Endorse This: Jeb Bush’s Mom Approves This Message

Jeb posted a tweet yesterday saying Trump used to be very supportive of Hillary and was “basically a democrat”.

In the ad, Barbara Bush also takes an oblique swipe at her son’s rival and chief tormentor, Donald Trump. Trump led the way with 31 percent.

Bush said New Hampshire voters make the difference in shaping what the general election looks like.

The New Republic’s Jeet Heer said in response, “There have been many sad moments in Jeb Bush’s ill-fated campaign, but this is surely one of the most pathetic”.

Trump continues to dominate polling in the first primary state, but did not attend Saturday’s event.

The video, first reported by CNN, represents a bold reversal for the 90-year-old Bush, who declared in an interview in 2013, ‘We’ve had enough Bushes, ‘ referring to her husband, former President George H.W. Bush, and her son, former President George W. Bush. Rand Paul, former CEO Carly Fiorina and former senator Rick Santorum.

The latest Quinnipiac University poll for Iowa, which casts the first votes in the election process on February 1, put Bush in a tie for sixth place with three percent of likely Republican caucus-goers.

Bush has tried to shift that momentum upward by attacking Trump on a variety of issues, but nothing seems to be working for the Floridian’s campaign.

The real estate tycoon has relentlessly mocked Bush’s son on the campaign trail as a “low-energy” person while ridiculing his poor performance in the polls. She might be the one who’s best able to stand up to him.

“Donald Trump doesn’t know who he is messing with when he is messing with Barbara Bush”, he said.

“I think it’s really great that in America, you want to be commander in chief, you want to be the most important political figure in the world, you’ve got to start by renting a auto and driving to town halls and meeting with 30 and 40 people at a time”, Rubio told the crowd in a dimly lit hotel ballroom south of Nashua’s downtown.

Just weeks from the primary, his campaign released an ad that attacks Trump for mocking a reporter with a disability.
