However, Trump is the front-runner in the race to choose who will run as Republican candidate for president in 2016, with the latest polls showing him on 39% – more than 10 times more than Bush’s waning share. But his confidence in Jeb Bush had slipped.

The Mystery Is Over: Billionaire Adelson Owns Las Vegas Paper

This item has been corrected to show that police say the 17-year-old who was arrested is a sophomore, not a senior. Los Angeles, which has the nation’s second-largest school districts, closed Tuesday after receiving the threat.
Bush believes that a big part of winning here will be to take some of the air out of the Trump balloon.
He went further in a post-debate interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo, telling the host that he was “not going to be doing a third party – no matter what”. The Republican and Democrat candidates will be selected in July, with the presidential elections taking place on 8 November.
“If Jeb now declared that he could no longer in good conscience keep that pledge with respect to Trump, which would be a nutty thing to do for all sorts of reasons, he’d be effectively disqualified in a bunch of states and his candidacy would be completely dead instead of mostly dead as it is now.”
On Saturday, Trump began his appearance in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with a swipe at Bush’s performance at the debate earlier in the week.
“It was so sad to watch him (at Tuesday’s debate)”, he said. “It will push the Arab world away when we need them to engage”.

Jeb then redirected that comment back to Trump, accusing him of not being tough enough for the job. “You’re never going to be president of the United States by insulting your way to the presidency”.
Donald Trump on Sunday had his harshest words yet for Jeb Bush, calling the former Florida governor “an embarrassment to himself and his family”.
Bush is attempting to regain some support among Republican primary voters by painting himself as a more “serious” candidate and sparring directly with Trump, putting foreign policy and national security front-and-center in his bid for the presidency.
