in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Happy Friday to you all, and what a weekend it will be as virtually the entire Republican presidential field (including Jim Gilmore!) makes its way to Orlando for the next two days for the Republican Party of Florida’s Sunshine Summit. We’re off to the event shortly ourselves, so let’s be succinct: Will we hear more about who’s the toughest of them all when it comes to immigration? Let’s face it, none of the candidates are going to go as extreme…

Donald Trump: It’s ‘beautiful’ to watch GOP rivals drop out

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Donald Trump is just fine with eight candidates on the debate stage, and he wouldn’t mind if a few more disappear before the next one. “We started off with 17, and one by one by one they’re disappearing,” Trump told a New Hampshire crowd on Wednesday morning. “It’s a beautiful thing to watch as they go out — I love it.” Trump’s appearance in New Hampshire came less than 12 hours after he debated his Republican rivals on stage in…

Despite apparent tension, Marco Rubio says things are “fine” with Jeb Bush

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Relations between presidential candidates Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush are “fine,” even as footage from the Milwaukee Republican Party debate show some tension between the two Floridians. As reported by Corrine Cathcart of ABC News, Bush appeared to brush off Rubio’s attempt to speak with him during a commercial break at the debate Tuesday night. Rubio, in an interview Wednesday morning on “Good Morning America,” dismissed the rumor of a possible feud. “It looked that way, but that’s not what…

Mitch Perry Report for 11.11.15 — The return of Rand Paul to the GOP presidential race

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

The odds were stacked against him last night, and there were many who were writing him off before last night’s debate. And yet he had a breakthrough performance at the GOP’s 4th presidential debate in Milwaukee. Jeb Bush? No, Rand Paul. Paul’s been down so far this election cycle that the only stories you seem to read about him these days are when he’s going to quit and concentrate on being re-elected to the Senate in Kentucky. But for one…

Analysis: No breakouts in GOP debate; muddled status quo

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Marco Rubio emerged unscathed. Ben Carson defended his integrity. Donald Trump flashed his dominant personality. And Jeb Bush avoided disaster. Mission accomplished. Aided by tentative questioning, the GOP’s top presidential candidates executed their strategies with little resistance in Tuesday night’s prime-time debate. Yet with no breakout moments — good or bad — the muddled status quo continues in the Republican Party’s unruly 2016 contest, with time running out to change voters’ minds heading into the holiday season. That’s good news…

For Ben Carson, debates have played limited role in his rise

in 2017/Top Headlines by

For some Republican presidential candidates, the party’s first three primary debates have been pivotal proving grounds that have strengthened their campaigns or shaken their supporters. Ben Carson isn’t among them. The famously mild-mannered Carson has largely avoided making headlines in the widely watched televised events, often willing to cede the spotlight to more verbose rivals and finding himself overshadowed in policy discussions. Yet the retired neurosurgeon’s standing with voters in preference polls has only gotten better. “The political language and…

Martin Dyckman: Jeb Bush-Gotterdammerung, and the rise of Marco Rubio

in 2017/Top Headlines by

It is startling to even think these words, let alone to have to write them, but I’m feeling sympathy for Jeb Bush. He may not welcome that emotion from a liberal who has rarely agreed with him about anything, but there’s a nation at stake. It seems almost unbelievable that the two most qualified of the Republican presidential candidates, Bush and John Kasich, are lagging far behind people whose election would be an international disgrace. Donald Trump is the most…
