Bush to campaign for brother Jeb in SC
In a middle school cafeteria, as voters rose to take pictures of 90-year-old former first lady Barbara Bush, Jeb Bush spent some more time writing the latest chapter in the political saga of his family – a short chapter if he doesn’t do well in New Hampshire or SC.

During the Republican debate on Saturday night, Bush accused Trump of using the law to evict an elderly woman from her Atlantic City home so he could build a “limousine parking lot”.
But for his part, Jeb Bush has increasingly been embracing his family name on the campaign trail in recent weeks.
“Governor, you said we need a quieter president”, the reporter, Hunter Walker, national correspondent for Yahoo News, said.
Moments earlier, Bush told CNN’s Dana Bash he was a “joyful warrior”, who wouldn’t sit back and watch “someone try to hijack a party that I believe will allow people to rise up again”.
Baby Got PAC, a pro-Marco Rubio PAC, has a message for those in the Republican establishment who still support Jeb Bush.
“Frankly, he’s a stiff”, Trump said. “I think it’s a very sad situation that’s taking place”. “The strategy is to not abandon who I am, ’cause I’m proud to be a Bush”.
Jeb Bush is by far the most well funded, heavily endorsed candidate for the GOP and in the beginning of the race, he was expected to win handily in the primary election.
Bush has been challenged by Trump, who has called him “low energy”.
“[Bush] goes around saying, ‘I’m the only one with the courage to go after Trump.’ What courage is it?”, Trump asked.
Bush’s comment about his mother’s iron fist isn’t the only one that garnered attention this week.
