A young voter at a Bush town hall meeting drew the Republican candidate out on the subject when he voiced his own belief that his life was not divinely inspired. Texas Senator Cruz is criticized in the ad for voting in the Senate against a bill that limits the government’s ability to collect and monitor Americans’ cell phone data.
“I’m certainly one of those mainstream Republicans who’s deeply concerned about Donald Trump”, said Fergus Cullen, a former chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party.
Bush himself took issue Sunday with a portion of Fernandez’s ad comparing Trump to some of history’s most notorious dictators, including Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
On Wednesday, Trump released a Instagram video that spliced together George Stephanopoulos’ recent interview with the former Florida governor, in which Bush acknowledged Trump’s skills as a politician.
It’s a situation that few predicted earlier this year, when Bush spent almost six months helping stockpile the super PAC with huge checks before officially declaring his presidential bid.
The former Florida governor spoke on immigration and the need to defeat ISIS along with the importance of candidates having a strategy to defeat them. Instead of his usual crowd of sexagenarians, the 62-year-old Republican presidential candidate was surrounded by millennials, a group mostly under 30, at a campaign event. And the deluge of gauzy spots touting Bush’s conservative record has not eliminated deep skepticism in the Republican base about his establishment ties and family name, party operatives said.
“I could either accept that as a traumatic experience and go get therapy and live a miserable life, or I could accept being half the man my dad was or is and still live a life of goal and meaning”.
Asked how he’s holding up to the grueling demands of the campaign trail, Bush said he gets “energy from working” but that he misses his wife – and his bed – back in Miami.
“What we’re paying for media buying is lowest that I’ve ever seen”, Spies said.
“If you have time between bankruptcy filings and editing reality show contracts, we urge you to flip through the Supreme Court’s decision in New York Times v. Sullivan“, he wrote. “I don’t know if sand can glow in the dark, but we’re going to find out”.
The full-color ad started comparing a rather eloquent quote from Abraham Lincoln next to Trump declaring, “I mean, part of the beauty of me is that I’m very rich”.

I used to feel bad for Jeb because he was so overmatched in his war of words with Trump, but Trump doesn’t bother much with him now that he’s faded in the polls.
