Oh, this is rich. Jeb Bush has challenged Donald Trump to a one-on-one debate, “any time, any place.”
Speaking at a luncheon in Palm Beach, Florida on Monday, Bush said “Donald, I’ll take you on one-on-one in a debate, any time, any place,” in response to a moderator question of what he’d say to the billionaire should he walk in at that moment.
“You name it and I’ll do it,” the former Florida governor said.
Bush is desperately trying to revive his flagging campaign, which Trump has characterized as “low energy,” marked by sliding poll numbers (Chris Christie just passed Bush in the latest Iowa polls) and small crowds.

This Twitter user explains why he thinks it’s unlikely Trump and Bush will go at it, mano-a-mano.

And this tweet offers wise advice to Bush.
@TIME take my advise Jeb. Don't.
