If you watched the CNN debate this past Wednesday, then you witnessed the notorious Trump vs. Bush casino spat.
It started when moderator Jake Tapper noted a portion of Donald Trump’s popularity relies on the fact that he cannot be bought by lobbyists. This, Tapper suggested, makes his GOP presidential opponents susceptible to the whims of special interest groups – particularly former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Bush’s presidential campaign has raised an unprecedented $100 million so far. Trump claims this makes Bush a ‘puppet for his donors.’
Jeb attempted to turn the tables on Trump. He stated, ‘The one guy that had some special interests that I know of, that tried to get me to change my views on something, that was generous and gave me money… was Donald Trump. He wanted casino gambling in Florida.’
Trump’s response? ‘I did not.’
