Donald Trump and Jeb Bush faced off at dueling town halls in New Hampshire Wednesday evening that capped a long day of campaigning in the state.
In Derry, Trump repeatedly criticized the former Florida governor as low energy and mocked him for drawing a smaller crowd than he did.
In nearby Merrimack, Bush portrayed the billionaire businessman and current GOP front-runner as a tax hike-promoting Democrat. Bush said his conservative record stands on its own.
Trump also criticized other Republicans, including 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney. He said Romney had "choked" and assured that he won't do the same.
Trump skipped an earlier education forum attended by half a dozen of his competitors in the state.
