Bush: New Hampshire race is ‘wide-open’

The Republican candidate was not in state when the results of the Iowa Caucus were announced; instead, he was in Manchester, New Hampshire, the site of the first primary battle in the USA, which will take place next week. However, much appears to be decided, with just 39 percent of Republican primary voters saying they have firmly decided who they will vote for. Up until last night, Iowans have supported every Bush family campaign. These voters, especially for the candidates positioned closer to the political center, have become the focus of the campaign. It’s time for him to start planning his exit strategy.

Jeb Bush was forced to beg attendees to applaud after delivering an anticipated crowd-pleaser at a Tuesday campaign stop in New Hampshire.

Bush dismisses the notion that the GOP and his supporters are anxious about his prospects, and wondering whether he’ll be a contender after New Hampshire. The speakers point to $19 billion in tax cuts, 1.3 million new jobs and gains in student achievement as some of Bush’s successes during his time in office. The frustration comes with the news that Bush is polling at a disappointing fourth in their shared home state of Florida, but still dissolves a Republican political alliance once considered to be unbreakable.

After an event in Bow, N.H. Wednesday, Rubio said he and his now-former rival have “had some policy disagreements”, especially on national security issues. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, won in Iowa was because he “went all in” with more than 1000 volunteers working there for eight months. “I wouldn’t even consider them”, she said. After the 2008 election, a majority of the members of the state Senate were women.

Rand Paul is dropping out of the 2016 race for president.

One previous Mitt Romney voter attended Jeb Bush’s New Hampshire speech and told The Boston Globe that he had been leaning toward Trump until he heard Bush speak, suggesting that some of the borrowed Trump rhetoric may be working.
