Bush talks tax-cutting in speech to tea party group

If the conventional wisdom is right, many Republican voters are enjoying their Trump flirtation, but will get more serious as the caucuses and primaries to select an actual commander-in-chief draw closer. That Trump event tonight set to be his biggest ever.

Bush responded in kind Friday, ripping Trump as not representing conservative immigration policies.

And in terms of current hot-button issues, it’s Bush, not Trump, who needs to convince the right of his bona fides.

On CNN, it was practically Trump night, since after airing part of his New Hampshire presser and town hall, the network devoted the 9 p.m. hour to a substantive Chris Cuomo interview with The Donald.

Bush doubled-down on this notion, supporting the use of the term and by default, his Republican rival.

However the businessman, recognized for his bombastic rhetoric, is not the one one utilizing – and defending – the phrase.

Jeb Bush, as he often notes, co-wrote a book two years ago called “Immigration Wars”, laying out a path to reforming America’s immigration system.

“That’s not a conservative value, in my mind”, Bush told the audience.

He said: “If there’s fraud or if there’s abuse, if people are bringing, pregnant women are coming in to have babies simply because they can do it, then there ought to be greater enforcement…”

Bush bristled when asked whether it was appropriate to insist he is his own man, yet enlist brother George’s help in his campaign. “There’s 25 percent of the Republicans who are entertained by Donald Trump“.

New York City health officials have identified a Bronx hotel as the source of a deadly outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease.

Ultimately, after months of twists, turns and drama, we will wind up with the two candidates with the most money and the most establishment support from their respective parties.

The theory among those concerned about the practice is that it would be easier for the parents to obtain US citizenship – but US law requires children of non-citizen parents to wait until age 21 to sponsor family members to legally come to the US.

Bush noted what he sees as a key difference between himself and tea party favorites Rubio of Florida and Cruz of Texas, who speak to the summit Saturday. Based on the Publish, it was within the ensuing debate that the time period “anchor child” rose to political prominence, notably amongst proponents of tightening immigration restrictions. The paper defined it as “a derogatory term for a child born in the United States to an immigrant”.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is facing fresh worries among elected Democrats about her use of a private email account while serving as secretary of state, as new polls signal that the inquiry is taking a toll on her presidential campaign.

The email hit inboxes as a new Quinnipiac University poll showed Jeb trailing “The Donald”, as he is nicknamed, in three key swing states: Ohio, Pennsylvania and Bush’s home turf of Florida.

When a reporter questioned Bush about his use of the term, he said that he did not regret saying it and blamed Democrats for the negative stigma surrounding the words. “I’m all in creating strategies to deal with this”. “They come for opportunity, they give back so much to this country, they make it vibrant, they make it economically a powerhouse in the world and here we have presidential candidates – these are people who want the top spot in the land… and using a term that is so vile”.

Trump, Rand Paul, Rick Santorum, Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal and Scott Walker are all in favor of ending birthright citizenship.
