Presidential Candidates get Early Start Campaigning in South Carolina Wednesday
Trump’s appearance came six hours before former President George W. Bush’s 2016 campaign debut for his brother, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, in North Charleston.
On the diversity of his campaign: “I got the endorsement of a governor of Indian descent, who endorsed a presidential candidate of Cuban descent, and tomorrow we’ll be campaigning alongside an African-American Republican senator”.
Earlier this week, an outside group backing Jeb Bush began airing an ad in this miitary-minded state – home to to Fort Jackson and Parris Island, massive training installations for the Army and Marine Corps, as well as a number of air bases and a naval training school for nuclear submarine officers – aiming to use Kasich’s own words against him. Bush finished in sixth place in the Iowa caucuses and in fourth place in the New Hampshire primary – the first contests in the state-by-state battles to pick a party nominee for the November 8 presidential election. The billionaire businessman also called on the Republican National Committee to “intervene” in the matter.
“I like to win”, Carson said. ‘We need someone that can fix the problems that cause our anger and frustration, and that’s Jeb Bush’. A new Bloomberg poll of SC, which is holding its primary next week, had Trump with more than double the support of Cruz, 36 to 17 percent, in the state. Other legislators backing Bush include House Majority Leader Bruce Bannister, Sen. He layered each validation of his younger brother with an implicit critique of Trump. We can make mistakes. On Friday, he is scheduled to campaign with his mother, former first lady Barbara Bush, in northern parts of the state.
Hillary Clinton was criticized after laughing off an audience member’s suggestion last fall that someone strangle Republican Carly Fiorina.
Trump: “Absolutely, for the war, for the war”. Trump has also repeatedly reminded voters that the September 11, 2001, terror attacks happened on Bush’s watch.
“Cruz says I am pro-choice, when in fact I am staunchly pro-life and have been for a long time”.
Carson also talked about his hobbies, saying he loves to shoot pool – particularly with his wife, who can beat him. “Because then they’d say, ‘Oh, what’s he saying?’ And they would shut up”.
It was a reminder of how much the Republican Party has changed since he was president.
Debbie Ramsey, a retired federal government employee from Summerville, said she was “disappointed” by the abundant name-calling among the GOP candidates. Multiple hurricanes hit Florida when I was president and he was governor.
Haley’s endorsement was considered the most coveted among SC politicians.
Pete and Tisha Petersen were among the Bush family fans who attended Monday’s rally.
“I don’t think the American people want a court that will mandate unlimited abortions on demand, partial-birth abortion with taxpayer funding and no parental notification, and I don’t think the American people want a court that will write the Second Amendment out of the Constitution”. He said again Wednesday he would “absolutely” allow waterboarding, which simulates the feeling of drowning.
Waterboarding was practiced until late in the George W. Bush administration but was disavowed by President Barack Obama. “It’s better than exclamation points”, a reference to Bush’s campaign logo.
