Don’t expect Donald Trump or Jeb Bush to stop saying ‘anchor babies’

Bush is among a crowded field of Republicans seeking that party’s nomination. Bush asked a reporter who questioned whether he regreted calling Americans with undocumented parented “anchor babies”.

Trump has not proven popular with social conservatives. “He isn’t”. I’ve been consistently pro- life; he until recently was for partial- birth abortion.

“It’s a long process, and I think it would take too long”. One might think Bush’s “solid record of advocacy for comprehensive immigration reform, fluency in Spanish, and Mexican-born wife ought to make him ideally situated to grow the GOP’s share of the Latino vote”, writes Yglesias.

Clinton’s allies predict congressional Republicans will overplay their hand when Clinton testifies in October before a GOP-led panel investigating the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya.

“We are going to win as conservatives if we solve problems by reforming things for everybody”, Bush said, his voice echoing until applause began to trickle across the hall.

Hence the Bush team’s new “we’re the rightmost” strategy. Both candidates have been battling in recent weeks as Trump has surged in the polls, in large part due to his outspokenness on the issue. Libertarian hero, Kentucky Sen. “The economy has been transformed, and inequality has risen to unprecedented levels, and people like Trump come along and say it’s all about illegal immigrants, and with these underlying fears, it’s a combustible mixture”.

As for Trump’s knock that the Bush crowd was “sleeping”, his rival responded: “That’s an insult”.

Favored institution candidate Jeb Bush, whereas deriding the numerous prices of Trump’s general immigration proposals, did agree that if “pregnant ladies are coming in to have infants just because they will do it, then there should be higher enforcement”. “He’s given more money to Democrats than he’s given to Republicans”. Two days later, Bush doubled down during a national-security forum in Iowa, insisting that “taking out Saddam Hussein turned out to be a pretty good deal” and that post-surge Iraq was “fragile but secure”. Biden has struggled in two previous presidential bids, but his entry could offer Democrats another alternative.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

To which Bush replied: “No, it isn’t…” Facing a Democratic-fueled backlash, Bush defended his use of the term Thursday, but stressed that he believes people who are born in the country should have American citizenship.

Bush, who already had a track record of doing business with sketchy characters, thought it made sense at the same time he was exploring a presidential run previous year to raise millions of dollars from foreign investors for his private equity ventures. At his Thursday appearance in Keene, a voter told Bush that his brother “won’t even eat Bush beans”.

Rubio and Bush sought to massage the issue, saying they did not want to get rid of the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship but do want a crackdown on clear abuses.

“Is that a contradiction?” he said.

While Jeb has insisted that “I am my own man”, he has struggled to emerge from his brother’s shadow. It’s like when Sarah Silverman tried to get out of jury duty by writing “I love Chinks” on her juror information form.
