Jeb: 'I Should Stop Campaigning Maybe'

On Wednesday, MSNBC showed a clip of Jeb Bush at a campaign event. The former Republican frontrunner appeared frustrated.

"It's all decided, I mean we don't have to go vote I guess, it's all finished. I should stop campaigning maybe, huh? Let's just—it's all done! That's not how democracy works, right?"​
 
Trump: Cruz has no supporters in Senate and his filibuster did nothing

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday mocked rival Ted Cruz for having no endorsements from fellow senators.

“You look at a guy like Ted Cruz, he’s a nasty guy. He doesn’t have one Republican endorsement from the Senate and he works with the Senate,” Trump said at MSNBC’s town hall in South Carolina. “Not one senator has endorsed him, and he’s a senator.”​
 
This could be Jeb Bush's last stand

It doesn’t look likely that Bush will do any better here than he did in the New Hampshire, with polls suggesting he’s barely cracking double digits and is more likely than not to finish behind Rubio for fourth place even though his super-PAC has dropped $13 million on ads — almost as much as the other candidates and their super-PACs combined.​
 
Oil industry bet big on Jeb Bush for president, Reuters review shows. Now what?

U.S. oil and gas executives bet big on 2016 Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush - they donated more to his White House run than to all of his rivals combined, according to a Reuters review of campaign disclosures.

But that was last year.

Now Bush faces what party strategists and donors view as a make or break moment on Saturday in South Carolina's Republican primary, or early nominating contest. Polls show him trailing in the single digits. If he fails to do well, there will be pressure on him to quit, strategists say, and the oil money will be looking for a new home.​

... I'm guessing Rubio, he's the most like Bush.

It's absolutely against the 1st Amendment to target an entire religion with your policy making.

I'd sooner risk physical danger than risk the country losing its constitutional principles.

Islam is not an religion, it's an ideology. (Comparable to the Nazi regime back then). Even Hitler wanted muslim warriors, because they hate Jews and Christians for that matter as much as he did. Islam was founded by a person that married a 6 year old and raped her at age of 9 when he was already in his late 30s/early 40s. He raped multiple women that he took from the people who didn't wanted to convert to his newly founded ideology. He fought wars and killed and let kill. The Quran even says to "Kill everyone that is not muslim and fight until the whole world believes in Allah".... not compatible with a free living, democratic western society if you ask me. Europe is being mass raped at the moment. Trust me, I am in Germany right now and things are getting worse by the day.

Tolerance for intolerance is not doing any good to anyone, remember that.

Constitutional principles have been long undermined through political correctness (amputated freedom of speech) and the lying left wing politicians. There is so much going on in the background that it is hard to address it in one post.

Er...ok then, not sure why you are sharing your idea about Muslims... Its completely off topic for this GOP Thread... If this is something you'd like to discuss... feel free to start a new thread.

Just so you know i've read it,

ideology
ˌʌɪdɪˈɒlədʒi,ɪd-/
noun
noun: ideology; plural noun: ideologies

  1. 1.
    a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy.
    "the ideology of republicanism"
    synonyms: beliefs, ideas, ideals, principles, doctrine, creed, credo, teaching,dogma, theory, thesis, tenets, canon(s); More
    • the set of beliefs characteristic of a social group or individual.
      "a critique of bourgeois ideology"
  2. 2.
    archaic
    the science of ideas; the study of their origin and nature.
    • archaic
      visionary speculation, especially of an unrealistic or idealistic nature.


religion
rɪˈlɪdʒ(ə)n/
noun
  1. the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
    "ideas about the relationship between science and religion"
    synonyms: faith, belief, divinity, worship, creed, teaching, doctrine, theology; More

      plural noun: religions
      "the world's great religions"
    • a pursuit or interest followed with great devotion.
      "consumerism is the new religion"
So whilst they are not exclusive... your first sentence of your reply is incorrect.


Again, If you want to discuss the merit(s) or otherwise of islam, please do so in another thread, and anyone interested can do it there (according to the rules of android forums and the specific guidelines for the Politics and Current affairs subforum)

This thread is for discussion about the GOP Presidential Candidates.

On Eve of South Carolina Vote, Nation’s ICE Officers Detail How Marco Rubio Betrayed Them

BNN: Sen. Rubio touted his bill as “The Toughest Border Security & Enforcement Measures In U.S. History,” do you believe this was an honest representation of the bill?

CRANE: I think that’s absolutely false – there was no real promise or guarantee of stronger border security. The bill actually relinquished Congress’ authority to establish border security measures to the head of DHS. The head of DHS then had something like so six months to unilaterally develop a border security plan after the Gang of Eight bill passed.​
 
Donald Trump's yuge South Carolina primary win

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Donald Trump has won South Carolina's primary, cementing his status as a formidable front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination.

Trump led the field with 35% of the vote and 9% of votes tallied. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio were in a dogfight for second place, with Cruz at 22% and Rubio at 21%, with Jeb Bush hovering around 10%, John Kasich at 7% and Ben Carson at 6%.

Trump's big win in a deeply religious southern state shows that his tough talk, penchant for controversy and hardline immigration views outweighs his past social liberalism with enough voters — and keep him in the driver's seat for the nomination, with a series of Deep South states set to vote in the coming weeks.​

Trump wins South Carolina as he posts second primary win

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — Donald Trump scored his second straight Republican presidential primary win, rolling to victory in South Carolina on Saturday as voters seething about Washington and politicians helped propel the billionaire businessman past GOP establishment candidates.

One of Trump's favorite targets, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, finally threw in the towel, suspending his campaign after a dismal finish. "Thank you for the opportunity to run for the greatest office on the face of the earth," an emotional Bush told his supporters.

Two freshmen senators — Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida — were battling for second place, which would give them bragging rights but might not get them any delegates in the march to the nomination.

...

Trump leads the overall race for delegates with 55. Ted Cruz has 11 delegates, Marco Rubio has 10, John Kasich has five, Jeb Bush has 4 and Ben Carson has three.​
 
Jeb Bush Bows Out of Campaign, Humbled and Outgunned

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Jeb Bush dropped out of the presidential race on Saturday, ending a quest for the White House that started with a war chest of $100 million, a famous name and a promise of political civility, but ended with a humbling recognition: in 2016, none of it mattered.

...don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
 
Time is running out for Donald Trump's rivals to stop him

Donald Trump's rivals are running out of time to stop him after his dominant performance in South Carolina.

A close look at the election calendar suggests that if the New York billionaire's rivals don't slow him by mid-March, their only chance to deny him the Republican presidential nomination may be a nasty and public fight at the party's convention this summer.

"When you look at it right now, it looks like there's this juggernaut," said Rich Beeson, a senior aide to one of Trump's main rivals, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

The reason is delegates and how they're awarded.

Winning states generates headlines, but the nomination is earned by collecting a majority of the delegates awarded in primaries and caucuses. Next up: Nevada's caucuses on Tuesday.​
 
How Jeb Bush Spent $130 Million Running for President With Nothing to Show for It

When Jeb Bush formally entered the presidential campaign in June, there was already more money behind him than every other Republican candidate combined. When he suspended his campaign on Saturday night in South Carolina, Mr. Bush had burned through the vast majority of that cash without winning a single state. It may go down as one of the least successful campaign spending binges in history.​

Why say that?

2 reasons:

1 - Kasich's supporters will eventually coalesce around Rubio. I imagine about half of Carson's will go to Cruz, the others will go to Trump. That will put Rubio and Trump ahead of Cruz.

2 - Delegate math. Assuming Ted Cruz can pull off a bunch of wins in the South, those states are not winner-take-all. That means if Trump takes second, he'll still get almost as many delegates as Cruz does. In other states where Trump does well, the delegates are awarded on a winner-take-all basis.
 
GOP Establishment to Kasich: Get Out, You're in Rubio's Way

Republican fundraiser Bobbie Kilberg got down to the nub of the issue in explaining why she wants GOP presidential candidate John Kasich to give up the ship.

"I think it is not helpful to have more than one mainstream candidate in this race," Kilberg tells Politico.
Like many in the party after the South Carolina primary, Kilberg says she sees Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as the only establishment-backed candidate with a legitimate chance to overcome the Donald Trump tidal wave and win the nomination, Politico reports.​
