Pretty Please Clap For Jeb Bush
But in spite of my most flawed interview techniques, I was getting an interesting answer. “Ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the United States, Jeb Bush”, she said.
Asked if she had anything more to say about Trump, Barbara Bush said she didn’t want him on her mind. “I’m sick of him”.
Bush has allotted about $4.5 million to spend on advertising in New Hampshire, The Washington Post reported.
“Oh, I’m continuing on”, he said, according to the Times.
“Just wonderful to be here”, she said with her gentle but ever authoritative voice. Trump will come out, Cruz will come out, Rubio will come out, probably Bush, and then maybe one or two others.
The 90-year-old matriarch of the Bush family, wife of a former president and mother of another, walked out with her towering son (and a walker emblazoned with a Jeb! sticker) at a town hall as the larger-than-normal audience buzzed with a rally-like energy.
Bush also took swipes at Florida Sen.
Bush said it wasn’t true, but said he was glad he wasn’t in a war of words with Christie.
Christie says, “if you reward those folks who don’t show up here there is no reason for New Hampshire to be first”.
Ernie Bencivenga, 56, Mary’s husband and an electrical engineer from Hookset, said Trump, Ted Cruz, and their supporters have labeled Bush “as part of the establishment, and that’s what people are revolting against”.
Theresa Mungiloi, chairwoman of the Oakland County Republican Party, participated in the call and said Jeb Bush would be the keynote speaker at the party’s March 7 Lincoln Day dinner in Troy – one day before Michigan’s primary.
The burden falls so heavily on Bush because of Republican anxieties about the top two finishers in Iowa, Cruz and Trump: Many party leaders fear that the nomination of Trump or Cruz would lead to an electoral rout this fall.
“It’s a combination of a lot of things”, McKinnon said, “but we’re at a point in this country where people just want something really different, and they’re rejecting anything that they’ve seen”. Dubya’s numbers aren’t likely to reverse Jeb’s fortunes but, whatever the left says, he won’t destroy them either. And coincidentally-or not-this dig was a harsh assault on the brother of his mentor-turned-rival Jeb Bush. Such a bad showing will nearly certainly lead to demands from campaign contributors that he end his pointless political campaign so their money can go to a more deserving and viable GOP candidate.
But, as Rubio criss-crossed New Hampshire, holding back-to-back town halls, he seemed reluctant to fight back.
“I hope you will take the chance to give Jeb some momentum because we need it”. And they are sticking with him now, even as the odds for his flagging campaign grow longer.
“Almost all of these candidates have never lost an election”.
