In a battle that hasn't exactly been marked by its civility, the Donald Trump-Jeb Bush rivalry is taking on a whole new dimension in the closing days of the New Hampshire primary campaign.
Bush, who needs a strong finish in the Granite State to revive his 2016 hopes, enlisted the help of his mother, Barbara Bush, late this week,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>as she<span style="color: Red;">*</span>hit the trail in New Hampshire with her son.

Jeb Bush carries family legacy into New Hampshire
While out campaigning, the 90-year-old former first lady weighed in on the New York billionaire, who leads New Hampshire polls, in an interview with CNN.
Among other things, she said of Trump: "I'm sick of him."
Trump, not surprisingly, took to Twitter Saturday morning, calling<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Jeb Bush's campaign "a total disaster." He then added that Bush "had to bring in mommy to take a slap at me. Not nice!"
Wow, Jeb Bush, whose campaign is a total disaster, had to bring in mommy to take a slap at me. Not nice!

This is hardly the first skirmish between Trump<span style="color: Red;">*</span>— who's repeatedly called the former Florida governor<span style="color: Red;">*</span>"low energy"<span style="color: Red;">*</span>— and Bush<span style="color: Red;">*</span>— who called Trump "a<span style="color: Red;">*</span>loser" this week following his second-place finish in Iowa on Monday.
So now you can add the Barbara Bush-Donald Trump feud to the long list of contentious topics that may come up at tonight's debate in Manchester, N.H.
