Bush tells Trump to put on his 'big boy pants'
- 9 years ago
Bedford, New Hampshire Jeb Bush and Donald Trump clashed over how to handle the Syrian refugee crisis - and just about everything else, including whether Bush is really friends with Marco Rubio - during dueling Wednesday night town hall events in New Hampshire.
In their most substantive policy dispute, the two disagreed sharply over whether refugees who fled the Middle East amid ISIS' rise should be allowed in the United States.
It was a split-screen display of the dramatic contrasts in style and substance between the two Republican presidential contenders - Trump a front-runner touting his outsider credentials; Bush an establishment favorite linked to his brother's foreign policies.
Trump said the fire marshal had told him there were 3,564 people on hand for his event in Keene on Wednesday evening - and there would have been more, but he wasn't allowed to cram people into the aisles.
Trump also said he doesn't buy the idea that Bush and Marco Rubio - who worked together in Florida, when Bush was older governor and Rubio was the new House speaker - are actually friends.
