Bush maintains anti-Trump campaign
“If there’s fraud or if there’s abuse, if pregnant women are coming in to have babies, simply because they can do it, then there ought to be greater enforcement”, Bush told Bill Bennett’s Morning in America Show. You can mention his name …
Donald Trump got into a testy exchange with a reporter Wednesday night, saying that he would continue to use the term “anchor baby” regardless of whether some find it offensive. “This is going to be my pitch: Let’s support someone who you don’t have to guess where he stands because he’s consistent, because he’s been governor he’s consistently had the views that he has”. “Mr. Trump doesn’t have a proven conservative record”. This so-called anchor baby would have to wait until he or she was 21 years old to even begin the process of sponsoring his parents for citizenship. His big problem with Trump’s plan is that it’s too expensive.
At the moment, the campaign is dominated by Trump and other political neophytes drawing enthusiastic crowds and preaching an anti-establishment message, though party strategists anticipate attention will shift to more traditional candidates eventually.
Allen referred to a recent Politico poll that asked Iowa and New Hampshire GOP insiders whether they believed Bush’s campaign was in trouble in their state. “And every time a shot is fired they run?” “He’s done enough, but much more needs to be done at this point”.

Bush was expected to discuss foreign policy, including his plan for combating Islamic militants. “The best way to shake those perceptions it to engage against the person who is in the media on a 24/7 loop”.
The appearances build onto a fundraising email that George W. Bush sent out Thursday on behalf of his brother, urging donors to back his younger brother.
The donation pitch was the former president’s first entry into the 2016 campaign. Trump, as he has previously, called Bush’s comment that Iraqis want to know the United States has “skin in the game” in the fight against the Islamic State “one of the dumber things I’ve heard ever in politics”. Asked if that conflicts with his characterization that he is his own man, Bush snapped back.
Jeb Bush’s attempt to echo Donald Trump’s un-PC talk on immigration by unapologetically using the derogatory term “anchor baby” is getting him hit from both sides of the aisle. “He’s given more money to Democrats than he’s given to Republicans”, Bush said at his Merrimack appearance. Reporter: Are you aware the term anchor babies is an offensive term.
“I’m happy to use the term, but the real issue here is we need to secure our border“.
