Marco Rubio is trying to play up his foreign policy credentials by ripping into some of his Republican rivals.
“Chris Christie could well be Obama’s favorite Republican governor. Why?”
“This is the difference between a senator and an executive”, she said.
“Well, dude, show up to work and vote no, right?”
Bush went on to say that Christie is a “great guy”, has a “great style” and a “great personality”, but insisted that he has more experience in business and in the private sector, in addition to serving as eight years as Florida’s governor.
Christie was dismissive of the critiques, as he has been in the past. So I’m sure he doesn’t really want to have a conversation about the issues because the truth is our next president has to be someone who’s going to overturn all the damage Barack Obama has done to America, not continue it.
“When I am president, we are not going to violate the civil liberties of Americans, but we are going to capture as many terrorists as possible”, Rubio said. And so, I told them the truth and if they’re a little miffed about it now, I completely understand that.
The Democratic presidential candidate, in Davenport Monday, said that Republicans are “willing to turn their back on 19 million Americans” who have benefited from the law.
Just two months ago, the New York Times editorial page urged him to drop out, saying New Jersey was in trouble and “the governor is off pursuing a presidential run that’s turned out to be nothing more than a vanity project”.
But that has faced tighter scrutiny.
Correct the Record, a group defending Clinton as she aims for the White House, came out swinging on Tuesday after the ad was unveiled.
“I’ve always said we need to do well here”, Christie told reporters.
On a recent afternoon, about a dozen Bush staff and volunteers gathered in a brightly lit campaign office in a strip mall near Des Moines where they spent hours calling potential supporters, logging commitment levels to Bush in an online database and writing follow-up notes.
“We must reject federal control of our education and return it to parents and teachers”, Christie said a year ago. But as you can hear, this is a very, very dark picture they’re painting of the state of the world. Each hopes a surprisingly strong showing in Iowa will give him a boost heading into the New Hampshire primary, where the political landscape is more favorable to more traditional candidates.
Ben Carson is also in the Hawkeye State with three town hall meetings. In those last six elections, only one Northeast state has backed a Republican for president: New Hampshire, in 2000.
Rubio, rather than criticizing Trump, acknowledged how his chief opponent has so successfully channelled anger among voters to top a crowded field, which has fallen from 17 to 13 candidates.

Christie appears to be enjoying the role of target in New Hampshire after his campaign was all but written off several months ago due to polling in the low single digits and getting relegated to the undercard in a nationally televised debate.
