Acknowledging the expectations are higher on him running as the 3rd Bush to become president of the United States, Jeb stressed, “If you can’t get through the primary the right way, how are you going to be dealing with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin?”

The long fight between Jeb Bush and Donald Trump reached a new level of personal after the real estate mogul called out his opponent for relying on his “mommy” to gain support.
As former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush mounts his awesome comeback run for the Republican nomination, neutral observers may be given cause to wonder, “Isn’t this an odd turn of events for a member of a famously gifted political family?”
“I think it’s really great that in America, you want to be commander in chief, you want to be the most important political figure in the world, you’ve got to start by renting a vehicle and driving to town halls and meeting with 30 and 40 people at a time”, Rubio told the crowd in a dimly lit hotel ballroom south of Nashua’s downtown. She describes her son, the former Florida governor, as a “wonderful” son whose “heart is big”. “Does she love him?”.
“There are other people out there that are very qualified and we’ve had enough Bushes”, she said on NBC television. “I did not ask to join a famous family”, she said, according to the Post.
Jeb Bush has taken the role of “Anti-Trump”, in the GOP race so far, referring to Donald as a “large personality” on stage.
Republican presidential hopeful, Senator Marco Rubio on Friday entered the Donald Trump-Ted Cruz fight over the “establishment”, by slamming the billionaire businessman as someone who isn’t a “movement conservative” and calling the Texas senator “incredibly calculated”. “You have a chance to reshape this whole primary”, Bush told hundreds of voters at a state Republican Party presidential candidate forum.
“Everyone looked at her as this kind of lovely, matronly kind of figure, and we all know that in fact inside the White House she was as mean and tough as anyone”, he said.
Whoever comes out on top among Rubio, Kasich, Christie and Bush will argue he’s the party’s best long-term bet against Trump and Cruz.
He said Rubio and Cruz have only staked out stronger positions in the wake of ISIS attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California. That’s not the campaign I’m running.
The state has just 1.3 million people-among the smallest in the nation, and about half the size of Miami-Dade County, home to Bush and fellow presidential contender Sen.
“I’m sure my brother is going to be campaigning by my side”, Bush said in New Hampshire on Thursday. This cognitive dissonance could only be made possible by years of self-delusion among Republican consultants and opinion-makers about the GOP base’s sentiment toward the George W. Bush foreign policy legacy.

In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union”, Bush hit the two for opposing President Barack Obama’s request for authorization to use military force after Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was accused of using chemical weapons against his own people. “I know when I meet her, I’ll stop worrying”.
