Jeb Bush Gains Some Steam After New Hampshire
Wall Street Journal ^ | 2/10/16 | BETH REINHARD

Posted on 02/10/2016 5:39:19 AM PST by jimbo123

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's virtual tie for third place in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday is the moment he has been waiting for to revive a struggling campaign.

Campaign advisers said he needed to exceed expectations and beat his home-state rival, Sen. Marco Rubio, and after months of slumping poll numbers, he did. Mr. Rubio was in fifth place, roughly a point behind Mr. Bush and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Mr. Bush now heads to South Carolina with some wind at his back, a political organization on the ground and some potentially powerful surrogates on hand.

"This campaign is not dead-we're going on to South Carolina," Mr. Bush told supporters in New Hampshire.

With a headquarters in Columbia and three field offices across the state, his campaign says it has already contacted more than 500,000 voters and knocked on more than 50,000 doors.

The super PAC backing his campaign, Right to Rise USA, has spent $10 million in the state and is currently airing two ads.

He is not tied for third. He finished over 500 votes behind Cruz in 4th place. Hell, Rubio damn near passed him at 5th place.

Sadly, I still think Yeb will end up being the GOP nominee. They'll do whatever they need to do to defeat the 'outsiders' (Trump and Cruz), and the remaining 'insiders' (Rubio, Kasich, Christie) will jump on board with Jeb.

The establishment 'powers-that-be' will see to it, because they really want Hildabeast, and Jeb is the only potential GOP nominee that is GUARANTEED to lose to the 'Rat.

I was more thinking the plague dead cart, myself.

“Do us a favor, eh?” (politically, of course)
