Jeb Bush’s daring gambit: Be yourself

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Sen. Marco Rubio, one half of “Jebio” if you’ll excuse the tacky neologism, is quick to tell you who he is on the campaign trail: he’s the American Dream incarnate, prophet of a bold, totally not balding New American Century.

Jeb Bush wants Republicans to know he’s breaking fundraising records. Hillary Rodham Clinton wants Democrats to think she won’t. While many Republicans expect Bush to have raised $100 million by the time he declares his candidacy, Clinton advisers say that’s their modest goal for the entire primary season. The reality is that both campaigns will be flush with high-dollar donors. Bush and Clinton could each pull in more than $1 billion if they become their party’s nominee. But the disparate…

Look who’s speaking Spanish: Republican 2016 contenders bring bilingual abilities to campaign

in Top Headlines by

Republicans are bringing something unique to the 2016 presidential campaign: an ability to speak to Americans in both of their main mother tongues, Spanish as well as English. Democrats can’t match it. Previous GOP candidates couldn’t. But now, paradoxically, the party that’s on the outs with many Hispanic voters over immigration is the party that has serious presidential candidates who are surefooted in their language. It remains to be seen how much Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio will use their…
