Donald Trump has long been the chief adversary of Jeb Bush. But in Tuesday's debate, Trump pined for Bush to get a word in edgewise as the Florida governor struggled to do so.

Kasich called Trump's deportation push a "silly plan."
"Thank you Donald for letting me speak at the debate, that's very nice of you," Bush wryly said. "I really appreciate that. What a generous man you are."
Bush went on to pan Trump's plan for deportation and repeat his calls for illegal immigrants to achieve a "legal status" in the country after they pay fines and learn English, adding that the Trump plan is "not possible" in nature. The former Florida governor told Trump that Hillary Clinton's campaign is "doing high fives" when they hear that kind of rhetoric.
