Super PAC backing Bush touts “disrupter”

“He has a good-sized Iowa staff that’s out there working”, said Robinson, but he’s going to have to slug it out with a few experienced organizers and campaigners.

Bush is on a long list of Republicans seeking the GOP nomination, and so far it is outsiders who have polled the best, including in Iowa.

In the 2012 presidential election, Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee, made an eerily similar remark at a Montana fundraiser.

An autographed copy of Wisconson Gov. Scott Walker’s book Unintimidated had exactly zero bids.

“They don’t care who the speaker is going to be”.

Muscatine retiree and event attendee Robert Bolton appreciated hearing more about Bush’s gubernatorial record in Florida, and said he did prefer the background and experiences that governors and non-politicians might bring to the presidency.

“He can’t walk, and has a neck brace on when you see him on TV-because I know he’ll be at the ‘Stros game-because he fell and fractured his vertebrae”, Bush continued. In fact, his lead has only grown as time progressed. “The lack of appeal that he’s had”. By the scoreboard of statistics-driven news website FiveThirtyEight, he trails not only Bush but six other candidates as well. He hopes that conservative craziness prevails in Iowa, and the GOP runs to New Hampshire with its hair on fire, to rally around a serious alternative to Carson, Trump, or God forbid, Cruz.

Lingering ambivalence about the Bush name could compound unusually strong anti-establishment sentiment among voters to make the going more hard for Jeb Bush, analysts said.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, it is – as we said, it’s a phenomenon. Many are signaling their disgust with Washington politics by supporting the nerdy neurosurgeon Carson, and caustic former CEO Carly Fiorina. “We like [Ohio Gov. John] Kasich”. “Rubio when they ran for office in the Sunshine State, are deserting the establishment candidates for the outsiders, specifically Trump and Carson”, Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac Poll, said in a prepared statement that accompanied Wednesday’s results. “That was huge. That was a big first step”. He’s just another voice in the crowd now. When I heard Trump speak, I thought, this is somebody that can be a leader and change the Republican Party.

Candidates, particularly Republicans, often “evolve” on issues, she said, so criticism of Clinton is unfair. He is at ease in these more casual settings, with an audience no larger than 75. But he still has a healthy lead, with his slide halted or even reversed, and continues to enjoy – astonishingly – more than double the support of any Republican candidate who has held elective office.

It was asked how Bush planned to address the national debt, to which he said he would start a reform, grow the economy, embrace the energy revolution, and challenge government programs spending.

“The reason I like Trump and the reason I support him, it’s pretty simplistic”, Anthony said. This man without a doubt has it in his DNA to work in Washington. Almost 60% of Iowa voters see the former President as an asset to his brother.

Bush’s latest failure came last week when he continued a longtime Republican tradition of trying to portray African Americans as addicted to welfare and government handouts. They should go to the committee hearings. He added, “I want to show that I have a servant’s heart”. I’ve got to say who I am. And to demonstrate to people who he is and what he did as a governor.

He has to do something … and that “something” is to trot out his brother, who occupied the White House from 2001-2009.
