Watching the Sunday talk shows, if I didn’t “know” that Jeb Bush was considered washed up, I would have thought the other campaigns saw him as a real force in Tuesday’s balloting. On ABC’s “This Week,” both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio laid into Jeb. Trump countered Bush scoring points on him in a Saturday night debate exchange […]

The days are getting shorter for Jeb Bush to make his case in New Hampshire.

With wet snow already ankle deep and falling fast, Dave Chiokadze and James Radcliffe trekked down one long driveway after another in search of potential votes for Donald Trump. “It’s like the Revolutionary War,” joked Chiokadze as they made their way house to house along a Londonderry street, knocking on doors that were flagged by […]

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie doubts the future of New Hampshire’s primary if Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio take the three top spots Tuesday. The Republican presidential candidate, in an aggressive campaign throughout New Hampshire, warns voters about the three leading candidates because they have spent relatively little time in the state. As […]
