Bush touts upbeat vision with Iowa speech and new video

“I was a scared kid back then”.

Bush called for a balanced budget amendment and term limits. He tested out a similar pitch the previous night during a fundraising stop at a county GOP event in eastern Iowa, and did the same in an op-ed he published in the Des Moines Register that evening.

To paraphrase GOP icon Ronald Reagan, “There you Republicans go again”.

An autographed copy of Wisconson Gov. Scott Walker’s book Unintimidated had exactly zero bids. They have a lovely family that speaks the language.

For Bush, the audience at this dinner in Iowa’s Quad-cities area should have been right in his sweet spot. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found Bush only polling at 7 percent among Republican primary voters, behind Carly Fiorina, Sen. “The lack of appeal that he’s had”. Most other candidates will not be able to afford to advertise in multiple states following the first four votes.

Also attending the Bettendorf event were husband and wife Tim and Marty Berchtold, both 58 years old. “Every country that we have relied on as being a friend no longer trusts the United states”, Bush said.

Santorum: If he somehow manages to surge at the right time, perhaps party actors will feel more comfortable with him than they did in 2012.

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no”, she stated emphatically. I don’t see those people.

A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday showed Bush falling into fourth place in the Republican presidential contest in Florida, trailing consummate outsiders Donald Trump and Ben Carson, along with Florida Sen. “We need to reform Washington so we can have high sustained economic growth where people have a chance at earned success”. There was no raucous cheering.

“Look around this room”, a man told Bush, who spoke to a mostly white crowd. The laws that many are proposing would have done nothing to prevent these attacks. What Bush derides as “free stuff” – say, Medicaid, unemployment insurance, and school lunch subsidies – are a vital safety net for millions of the elderly, the poor, and children, regardless of race or ethnicity.

But voting in Iowa isn’t until February 1.

Speaking to more than 1,000 people at a Waterloo dance hall, the blunt-spoken billionaire suggested the two Floridians, who were political allies when Bush was governor and Rubio a state legislator, shouldn’t engage in niceties when they’re asked about the other because they’re really “seething” inside about having to compete.

Bush also echoed his closing remarks in the second Republican debate, held last month in Simi Valley, California, where he characterized the plight of specific Americans he hoped his agenda could inspire. They should go to the committee hearings. “Jeb is running on his record, but there is obviously tremendous respect for and good will toward President Bush in the party and beyond thanks to his leadership in a time of crisis for this country”, spokeswoman Allie Brandenburger said. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) is “going to get the Olympic gold medal for most promises made in the year before the election”. “I’ve gotta show my heart”.

Disruption, it seems, is the unofficial theme of Jeb’s current three-day swing through the Hawkeye State. And to demonstrate to people who he is and what he did as a governor. “I’m not gonna be musing about someone who does something stupid in the campaign”.
