Bush camp includes Santorum in new anti-Rubio ad

It’s “the end of the road for the Bush dynasty” if he can’t pull out a second place finish in New Hampshire’s February 9 primary, said Boston University political scientist Tom Whalen.

But Bush is ultimately banking on his experience as a businessman and former Florida governor to convince voters that he’s best suited for the Oval Office.

The son of George H.W. Bush and George W., Jeb was seen as the presumptive GOP nominee by many when he launched his presidential campaign, but he finished a dismal sixth in Iowa with just 2.8 percent of the vote. “Every campaign, every candidate will be contrasted and compared”.

Christie has made it a point to say he’d like to finish ahead of the other governors – but all of his attacks this week have so far focused on the Florida senator.

“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. “He does it all the time”.

Cruz stormed into New Hampshire as the big victor in Iowa, but it’s unclear if that success will translate in a state with a more moderate electorate.

His mother lambasted Mr. Trump for his ongoing attacks Ms. Kelly, including comments widely interpreted as referring to her menstrual cycle, Reuters reported.

“I love my son and I know that America needs him”, Barbara Bush told CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell.

“We know who the boy in the bubble is up here who never answers your questions, who’s constantly scripted and controlled because he can’t answer your questions”, Christie said. The winter surprise sidelined Donald Trump and Sanders, who canceled afternoon events as campaigns sent plucky volunteers trudging through the slush to knock on doors.

Trump has dismissed Jeb Bush as a “low-energy” loser. Christie knocks Bush. Bush knocks Trump.

“Wow, Jeb Bush, whose campaign is a total disaster, had to bring in mommy to take a slap at me”, Trump tweeted Saturday morning.

They seem less interested in Clinton’s pitch as a “progressive who gets things done” than in Sanders’ call for a “political revolution”. “He’s nearly too polite”.

Two Republican governors who share New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s experience of leading heavily Democratic states are joining him on the campaign trail.

Trump has eschewed much of the one-on-one retail politicking of typical campaigns in favour of large rallies.

“If you want to come visit me from the next week after New Hampshire, I’ll be in SC”.

Barbara Bush also attended one of her son’s town hall meetings Thursday night, where she was greeted with a long standing ovation from 300 people crowded into a middle school gymnasium.

“I haven’t seen the snow for 1,000 years”, the 90-year-old former first lady said upon entering Mary Ann’s Diner in Derry.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who news reports say has dramatically cut back staff, will round out the field.

But Barbara Bush protested: “It was no sacrifice”.

Asked if she had anything more to say about Trump, Barbara Bush said she didn’t want him on her mind.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich is urging dozens of volunteers to not miss knocking on any doors as they fan out across the state for a sunny Saturday of campaigning.

Watch to see which of Rubio’s opponents points out that Rick Santorum, who dropped out of the race and endorsed Rubio, was unable to name a single accomplishment of Rubio’s when pressed repeatedly by Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough.

A man wears a hand-lettered “Build the Wall” t-shirt while waiting in line for a campaign … On Thursday, Christie’s campaign released an ad featuring former Sen.

And the New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper’s publisher criticized Rubio in an editorial for presenting himself as a Washington outsider, saying Rubio “must think New Hampshire a bunch of rubes”. “So does that count, or is this just only a one-way street?”

Longtime Cruz aide Jason Johnson says he knows this thinking makes him an “outlier”.

Rubio got a bounce from his Iowa performance with a WMUR/CNN poll showing rising 7 points to 18 percent. Kasich came in third with 13 percent, followed by Bush and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz. The former businesswoman did not satisfy polling criteria set by ABC News and says the game was rigged against her because she beat Christie and Kasich in Iowa, and they will be on the stage and she won’t.
