In what could be a preview of a potential general-election race, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) repeatedly exchanged shots on Monday, posting images to mock one other with sarcastic tweets.
Their back-and-forth began when Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, touted her new college affordability plan:
Cost won't be a barrier to an education. Debt won't hold you back. Read Hillary's plan: http://t.co/A4pWb3fOf4 pic.twitter.com/KVyr8SlSVn

Bush decided to jump into the conversation by repurposing Clinton's image to argue that President Barack Obama, under whom Clinton once served, has done little to address the college-affordability issue:

Clinton has gone out of her way recently to attack Bush. And, sure enough, her campaign responded directly to his Twitter broadside. The Clinton campaign took Bush's image, scribbled new text on top of it, and declared that his gubernatorial record had an "F" grade on college affordability in Florida:
