George W. Bush to make first appearance for brother Jeb

The Republican establishment is grappling with an uncomfortable reality: No single candidate is about to be crowned as its standard-bearer after New Hampshire’s primary.

The stakes are high for the remaining candidates, as they head into a period of the primary season that relies less on retail politicking.

Hoping for survival in the South, a muddled field of Republican presidential contenders descended Wednesday on SC, no closer to clarity about who can stand between Donald Trump and their party’s nomination.

With Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina out, it’s a smaller field now in SC. It remains to be seen whether their nasty and personal attacks will reappear on the debate stage.

One person in the crowd shouted that Trump was too “profane” to be president.

Cruz has defended himself from the “birther” claim that he’s disqualified from the office, including in a presidential debate in January.

Impressively, Cruz came in third in New Hampshire, only spending approximately $18.00 per vote in advertisements while Jeb Bush came in fourth, spending approximately $1200.00 per vote garnered in advertisement.

During his New Hampshire victory speech Sanders appealed to supporters to contribute what they could. To keep his campaign alive, he’ll have to take the others down a notch.

Right To Rise USA, the super PAC backing Bush, released an attack ad blasting Trump for supporting partial-birth abortion, allegedly defrauding students of Trump University and trying “to seize private property to line his own pockets”. Or will he take on his competitors for the title of “establishment” candidate? He was followed by U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida (14.6 percent), former Florida Governor Jeb Bush (10.9 percent) and Ohio Governor John Kasich (8.7 percent), according to the poll, which has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 3.5 percentage points. Marco Rubio have introduced a bludgeon of criticism against Trump as they crisscross the Palmetto State.

Can Rubio rehabilitate his image?

Jumping city to city, they sleep in the same hotel suite most nights, with Rubio often falling asleep before all of the children, Jeanette Rubio said.

The Florida senator went on to jab Trump, as well. These numbers all look very different from those in Iowa and New Hampshire, which both have white populations in the 90 percent range.

Cruz will show off his religious bona fides with stops at mega-churches in Rock Hill, featuring talk-show host Glenn Beck, and Beaufort, where he will offer his testimony a day after Saturday’s GOP debate in Greenville.

Exit polls showed that in the Democratic primary, 74-year-old socialist Sanders beat Hillary Clinton in every demographic group except voters older than 65, nonwhites and those with family incomes over $200,000. He’ll need a strong debate performance to pull him through to the early-March primaries, when Midwestern states like MI will vote.

But after a disappointing fifth-place finish in New Hampshire, a long delegate slog to the party’s July presidential nominating convention may be the only chance Rubio has left.

“Believe me if you vote for Trump, and again I don’t want your money, I want your vote”, the real estate mogul said, predicting a win here would eliminate his competition for the GOP nomination.

Still, for those of us who dismissed Sanders as a summer fling – that might have been me – it’s now the dead of winter, Clinton may be shaking up her campaign, and by March 15, there will have been something like 30 more states in play.
