Trump holds lead in New Hampshire, rebuked for profanity by Bushes

New opinion polls following Monday’s Iowa caucuses showed Trump retaining a double-digit lead in New Hampshire’s primary next Tuesday with Rubio rapidly rising into second place in the state as Republicans battle for the nomination in November’s presidential election. He served as Florida’s governor from 1999 to 2007.

“I don’t think a president would have ever shouted profanities in a speech in front of thousands of people with kids in the crowd”, Jeb Bush said. I don’t think – if you have a sister or a brother you’re probably not the same.

“It’s like the song ‘New York, New York.’ If he can make it here, he can make it anywhere”, said University of New Hampshire political scientist and UNH survey director Andy Smith.

“This is a big deal folks”. “I’m proud of my dad, I’m proud of my brother, I’m proud of being a Bush”.

Bush, who’s been polling at about 10 percent in New Hampshire after Trump, Sens. “But Jeb is the nicest, wisest, most caring, loyal, disciplined”, she said, adding, “Not by me!” when the audience laughed.

“I stand by every question I asked him and he was not the only one who had tough questions”, Kelly told George Stephanopoulos.

He pushed back on characterizations of him as part of the Republican “establishment”.

Deep-pocketed supporters have poured $100 million into the Bush machinery, but their investment is under severe threat.

“If you’re a Republican donor or insider who supported Jeb Bush, you did so for all the right reasons”. With Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders’ holding strong among the state’s millennials, Rubio says he offers an alternative to the Vermont senator’s socialism.

It’s likely, however, she’s referring to Donald Trump, the No. 2 Iowa finisher who has long mocked her son, Jeb, on the campaign trail.

“But he’s not a bragger”, she said.
