Presumed Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush came out swinging at probable Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton on Wednesday over her recent claim that businesses don't create jobs. The 2016 preview of what a match-up between the two politicians would look like came at a rally for Colorado Rep. Cory Gardner, the GOP's nominee to the Senate in that state, yesterday evening. Bush characterized Clinton's blunder as 'breathtaking' and argued that 'the problem in America today is that not enough jobs are being created, [but] they are created by business.' Clinton has since clarified that she meant to say America's economy doesn't grow when businesses outsource jobs. However, likely Republican presidential contenders have seized the opportunity to embarrass Clinton over the verbal misstep and frame her as an extremist.
