{mosads}Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Thursday went after a variety of targets in as series of tweets, targeting a Democrat, a Republican and several reporters within an hour.

Trump started out with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a familiar target. The billionaire businessman criticizes a Bush TV ad that Trump feels doesn’t fairly portray an exchange the two had at a recent GOP presidential debate.

He also hit Bush for falling poll numbers.

In the ridiculous @JebBush ad about me, Jeb is speaking to me during the debate, but doesn't allow my answer, which destroys him – SO SAD!

Wow, even lowly Rand Paul has just past @JebBush in the new @CNN Poll. Jeb is at 3%, I'm at 39%. Stop throwing your money down the drain!

Trump also went after Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton. The two have sniped at each other repeatedly in recent days. Trump drew controversy after saying Clinton got “schlonged” in the 2008 presidential race.

Next year will be an interesting one. I look forward to running against Hillary Clinton, a totally flawed candidate, and beating her soundly

The business mogul attacked New York Times reporters Amy Chozick and Maggie Haberman, who wrote Wednesday that Clinton intends to use Trump’s recent attacks on her to galvanize support among women.

Trump also poked at NBC’s Chuck Todd, accusing the “Meet the Press” anchor of selectively highlighting polls to make Trump look bad.

Third rate reporters Amy Chozick and Maggie Haberman of the failing @nytimes are totally in the Hillary circle of bias. Think about Bill!

Why isn't @chucktodd using the much newer @CNN Poll when discussing how well I am doing instead of the older Q Poll? CNN even better!

.@meetthepress and @chucktodd very dishonest in not showing the new @CNN Poll where I am at 39%, 21points higher than Cruz. Be honest Chuck!

Trump wrapped up the series of tweets with a note about his plans to attend Christmas Eve service at his church in Palm Beach, Fla.

I am now in Palm Beach, Florida, and will be going to church tonight. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
