are way
outside the mainstream of what most Republicans think,” Bush told
reporters during two Independence
Day parades in New Hampshire.
“No one suggests that we shouldn’t control our borders,” he said. “Everybody has a belief that we should control our borders.
“But
to make these extraordinarily ugly kind of comments is not reflective
of the Republican Party,” Bush added. “Trump is wrong on this.”
Trump
responded by criticizing Bush as “out of touch” with Republican voters
on the issues of border security and illegal immigration.
“Just
like the simple question asked of Jeb on Iraq — where it took him five
days and multiple answers to get right — he doesn’t understand anything
about the border or
border security,” Trump said on July Fourth.
“In fact, Jeb believes that illegal immigrants who break our laws when they cross our border come ‘out of love,’ ” he added.
Trump
has weathered months of international outrage after criticizing Mexico
and illegal immigrants during his 2016 campaign launch in June.
“They’re sending people who have a lot of problems,” Trump said on June 16 from New York City’s Trump Tower.
“They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists,” he added. “And some, I assume, are good people.”
The most recent RealClearPolitics average of national polling results has Trump scoring 24.3 percent versus Bush’s 12.5.
