Jeb Bush Is Sorry For Insulting The French For Their Work Week

“A candidate running for president that has a chance to be president will be thoroughly vetted”, he said. The downside is that every other trailing candidate looks at the polls and thinks the same thing: Just a few more percentage points, and I’m in contention!

HEILEMANN: Endorsements are now going towards Rubio and away from Bush. In Tuesday’s interview, he had no qualms pointing out repeatedly that the first-term senator from Florida has neglected his job in Congress since launching his White House campaign. He said that the nation can again have an approach to politics where people who disagree can work together to build consensus. “Period. Over and out”, Bush told Gangel. Not only the attack backfired on Bush, he has now been forced to apologize for taking a jab at french workers during his lackluster effort to describe Rubio as lazy. “That’s what I did”.

The e-book covers his two terms as governor, 1999-2007, when he carried a Blackberry at all times, spending 25 to 30 hours a week emailing and responding to a diverse range of people through his public and personal email account. I mean, come on. “I know I can get better”.

“What are you going to do about it?” she asked.

“That people ought to show up and work?”

NORAH O’DONNELL: What’s with the attacks on Marco Rubio?

Republican Jeb Bush is charging back into early-voting states with a can-do message aimed at winning over primary voters and reassuring anxious donors. Marco Rubio, who has been credited with steady debate performances and attracts similar segments of the GOP as Bush. His plan is to do what other candidates do: Say what they want to instead of actually answering the question that is posed to them.

Florida Republican strategist Rick Wilson believes that Bush is making a big mistake in targeting Rubio.

“A president can’t say ‘You’re fired, ‘ and go to commercial break”, Bush told more than 100 people at a senior center in Raymond, New Hampshire, Tuesday night.

I’m not sure what’s worse, the French work ethic or the Congressional one.

We wondered, does the middle class really stand to benefit the most from Bush’s proposed tax cuts? The campaign necessarily shifted into emergency panic mode, with reporters asking if Jeb was going to drop out and the pundit class generally agreeing that he was toast.

In a close third and fourth place are senators Rubio and Cruz from Florida and Texas, respectively. But as he pounded across New Hampshire this week, Bush was working even harder at something beyond a zestier stage presence. The much-touted “Jeb Can Fix It” tour covered 10 stops and more than 300 miles and included meeting with roughly 1,000 voters.

Like most of his rivals, Bush has suffered this cycle from the overwhelming dominance of Trump. The NY real estate mogul has topped the national polls for months, only recently falling behind Carson.

By all accounts, former Gov. Jeb Bush is surrounded by any number of apparatchiks, apologists, enablers, factotums and sherpas dedicated to advancing his waning political ambitions.

The former Florida governor, who once Twitter-sparred with Donald Trump, avoided saying the bombastic recent frontrunner’s name.
