Jeb has been hitting himself on Iraq as of late.

Paul should be doing a lot of things, but he's one person and chances are only focusing his attacks on one candidate right now, and that's the one with the biggest megaphone.

Besides, it's too easy to deflect. No, I don't think this Bush is one whit better than any other Bush. Yes, I think he'd pass out power to people who are insane, like Cheney. But I don't see a percentage in actually holding anyone responsible for the sins of his brother.

Absolutely, Rand should bring focus to Jeb/Iraq as well as Obama/Libya/Syria civil wars sponsorships.

VA Stops Releasing Data On Injured Vets As Total Reaches Grim Milestone

By Jamie Reno on November 01 2013 12:43 AM EDT
The United States has likely reached a grim but historic milestone in the war on terror: 1 million veterans injured from the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. But you haven't heard this reported anywhere else. Why? Because the government is no longer sharing this information with the public.
All that can be said with any certainty is that as of last December more than 900,000 service men and women had been treated at Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics since returning from war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that the monthly rate of new patients to these facilities as of the end of 2012 was around 10,000.

Fox News Defends Jeb Bush's "Disastrous" Iraq War Answer
May 12, 2015 10:33 PM EDT ››› THOMAS BISHOP
Fox News defended Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush after he said he would still have authorized the invasion of Iraq "given what we know now," claiming that Bush simply misunderstood the question.

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush faced criticism from conservatives for comments he made during a May 11 interview with Fox News host Megyn Kelly, where he said (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2015/05/10/jeb-bush-says-he-would-have-invaded-iraq/) that he would have authorized the invasion of Iraq after Kelly asked him if he would have done so "knowing what we know now." Conservative columnist Byron York call (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/241709-bush-draws-criticism-from-right-on-iraq)ed (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/241709-bush-draws-criticism-from-right-on-iraq) Bush's response a "disastrous defense of the Iraq War" and radio host Laura Ingraham commented (http://mediamatters.org/video/203601) that "there has to be something wrong" with Bush for his answer.
But Fox News quickly helped Bush whitewash his comments as a misinterpretation. On May 11, soon after the interview aired, Kelly said (http://mediamatters.org/embed/clips/2015/05/12/39966/fnc-kf-20150511-bush-spin) that Bush was trying to answer a different question.

Trump got an edge, despite being all over the place/incoherent on many issues, early in the game by becoming the most vocal critic of Obama. But such pitch alone may not have lasting power especially for the broader audiences. Rand can really create a unique diffrentiator by becoming a vocal critic of both Bush and Obama. Attacking Trump should be just a sport to keep media owners happy.

[RonPaulGeorge&Ringo]

He should, and there's still time. But if Rand reruns the 2012 strategy and waits until April or something to attack Jeb, he will lose.

Why can't Rand just talk about what he believes and what his agenda will be? He's way smarter than Jeb, and if he can get his own message across, Jeb really will not be a problem.
