Will New Hampshire be the last stand for Jeb Bush?

Bush has now fully embraced his family name in an attempt to rescue his chances — after spending the past year struggling with how to talk about and appear with his relatives. His brother George W. Bush is preparing to play a bigger role. His wife and grown sons joined him here on the campaign trail in recent days, as did his mother, former first lady Barbara Bush.​
 
GOP wants end to pro-Bush attacks on Rubio

Rubio is seen as a potent possible matchup against Hillary Clinton because he is expected to attract votes from Hispanics and millennials, two crucial voting blocs. A recent UMass-Lowell poll showed that only 13 percent of primary voters in New Hampshire between the ages of 18 and 29 plan to vote for Clinton.​
 
After Rubio stumbles, rivals see opening in New Hampshire

At the heart of the battle between Rubio and Chris Christie, John Kasich and Jeb Bush is whether the freshman Florida senator has the experience and policy depth to serve as president - or whether he's simply a well-spoken lightweight. Christie unleashed withering attacks against Rubio in Saturday's debate, and the New Jersey governor tripped up Rubio by calling him out in real-time for his reliance on rehearsed talking points.​

...perhaps I overestimated his capabilities.
 
Donald Trump always talks about winning. Now, can he do it?

For nearly eight months, Donald Trump has talked winning. If he is president, the country will finally win on trade, on health care, on education, on jobs and against terrorists. Under his leadership, Trump likes to say, there will be so much winning that some Americans will beg him to stop winning so much.

And that’s why it’s crucial for Trump to triumph in the New Hampshire Republican primary Tuesday, proving to both supporters and critics that his second-place finish in the Iowa caucuses last week was just a fluke.​
 
Marco Rubio has another repeat glitch in New Hampshire

Appearing in Nashua at his final campaign rally before Tuesday's Republican presidential primary, the Florida senator made a point that he often makes on the campaign trail about instilling values in children. Then, he made it again, using nearly identical words. This came just two days after Rubio took heavy criticism for repeating himself in a televised debate. He appeared to realize that he was repeating himself toward the end of his Monday remark.​
 
Here's a breakdown of candidate spending in the New Hampshire primaries:

Candidate Spent
Bush $36.1m
Christie $18.5m
Rubio $15.2m
Kasich $12.1m
Clinton $10.8m
Sanders $8.1m
Trump $3.7m
Graham $3.2m
Fiorina $1.8m
Paul $831k
Cruz $580k
Carson $575k
Pataki $374k

Total $111.9m

Cruz arguably got the most bang for his buck, followed by Trump, on a cost per vote basis. Rubio and Christie really had a bad night compared to their investment. Christie Kreme is expected to drop out. Marcomentum is probably over after Super Tuesday. Bush probably gets a bit of a bump out of this, but he had to spend way too much for it. Ultimately he won't be nominated. Kasich's ticket ends at the border of New Hampshire.
 
It'd be nice if it did, but I'm not sure if this avenue leads anywhere these days:

Heidi Cruz: Ted Shows America 'The Face Of The God That We Serve'

Heidi Cruz said Wednesday that her husband, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), was showing America "the face of the God that we serve" through his faith-based Republican presidential campaign.

Cruz said in an interview with South Carolina radio host Vince Coakley that she would support her husband's campaign even if she weren't married to him because of his religious values.

"We are at a cultural crossroads in our country, and if we can be in this race to show this country the face of the God that we serve—this Christian God that we serve is the foundation of our country," she said. "Our country was built on Judeo-Christian values. We are a nation of freedom of religion, but the God of Christianity is the God of freedom, of individual liberty, of choice and of consequence."​
 
Unprecedented Republican Obstructionism. That is the reason for all of today's enormous problems. That's what I learned from trying to watch the Dem debate this evening.

If either of those two claptraps get elected, we'll actually miss the Obama days.
