Bush, who has been combating what some call “Bush fatigue”, said he was proud of his father (“the greatest man alive”) and his brother, both of whom served as president.
White House hopefuls Donald Trump and Jeb Bush opened political hostilities on Monday as Republican and Democratic candidates stormed across New Hampshire in a final flurry of events before the state’s crucial first-in-the-nation primary.
Schickler also says the GOP establishment will be watching closely who has a good showing in the Granite State. “She said he’s a ‘p–,'” Trump said.
But, on Monday night, Trump became the first presidential candidate in recent memory to use an epithet for female anatomy to describe a Republican rival on stage at a rally.
Cruz, a US Senator from Texas, is not expected to fare as well in New Hampshire as in Iowa, where he drew support from a large bloc of socially conservative evangelicals. Mr Rubio’s surge into third place in Iowa a week ago raised the prospect that voters in New Hampshire would anoint him over Mr Bush, New Jersey governor Chris Christie and OH governor John Kasich.
“Trump will under-achieve, Rubio will under-achieve, Cruz will under-achieve”, Kaufman predicted as he spoke to The Hill by telephone Monday while knocking on doors in the state to drum up support. In that same 2008 contest, a late, wide swing on the Democratic side that went undetected by almost all public pollsters in the state prompted the polling industry to investigate what went wrong.
Rubio insisted his repetitions were part of his plan.
“I think bad things happen when enhanced interrogation is employed at lower levels”, Cruz said.
Rubio has tried to turn the episode, which is still sending shockwaves through the campaign two days later, into an attack on journalists he claimed were desperate to halt his momentum and keen to defend the President – and defiantly rolled out exactly the same line he deployed in the debate. Kasich gained one point…While Bush held steady.
Fifth-place Jeb Bush has double the support Christie has.
All of the votes from the New Hampshire primary have yet to be tallied and the governor hasn’t addressed supporters at his Nashua campaign headquarters. In the Iowa caucuses, which kicked off the presidential election process, Cruz won the Republican race, while Clinton defeated Sanders by a very narrow margin.
“At the end of the day, New Hampshire voters are among the most serious voters in the country, if not the most serious”.
Clinton was shouldering renewed troubles amid talk of a possible campaign reshuffling.
“The fact that Hillary Clinton is struggling in New Hampshire is one of the big surprises of this election campaign”.
The former first lady insisted it was all overblown. But he also took aim at his fellow governors as they battle for numerous same voters in an effort to remain relevant beyond Tuesday.

An upset against Trump could be detrimental to his campaign. Adding further fuel to the fracas was former President Bill Clinton, who earlier accused Sanders supporters of waging profane and sexist attacks on his wife on the Internet.
