It’s not exactly news that Jeb Bush is having trouble breaking through in the polls. In a survey released on Friday by CNN/ORC, the former Florida Governor is mired at just 3 percent nationally. He’s not doing much better in Iowa, where a Monmouth University poll showed him at 4 percent on Monday. But nobody […]

A website containing GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush‘s name is mysteriously redirecting users to rival Donald Trump‘s campaign website. Typing in www.Jebbush.com pulls up the front page of www.DonaldJTrump.com, including a photo of the billionaire real estate developer flashing a victory sign and his slogan, “Make America great again.” The registration of the jebbush.com domain […]

There’s a lot of angst in the country and political world about how we are dealing with domestic terrorism, five days after San Bernardino. Well, that’s what the media tells us. I’m not so sure. There were a lot of big football games over the weekend with sellout crowds. Restaurants and bars seemed to pretty […]

Jeb Bush‘s campaign colors were on display — literally — at an international art show in his hometown. A painting of Bush’s campaign slogan and the Twitter hashtag — “#All In For Jeb” — was unveiled Saturday before friends and supporters at the Miami studio of artist Romero Britto.

Our country has some serious issues to deal with. The next president must finally confront terrorism both overseas and within our borders.

Republican presidential candidates are locked in battle for more than just votes, they are also running in what is known as the “Sheldon Adelson primary.” Adelson, the multibillionaire casino magnate, is one of the biggest prizes for GOP contenders, through his willingness to spend a lot of money to promote favored candidates.

Jeb Bush and his allies are spending circles around his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination. Yet for all the money they’ve invested — $26 million on television ads alone — they’ve yet to see a substantial return. Having fallen from summer front-runner to autumn afterthought, the former Florida governor made deep spending cuts to […]
