Pro-Bush group attacks GOP rivals, invokes U.S. security
Jeb Bush’s leadership PAC filed a Federal Election Commission complaint against Donald Trump Wednesday, accusing his campaign of illegally accepting corporate funds by using the Trump Organization’s legal counsel to fire off cease-and-desist letters to critics.
Fernandez began the campaign before Trump’s statement this week that Muslims should be banned from entering the country, but he mentioned the remarks as another example of why he’s hoping to knock Trump down as a front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination.
In almost the same breath, Bush first called for a halt in refugees – plus a review of how we let in Muslims from friendly nations: “And we should pause and make sure, like our visa waiver program”.
“I’m certainly one of those mainstream Republicans who’s deeply concerned about Donald Trump”, said Fergus Cullen, a former chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party. In a CNN/ORC poll released on Friday, for instance, the Floridian garnered the support of just 3 percent of Republican voters. Ohio Gov. John Kasich addressed national security in NY. And Ben Carson outlined plans to reshape the health care system. Those efforts do not seem to be piercing Trump’s Teflon coating, as he continues to hold a commanding lead in national and early state polling.
Bush was asked about the ad this weekend on ABC News’ This Week and whether he thought comparisons to Mussolini and Hitler were appropriate.
But others in New Hampshire – including some leading Republicans – are more willing to take on Trump aggressively. “We will carpet bomb them into oblivion”, he said at a tea party rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Sunday. Charlie Spies, the super PAC’s treasurer, declined to disclose how much Murphy is earning, but said “it is far lower than anything I have seen for a general consultant in his position”. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
Andy Smith of The University of New Hampshire Survey Center, which conducted the survey, says 59 percent of Granite State Republicans now believe Trump will win the primary.
The presidential feud between Jeb Bush and a certain Donald J. Trump, however, has been taken to the next level-the Internet. “I know you don’t think he’s going to get it. I know you think you’re going to be the nominee”.
A few months ago in this column, I wrote this about Trump: “If you have ever had an obstinate fly invade your space and rest on an inconvenient part of your body where killing it might hurt you, then you have a picture of what Trump is doing to the Republican Party”.
