Jeb Bush to campaign in Ocala Monday
Trump’s campaign is trolling Bush, however, by way of things like a Jeb Web (hey, that rhymed) domain – jebbush.com – that redirects to Trump’s Web site.
Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is canceling reserved advertising time in Iowa and SC, the latest reminder of his struggles to connect with voters – and a sign of possible fundraising troubles. After almost two full terms under Obama, and still uncertain how to reconcile the foreign policy legacy of former president George W. Bush, large blocs of the Republican Party are at odds over what its philosophy should be. Super PAC claims the former Florida governor led the effort to block a key provision in Obamacare.
Despite allegations by many Republicans that Trump is not a serious candidate who would have no chance in the general election, Trump is now in a dead heat with Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton in recent polls.
His claim has provoked a lively online debate.
He said he hoped that voters had “a long enough arm” – “Or I will take over”. And in my case, you know – look, I’m a Conservative, but I believe that conservativism needs to be applied in a hopeful, optimistic way.
Meanwhile, Right to Rise USA also launched a spot in New Hampshire contending that the gubernatorial records of Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich do not stack up against that of Bush. “That’s the point”, Bush said. When you go home for the holidays, the message said, make sure to pack gloves and warm clothes. “But candidates, I think, as we get down the stretch here, some of them get a little desperate and a little nasty in their attacks, and that’s fine”. But it’s uncertain how much Trump supporters are listening.
We mock Bush the Lesser here a lot because, well, he continues to be so exceedingly mockworthy.
One question from the audience centered on the Affordable Care Act, to which he said that he would work to appeal Obamacare and replace it with a non-mandatory state exchange.
BUSH: Yeah, happy New Year. “Run country my way!”, he said, while on his feed, Bush was talking up an op ed about new threats to USA security and a Fox News appearance, as well as promoting relations with Israel.
According to the Politico, Bush said his plans for combating ISIL would be starkly different from Obama’s, which he described as “incremental” earlier in the month.
