Donald Trump's entree into the GOP presidential race, along with his rapid ascent to commandeer the vast field, caught everyone in the political arena off-guard, particularly presumed front-runner Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida who wowed the electorate with his "shock-and-awe fundraising campaign," according to Politico. Initially advised not to engage the notoriously pugnacious Trump, presumably to let him self-implode, Bush was drawn into the blustery billionaire's fray when Trump said Bush "has to like Mexican illegals because of his wife," who is a Mexican-American.
