No One Cares About Poor Jeb Bush — Politico’s Mike Allen
And he can’t help but be annoyed when the little pyromaniac rubs it in.
If Bush wants a better term for children born here to undocumented parents, how about calling them what they are? Whoever emerges might well end up with the most delegates at the convention, even without a clear majority, and since he’d be the choice of the region that represents the party’s base, he’d have an extra claim for why he should be the nominee. They want a fireball. And the battle between Trump and Jeb Bush heating up.
As the conference began, roughly 3,000 union members and other Democratic constituencies rallied at a Columbus park against what they characterized as the Koch Brothers’ free-market influence on Ohio politics and the Republican Party. “I’ve got my own record”. They are American citizens. “And it’s a long haul, man”. “You have Iowa’s caucus on February 1st, New Hampshire on the 9th, and South Carolina on the 27th”. But for now, Trump seems to be holding the cards.
Gregg said he also believes the best approach for Bush and others in the field is to not engage Trump, but rather to be more like him.
The former Florida governor said that, over the years, Trump has advocated higher taxes, abortion rights and a single-payer health care system.
Clinton shot back this Twitter response to Bush’s request. Did you know Trump proposed the biggest tax increase in American history? It’s more personal: Bush is boring.
Bush and George H.W. Bush will headline a donor event for the younger Bush’s White House bid on October 25 and 26, a campaign official confirmed Friday.
The 14th amendment to the constitution grants everyone born in the US the right of citizenship. “I don’t”, he said.
“Jeb Bush signed memo saying not to use the term ‘anchor babies, ‘ offensive”. “If Trump starts doing TV spots, he’d be a huge problem”, says the fund-raiser. Sorry Jeb, but absolutely no good is served by using the term “anchor babies“. This is made especially hard when those voters have several appealing options to choose from. Meanwhile, Ohio Gov. John Kasich is only one point behind Bush, and coming up fast.
“I’m not enthused about Jeb”. Make no mistake about it immigration without assimilation – that’s not immigration. “And I don’t think he’s forceful enough. But now we need leadership”, Bush said.
Bush said he’s confident he will win in New Hampshire and earn the nomination.
If people could see him in person, as she did, they could change their minds, Botnick added. Trump mocked Bush for going “down like a rock” in early polls in the state and failing to excite his supporters. People are very angry about how Washington’s not working.
He insisted his father has not adopted use of the term anchor babies, and that when he used it in a radio interview, he was referring to it as one commonly used. The New York Times also referred to the term as “offensive”.
Polly Gagnon, a retired bank secretary, said she preferred Rick Santorum and Scott Walker. “He’s so much better in real life than he is on a television screen”. And yet it’s Trump who has captured the moment and seized the media spotlight. “You know what? Give me a different term”. Or Ted Cruz. I mean, I think we’re getting a little overboard here.
Other candidates are trying to creep up as well. “There’s a divide there”.
Bush went on to attack Trump over his hard-line immigration proposal, arguing it was not just “vitriolic” but would have a massive price tag.
