Bush said on the debate stage that Trump went too far in invoking his wife, and suggested he apologize.
"I have to tell you, I hear your wife is a lovely woman," Trump said.
"She's fantastic," a beaming Bush responded. "She's absolutely the love of my life and right here, and why don't you apologize to her?"
"I won't do that because I said nothing wrong," Trump said. "I do hear she's a lovely woman."
