RENO, Nev. On Wednesday afternoon, just as she sat down to watch TV and eat a corn dog, Ivy Ziedrichs phone rang. It was her sister in Montana.
I am so proud of you, her sister said, for yelling at a politician.
It was the first inkling that Ms. Ziedrich, a 19-year-old college student with a passion for the debate team and the finer points of Middle Eastern policy, had gone viral.
Her confrontation with Jeb Bush, in which she told the former Florida governor a few hours earlier, Your brother created ISIS, was suddenly everywhere online, casting an unwelcome hue on President George W. Bushs legacy from the war in Iraq.
