The race within the 2016 Republican presidential primary race between Senator Marco Rubio and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, has quickly become the talk of the political world.
But while both Rubio and Bush are close friends and pull considerable support throughout Florida, Rubio seems to be pulling away from Jeb among conservatives activists and voters.An ongoing and unscientific Shark Tank poll has Rubio trouncing Jeb by a 75-25 percentage point margin.
In order for Jeb Bush to have a chance of distancing himself from Rubio, and add to his lead in the national polls, Bush has needed to come out an make the case, as to why he is the more serious, knowledgeable, substantive, and most electable of the two.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
If you look at what Jeb Bush is doing on social media, in comparison to what Rubio is doing, Jeb is the clear frontrunner.
While Rubio’s twitter page, which seems to have been hijacked by his presidential campaign, is shamelessly peddling campaign shirts and trinkets, as well as asking for donations, Bush is actually posting items that make him look presidential, and not someone who is trying to sell you a used car.
Rubio is posting up some newsworthy tweets, but nothing like what Jeb is doing. Jeb Bush is also asking for campaign dollars.Here are Rubio’s and Bush’s last five tweets:

Sad to see discriminatory Blaine Amendment used to deny families school choice. Know Douglas CO will find other ways to expand choice.

Pleased to see SCOTUS rightly conclude that EPA must consider cost of regs & job impact. Much needed rules for the Obama admin rule makers!
