every time he does this, trump says you re only say this to win. no doubt he was. bush has gone from center of the stage to the edge of the stage. he s out of room to maneuver. he s at 3%. it s at the middle of the december. increasingly, as you look at some of the candidates on the debate stage tonight, it s not just jeb bush. it s jb bush, carly fiorina, rand paul, very, very difficult to articulate what their path is to a comeback to the nomination, to an early stay win. so he s got to say something. he s got to show some fight. clearly the way you show fight, you show strength is by going after the toughest guy in the room. but i think for jeb bush it s late in the game and the days are getting short. it s late in the game. you know, for example, these are little cosmetic things. i wear glasses when i read and i wear them in the movies. there s nothing wrong with wearing glasses. but here s a guy who never
if we could. sure. donald is great at the one-liners. but he s a chaos candidate. and he d be a chaos president. i know what i don t know. i know what i don t know. i would seek out, as i have, the best advice that exists. i won t get my information from the shows. i don t know if that s saturday morning or sunday morning. i don t know which one. here s what the washington post said. yes, his forms was a stet up from previous debate struggles but bush needed to somehow score a knock-out purge and he didn t get one. title of the article said it was jeb s last stand and he failed. what s your reaction to that? these people are trying to write a narrative for it last month and they won t back away in spite of overwhelming evidence that jeb is in this race to win. what s that evidence, al? well, look. there are two things that republican voters are looking for. one is who can keep us safe, and two, who can best stand up to hillary clinton. yesterday s back and forth with
kasich laid out his foreign policy plan to defeat isis especially with the kurds. isis and the internet stayed consistent. there was a lot of talk last night and a lot of talk online today about encryption and about the internet and how we can use that to maybe help defeat isis. one of the things that wasn t talk about too much is this issue of encryption and some of the apps that exist in europe. we ll have more on that throughout the day. the top tweeted moment overall, you re a tough guy, jeb. this was obviously one of the highlights of the debate. take a listen. this is a tough business to run for president. oh, i know. you re a tough guy, jeb. i know. you re real tough, jeb. you re never going to get to be president by sulking your way trump came out on the top of that back and forth but it actually seemed to have helped jeb bush, jeb bush the second-highest tweeted candidate. so you never know, maybe in the long run, at least on social
who is he lecturing for our benefit? school wormy about it to me. i don t know. yes, although, i thought toward the end there, as the debate wound down, and trump was waiting to get off the stage without pulling his stack and robert s right, he kept his cool. some of them were funny. i don t know that it s going to help jeb bush at all. and it s certainly not going to slow down donald trump. so in the end, it was kind of a sad side show, and kind of cota to trump s continuing on on his march. and jeb not really not really
when, you know, you re at 5% or 3% and not when you were at well, you know yes. let s look. monde-morning the fact of the matter is, yes. it s a little late to be doing this. yes, he should have been doing this earlier. should have been more comfortable doing it. he is now. is it too late? the trajectory is not good. nobody has spent more money and seen his numbers go down more, financially, when you look at the amount of money spent versus the standing in the polls than jeb bush. he found life. and, you know, if this is what he does now between now and iowa, he becomes the guy who trolls trump, maybe that s enough. maybe it s simply about helping the party out. whatever it is, jeb has found looks comfortable finally in a role in this campaign. no longer as policy wonk. in this case trump troller. the fact is that there has not been one vote cast yet.
