Bush: Trump has my vote
Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush’s three-day campaign swing through Iowa this week is all about presenting himself as the anti-Washington politician many conservatives crave to shake up Washington.
This is not where Bush and his advisers expected to be when he got into the race early this year.
A Republican presidential candidate made a pit stop in Oskaloosa this past week.
This “free stuff” was just Jeb Bush dusting off the long-disproved myth of the Black Welfare Mother in a desperate effort to appeal to conservatives before his campaign vanishes for good. To complicate matters, George’s previous decision to invade Iraq could become one of Jeb’s vulnerabilities if the latter uses the former too much in his campaign. George W. Bush was right-brain: instinctive. Recognizing the danger, Bush has started to raise pointed questions about his old friend’s qualifications, portraying him as a promising protégé who needs more time in the minor leagues. “He’s just [become] a wiser man. That comes with age and experience”.
Former Muscatine Community School District Superintendent Art Sensor called Bush the “best-qualified candidate by far”.
“I’ve got to tell the Jeb story”.
“He did and he still does, that’s for sure”, Bush said. “No. 1, I am not sitting in the United States Senate”. “He has these special skills sets”. Yet it is taken as an article of faith by Republican wise men and women that Trump will surely lose. “He hasn’t gotten to a stage in life where Jeb is”.
Mr. Bush, who relishes discussion of policy and counts two former USA presidents as a family, is struggling to be treated like a renegade.
To paraphrase GOP icon Ronald Reagan, “There you Republicans go again”.
“These polls don’t matter”, he said.
“He agrees with that”, Cardenas said.
For Bush, the audience at this dinner in Iowa’s Quad-cities area should have been right in his sweet spot. “Do you know if the deal gets rejected they still get the money?” “But it’s in the family, it’s a clumsy, hard thing for outsiders to see”.
Trump, the billionaire running for the Republican presidential nomination, gave Bush that label during an interview on Fox News Tuesday night.
The reforms Bush has recently proposed to make the government more accountable to the public consist primarily of tax cuts that would benefit the wealthy and promises to roll back regulations on the private sector, including the financial services industry. Bush says he would do a better job of uniting the American people and maintaining relationships with allies overseas.
This week we report on Donald Trump – except there’s nothing to report. I have tremendous admiration and respect for him personally. But if Biden does decide to seek the presidency, the New York Times writes, he would pose a greater challenge to Hillary Clinton than is Sen.
“This is the 21st century, we have to confront the issues of today and now”, Rubio said. “Don’t you think shareholders can rebel against that kind of action?”
“Strong as a goat”, Bush replied, to laughter.
Though there are two Latinos in the race – Rubio, of course, and Sen.
Marco Rubio had been selected as the golden boy in 2013 to bring leadership and intelligence to the GOP’s answer to immigration. Its an interesting question of who is losing who said Josh Ginsberg, chief executive of Zignal Labs.
Anyone who has found this situation frustrating ought to be happy with the way this campaign season is going.
