George W. Bush cuts SC radio ad for Jeb
To beef up his credibility in the Palmetto State, his big brother, former President George W. Bush, is hitting the air waves on behalf of Jeb’s campaign.
“This is President George W. Bush”, he says in the ad. “We live in troubled times with the military deployed around the world”.
Did Jeb Bush improve his fortunes in this week’s New Hampshire’s primary? Currently, Jeb Bush is polling at 10% in sc, behind Donald Trump (36%), Ted Cruz (19.7%) and Marco Rubio (12.7%).
The ad comes before the 43rd president’s expected appearance on the campaign trail in the days leading up to the February 20 SC primary.
Jeb Bush: I’m the only candidate for president who is running on my record – not away from it – and the only candidate with a real plan to defeat ISIS, balance the budget, and grow our economy. Jeb has dealt with crises as the governor of Florida, and he did so with steadiness, and a calmness necessary in a good leader’. “He can make the tough decision to keep Americans safe and our country free”, George W. Bush said.
Some other familiar names working behind the scenes for Gov. Bush are former Congressman Tommy Hartnett, Sally Atwater – widow of the late legendary consultant Lee Atwater – Catherine Templeton, former head at DHEC and LLR – former GOP Chairman Barry Wynn, Medal of Honor recipient Kyle Carpenter, former Ambassador and House Majority Leader David Wilkins and maybe best known, Sen.
“‘Governor Kasich has little to no chance in SC, and does not have a national organization that can compete, ‘ the memo says”.
At this time of crisis, it’s worth taking stock of what the Bush brand of politics has represented.
Cruz had a slightly different assessment of the situation on the ground in SC, suggesting that no amount of brotherly love will be enough to get Bush back into what is now a “two-man race” between himself and Donald Trump.
“I like the fact he has executive experience”, Stewart said.
