Pro-Jeb Bush super PAC takes on Donald Trump and ‘the shows’

Christie had just 5 percent support in the Granite State last month, CBS noted. “That wouldn’t be one of those things that naturally comes to him”, Bush said.

On Saturday morning, Bush made an explicit plea to the voters here, asking them for their vote, and for their active involvement in his campaign.

In an article discussing whether Trump’s primary lead is overestimated as some political pundits and rivals contend or underestimated, The New Yorker noted that the bombastic businessman who was himself a former Democrat and Independent appeals to an electorate outside of the traditional GOP base. If he were president, it would just be more of the same.

Given that remark came with a repetition of Bush’s assertion from this week’s Republican debate in Las Vegas that Trump can not “insult his way to the presidency”, reaction was widespread and amused. And full disclosure: “His full name is Jeborah”, said Trump, played by Darrell Hammond.

“Yeah, none of us are, genius”, Trump said.

Ted Cruz’s supporters are a little less firmly decided, and more say they “probably won’t change”, as opposed to being decided.

Bush’s jabs come the same day that the super PAC supporting his White House bid, Right to Rise, released a new TV ad hitting Trump.

Earlier this fall, Carson had pulled into a tie for the lead with Trump, but has since faded. He’s still up about two-to-one over his nearest competitor. “The question is, will New Hampshire want to support a guy who might tarnish this extraordinary status that you have”. Marco Rubio to carry the party’s establishment mantle. Bush is competing with Kasich, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Florida Sen.

Rubio, meanwhile, fared best among the candidates surveyed in the poll.

And as with Tuesday’s actual debate, the sketch returned to Bush and Trump’s budding feud of the nature and tenure of the Republican race. He has fallen to fifth place (or lower) among Republican voters, according to the Real Clear Politics national polling average. Republicans favor the idea of banning Muslims – 77 percent in Iowa – including evangelical voters who also favor it in the same large numbers – 75 percent.

“I find it remarkable that we have candidates basically saying the end is near, that our country no longer is great: don’t worry I’ll fix it cause we’ll make America great again without any plans”, Bush said invoking Trump’s campaign slogan.

Last Saturday, Mr Bush planned a packed schedule of four townhall-style meetings, meant to show his stamina and resolve.
