Jeb Bush’s new campaign to confront Republican rival Donald Trump took a decidedly personal turn Wednesday.
Bush’s team launched a candidate “quiz,” aimed at contrasting Bush’s record with Trump’s more liberal positions in the past on issues such as gun control and abortion.
Question No. 7 hits Trump over a matter of personal hygiene, asking voters whether they’d back a candidate who “strives to shake every hand everywhere” or a “germophobe when it comes to shaking hands.”
Apparently, Trump’s aversion to hand-shaking is well-documented. He has called it “one of the curses of American society” and said he’s a “clean hands freak” who washes his hands frequently.
One Bush aide decided to pile on:
Grab your hand sanitizer and take the quiz! https://t.co/4Jq59GNPBi

Bush’s quiz is part of a new offensive against the real-estate mogul, who sits atop the Republican polls.
Trump has targeting Bush for weeks, taunting him as “low energy” and releasing a video Monday that juxtaposes Bush’s comments that undocumented immigrants enter the United States as an “act of love” with mug shots of immigrants who have been accused of murder.
This is no "act of love" as Jeb Bush said…The war of words shows no sign of abating.

On Wednesday, Trump criticized Bush for speaking Spanish on the campaign trail, telling Breitbart<span style="color: Red;">*</span>News that Bush “should really set the example by speaking English while in the United States.”
