When the big donor money and super pac support doesn't buy higher ranking in the Republican primary, what do you do? In Jeb! Bush's world, you dig deeper in your pocket and use every available tool in the arsenal. At this point, it appears Jeb! is turning to his biggest supporter and champion - his mother Barbara Bush.
After a poor fifth-place finish in the Iowa caucuses this week, Jeb is hoping for a breakthrough in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday. And he thinks his mom, still popular around the country, can help him.
Bringing in Barbara Bush, 90, has deepened the animosity between Jeb and GOP front-runner Donald Trump, who has ridiculed Bush for the maternal gambit. The bombastic real estate developer tweeted that Bush's "mommy" couldn't help him deal with Islamic extremists.
Just watched Jeb's ad where he desperately needed mommy to help him. Jeb --- mom can't help you with ISIS, the Chinese or with Putin.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 23, 2016
