Jeb: Trump Is A ‘Creature’ of Obama

“We’re not going to win by insulting our way to the presidency”. Bush’s super PAC still plans a $3.6 million Iowa TV campaign between now and the caucuses on February 1, but Bush’s reduced airtime will nevertheless raise questions about how hard he plans to compete in Iowa.

Bush said he didn’t exactly agree with the president’s characterization of the root of that frustration.

Donald Trump said late Thursday night he hopes the next New Year’s he takes a call from the media that he does so from within the White House.

But while he might have officially tweeted about Jeb Bush the most number of times, it seems Trump never really got over his feud with Fox News host Megyn Kelly. He said he would be out of town for Rubio’s scheduled appearance at Hudson’s on Saturday. “Whenever Donald Trump insults someone, whether in social media or traditional media, it becomes a story”. Speaking to NPR’s Steve Inskeep, the former Florida governor took jabs at the party’s leading presidential candidate while opining about his own political future.

A pro-Bush SuperPAC will still spend $19 million in the first three early states to vote.

Right to Rise has roughly $60 million available to spend as it heads into 2016. “However, we know that Iowa is a challenge”. “With work, and life and bad weather, sometimes it can be too much”, Fyle explained.

Bush, on the other hand, has dropped down to fifth place, with just 5.4% support nationwide.

Expect Bush to practically move to New Hampshire – the state where loyal donors are expecting a turnaround, and where Bush’s strategists believe he needs to finish ahead of Christie, Governor John R. Kasich of OH, and Rubio, to emerge as the establishment’s alternative to Trump or Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.

Earlier this month, CNN reported that Carson’s campaign was in crisis, and last week, the candidate himself pushed back against reports that said he was considering a major shakeup to his campaign staff, including senior staff assignments.

Evidence that all this is working came in a recent Tyndall Report that analyzed airtime on the main news programs of ABC, CBS and NBC.

The president and Hillary Clinton’s stances on national security and threats from the Islamic State were also a common target Wednesday. “That’s the point”, Bush said.

But Mr. Bush, intentionally or not, highlighted an uncomfortable fact about Mr. Trump’s ascendancy in the polls-uncomfortable at least for the progressives and establishment Republicans who pray every day the Trump bubble bursts.

Graham has publicly said he has no plans to endorse anyone right now. But the trajectory of the campaign thus far, Nunberg says, means that it is more likely than not that Trump will lose the first presidential contests in Iowa and New Hampshire, then hobble into SC having lost front-runner status and ceded momentum to his competitors.

Former Gov. Jeb Bush may be languishing in the polls, but he looked and sounded like his old self among faithful Monday afternoon. Aides further worry that the former president, a charismatic campaigner, could outshine his brother on the stump.
