Bush to mom: ‘Crowd sizes normally aren’t this large’
It’s unlikely the three governors and Mr. Rubio can all emerge from New Hampshire as credible candidates – and they know it. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie released satirical videos slamming the Floridian as “scripted” for repeating himself in interviews and speeches.
Jeb Bush is ready to be President of the United States, and I am confident that he will be a commander in chief who has the back of our soldiers and veterans and who will craft a foreign policy strategy that will regain the trust of our allies and strike fear in the hearts of our enemies. Rubio believes in exceptions to abortion only in cases where the mother’s life is threatened, not for rape or incest. While it wasn’t the most spectacular of details it was still cool to be on the opposite side of the fence and up close to the home of America’s elected leader who at the time was George Herbert Walker Bush.
Steve Duprey, who leads the RNC’s debate committee, says Fiorina deserves to be on the stage because she has campaigned vigorously in the state. Asked if Rubio’s position is too extreme, Bush said he “respects” it but thinks it won’t resonate with large swaths of voters. “This is not an easy decision, but Marco will have to explain that position”. Right to Rise USA, a super PAC backing Bush’s bid, plans to spend more than $20 million on advertising across the state.
“There are kids listening to this, for crying out loud”, Bush complained at an event in Derry ahead of Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, Politico reported.
On the right you have The Donald, who I actually liked because of his anti-establishment attitude but now after his loss in Iowa he seems to have lost interest.
New Hampshire voters routinely ask Jeb Bush about his parents, who spend part of the year in neighboring ME, and like to share stories and photos from meeting them in the past. “Don’t you get in his firing line!” she continued. The two candidates have refrained from attacking each other and have both focused on the freshman senator.
Barbara Bush says there is a boastful candidate in the race whom she’s “not getting in a spitting match with (because) he can spit further than I can”.
“Rubio and Cruz have never managed a thing, and yet we are thinking of making the same mistake from a leadership perspective that Democrats made – and our country made – eight years ago”, Mr. Christie said.
Beyond the potential fallout from a poor New Hampshire performance by Bush, there could be other shakeups.
He is running fifth in New Hampshire, at 9.7%, but polls at just half that nationally, according to the latest RealClearPolitics poll averages. The 43rd president will also campaign for Jeb in SC. “I mean Marco today had a hard time being able to describe his record of accomplishment”. Are we seeing donors open their wallets to his campaign?
“The question is, what kind of president do you want?”
“We are in this for the long haul, folks”, Fiorina said.
