Jeb Bush tonight asked Donald Trump for bringing his wife into the center of their immigration debate. Trump declined, but offer that she’s “a lovely woman.”

BASH: “Governor Bush, Mr. Trump has suggested that your views on immigration are influenced by your Mexican-born wife. He said that quote, if my wife were from Mexico, I think I would have a soft spot for people from Mexico. Did Mr. Trump go too far in invoking your wife?”
BUSH: “He did. He did. You’re proud of your family as I am. To subject my wife into the middle of political conversation was completely inappropriate and I hope you apologize for that.”
TRUMP: “ I have to tell you, I hear your wife is a lovely woman. “
BUSH: “She’s fantastic. She’s absolutely the love of my wife and right here and why don’t you apologize to her.”
TRUMP: “I won’t do that because I said nothing wrong. I do hear she’s a lovely woman.”
BUSH: “Here is the deal, my wife is a Mexican-American. American by choice. She loves America and wants a secure border and wants to embrace the American values that make us special and unique. We’re at a cross roads. Will we take the Reagan approach? The hopeful optimistic approach? The approach that says you come to our country legally, you pursue your dreams with a vengeance, you create opportunities for all of us. Or the Donald Trump approach, the approach that says ‘Everything is bad, everything is coming to an end.’”
