A new TV spot from the super PAC supporting Jeb Bush hits the New Hampshire airwaves this week promoting the Republican presidential candidate’s history of disrupting politics as usual.

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Inside the arena, the roar was deafening when Hillary Rodham Clinton took the stage at the annual convention of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, with thousands jumping to their feet to welcome the party’s White House front-runner. Outside the hall, a far less joyous conversation was taking place. “She kind of turns me off,” said Marsha Campaniello, a 63-year-old real estate appraiser from Concord. “But I’d rather have a Democrat in there as opposed to a Republican.” At ice cream…

But Reince Priebus says this time he’s serious. The Republican National Committee chairman said this…

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Bernie Sanders doesn’t kiss babies. He promises them a revolution. “This is for you,” the upstart Democratic presidential candidate told 3-month-old Lily Landretti after an event in southeastern Iowa. He meant his insurgent campaign. Lily just kept gurgling. In an age of carefully planned campaigns, the Vermont senator is different. A self-identified grump, Sanders gets angry, rolls up his sleeves and winds up drenched in sweat. Like Donald Trump in the Republican race, Sanders has been drawing big crowds and…

Jeb Bush’s Right to Rise PAC starts spending its cash on ads in three early voting states

in 2017/Top Headlines by

One of the reasons why many people thought that Jeb Bush would be the man to beat for the Republican nomination for president was his ability to raise a lot of money from the donors class. Early on in his campaign, advisers talked about a “shock and awe” fundraising strategy that would blow away virtually every other candidate in the race.
