Fiorina and Kasich rise was great. It take away Bush's supporters. It is just too many fishes in that small pond. I don't think Bush can even rise up to be #2 anymore unless a few of these people drop out (Kasich, Rubio, Fiorina).
I like Kasich a lot. I hope he placed second or win New Hampshire. That will like a nail in the coffin of Bush. Kasich of course is a much easier opponent for Trump than Bush.
I see many people ranked Rubio as #1 on a lot of power ranking. I think Rubio is done for the moment Trump shifted the conversation to immigration.
John Kasich was over rated in that first debate, he was especially weak on defending the Obamacare medicaid expansion and how he'd appeal to ordinary people. He kept obsessing over his time in Washington D.C. as the other senators know Americans don't want a Washington insider.
The answer to the question is, Governor Bush will rise because eventually, people will recognize we need a proven leader, not a self-promoter. ohn Kasich:
- Fiscally Irresponsible
• Fact Check: Medicaid expansion provided economic stimulus, helps keep budget balanced
• Fact Check: Created 400,000 jobs in a state two-thirds the size of Bush's state
• Fact Check: Balanced the budget with a Democratic President
• Fact Check: Cut taxes the largest amount in the country
- Appeal to Ordinary People
• Fact Check: 60%/30% approval among independents
• Fact Check: Won 51% of union households
• Fact Check: Has Bush's total approval in Florida, 47%/45%, among Democrats alone
• Fact Check: Beating Bush in Iowa, N. H.
• Fact Check: Won most applause by far with appeal and inclusiveness in gay marriage answer
Kasich? Has an ego?
Jeb Bush, the son of a former President and brother to another, appeals more to "ordinary people" than Jeb Bush. Unless ordinary people excludes Democrats and independents, Kasich wins easily.
Jeb Bush, whose brother grew the deficit and caused an economic collapse still, unlike Obama. Jeb Bush, the dynasty candidate who is a "Washington outsider" apparently
What the heck? Ordinary people don't think Bush is a Washington outsider.
Jeb Bush:
Afraid of John Kasich.
