If this article from The New York Times is to be trusted, Jeb Bush’s allies are ready to launch a head-on attack against Marco Rubio, the most serious rival of the former Florida governor among the so-called serious candidates.

The super political action committee, Right to Rise, which has $100 million at its disposal, notably created an ad accusing Rubio of being too extreme in his stance on abortion. The young Florida senator has already spoken out against terminating pregnancies, even in the case of incest or rape.

According to Bush’s allies, such a position would be suicidal in a general election. However, an ad denouncing this position during the Republican primaries could well come back to haunt Right to Rise’s favorite candidate.

In any case, it will be interesting to see how Bush will behave this evening during the fourth debate of the Republican primaries for the presidency, hosted by Fox Business. Some donors, strategists and analysts believe that this debate will be his last chance.

In the meantime, Rubio’s team is ready for Bush’s attacks concerning his former protégé’s lack of experience in the Senate. This morning, the team broadcast an ad on the Internet re-iterating Bush’s praise of Rubio:

Bush, Rubio et l’avortement

S’il faut se fier à cet article du New York Times, les alliés de Jeb Bush sont prêts à lancer une attaque frontale contre Marco Rubio, le plus sérieux rival de l’ancien gouverneur de Floride parmi les candidats dits sérieux.

Le Super PAC Right to Rise, qui dispose de 100 millions de dollars, a notamment réalisé une pub accusant Rubio d’être trop extrémiste en matière d’avortement. Le jeune sénateur de Floride s’est déjà prononcé contre les interruptions de grossesse même en cas d’inceste ou de viol.

Selon les alliés de Bush, une telle position serait suicidaire dans une élection générale. Mais une pub dénonçant cette position durant les primaires républicaines pourrait bien se retourner contre le candidat préféré de Right to Rise.

Quoi qu’il en soit, il sera intéressant de voir comment Bush se comportera ce soir à l’occasion du quatrième débat des primaires républicaines pour la présidence, présenté sur Fox Business. Certains donateurs, stratèges et analystes estiment qu’il s’agit pour lui du débat de la dernière chance.

En attendant, l’équipe de Rubio est déjà prête aux attaques de Bush sur le manque d’expérience ou d’assiduité au Sénat de son ancien protégé. Elle a diffusé ce matin une pub sur internet rappelant les louanges de Bush à l’endroit de Rubio :
