Rubio vs Bush: Mano a mano
Received by a New Hampshire voter, here is a direct mailer from Marco Rubio's Super PAC, 'Conservative Solutions', aimed at Jeb Bush:
February 7, 2016
.....
The mailing features a photo of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) wearing a superimposed golden crown and pictured next to the bejeweled and white-haired Queen Elizabeth II, who bears an obvious resemblance to the candidate’s mother, Barbara Bush.
And in case the intended link between the current queen of England and former first lady wasn't clear enough, the mailer includes an old quote from Jeb Bush's mother below the photo of Queen Elizabeth: "'We’ve had enough Bushes.' --Barbara Bush."
The provocative mailer -- which is headlined "What happened to the ‘Coronation’ of Jeb Bush?’" -- also features images of Henry VIII and the Burger King mascot. The suggestion that these two characters are stand-ins for Jeb Bush’s father and brother -- both former presidents -- is equally clear.
“Most pundits claimed Bush/Clinton general election match up was inevitable,” reads the back of the Rubio super PAC mailer. “They said the 2016 election would be a choice between these 2 dynasties.”

Getting nastier every day. Hopefully, both of them will implode simultaneously.
Florida would rejoice.

Karl Rove, Babs and whatever print jobber got paid to run off a couple hundred thousand of the most beautiful political pieces ever.
