However, if he was, he’d be the leading candidate in the Granite State, according to a new Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll published Sunday. The poll shows Romney with 31 percent support, compared to Donald Trump‘s 15 percent. However, with Romney not mentioned in the survey, the New…

What does Jeb Bush get for $20 million in TV ad buys? Not much.

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Jeb Bush and his supporters have spent more than twice that of any other candidate or outside group on TV ads in the 2016 presidential race. And what does the former Florida governor get for nearly $20 million, asks Mark Murray of NBC News. Apparently, not much.

Survey of Democratic super-delegates: Marco Rubio is top 2016 threat

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Bring on Donald Trump, and Ben Carson, too. That’s what Democratic insiders are saying about the Republican outsiders who sit solidly atop preference polls in the race for the GOP nomination for president. They are far more worried about GOP candidates who have experience in office, with Marco Rubio cited most often as the strongest potential competition for their overwhelming choice for the Democratic nomination, Hillary Rodham Clinton. “As a Democrat, I’d love to see a Trump-Carson ticket,” said Bob…

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Well, when your poll numbers are considered to be so paltry that you’re not even invited to the early non-prime time GOP presidential debates, that’s a pretty good sign about what the party thinks of you.

No longer a given that Florida will support Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush

in 2017/Top Headlines by

It’s no longer a safe assumption that one of Florida’s two most popular Republicans will carry the presidential primary in their home state, as most of the GOP candidates turned their attention Friday to the state’s winner-take-all primary. Sen. Marco Rubio and former Gov. Jeb Bush no longer lead the polls in Florida, where Republicans are gravitating toward outsiders Donald Trump and Ben Carson. And party activists showed as much, if not more, enthusiasm for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz than…
