Bush Super PACs Outspent All Iowa Campaigns, Garnered Sixth-Place Finish

Bush is banking on voters in New Hampshire to lift his struggling campaign.

Graham, who supports Bush, also said the GOP candidate must “tie Rubio or beat him” in New Hampshire.

Bush came in with just 2.8 percent of the vote in Iowa, leaving him with zero delegates. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton will campaign together at Nashua Community College in the morning before both have separate events later in the day.

The Democratic primary also holds dramatic potential.

“I hope you want someone who has a reformer’s heart, and who has a backbone and actually has the skills to change the culture in Washington”, Bush said. “If my mom did negotiate with ISIS, it would be a pretty tough negotiation – far better than anything he could do, but you don’t negotiate with terrorists – You take them out”.

The former Florida governor netted just 3 percent of the vote in the Iowa caucus last night.

Kasich says Clinton would be a “strong candidate” in the fall election and Republican “better have somebody that can unite”. “Afterward, many voters said they liked Bush, as well as Trump”. He garnered more than 50,000 votes – fewer than the total population of one Iowa state senate district, but enough to win the Republican presidential caucus.

But the beleaguered candidate himself seems determined to keep his campaign marching, regardless of how he performs in the Granite State primary, where current polls show him only one point behind Rubio – for ownership of fourth place. With Monday’s finish, Trump may be forced to become more of a traditional candidate and start spending heavily on television ads. “After eight years of anemic growth and declining worldwide relevance, America needs a president that can re-energize our nation and recapture our greatness – Jeb Bush is that man. I look forward to working closely with the governor and his team as they chart a course to the White House”. Rick Santorum finished second to last. “I will not be a divider-in-chief or an agitator-in-chief”, he said.

Bush said one of the first things he would do as President would be to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs, so that veterans get the medical care they need and deserve.

The open letter to New Hampshire voters ran in the New Hampshire Union Leader on Wednesday. “We must at the end of this process bring this party and this movement together”.

For Sanders, who has vowed not to take money from Super PACs, fielding a presidential campaign in a state the size of Florida will be a challenge.
