other than any of the other pooech people they are running against in the primary, hoping that creates the sense they are the inevitable nominees because they have been going at each other the last week. we have a new suffolk university poll of iowa. this is an iowa poll showing donald trump at 17 in iowa. scott walker at 12. rubio ten, carson nine, fiorina seven and jeb bush at 5. jonathon allen, that s how does that hit the bush campaign tonight? i think it has to be pretty bad news for them. i think they should wait for multiple polls and make sure it is not an outliar . i think the governor can speak to this well, it is a conservative group in the republican primary. i don t think that jeb bush distinguished himself as particularly conservative on the debate stage last thursday.

plan is now. let s start with iraq the five broad actions i would take as president to help remove the threat from that country. first, we must support the iraqi forces, which right now have the will to win but not the means. second, we must give these forces the consistent advantage of american air power. third, we must make better use of the limited forces we have by giving them a greater range of action. right now, we have around 3500 soldiers and marines in iraq. more may well be needed. we do not need and our friends don t ask for a major commitment of american combat forces, but what we do need is to convey we are serious, that we are determined to help local forces to take back their country. fourth, provide more support to the kurds, giving them decisive military power against isis. jonathon allen, he kind of
the islamic state and its followers are an asymmetric threat. he is trying to wage his campaign on issues of substance. i watched jeb bush give the worst answer the other day. jeb s answer on women s health issues is a disaster for him. when you focus on trump you get involved in the clown car. i can only go by the polls. a suffolk university survey indicates he s still ahead in iowa. this is the campaign that is not a campaign. because someone can stand up and say you are stupid and ugly does not equate with a vision for the country. i m the most fabulous whiner. i do whine because i want to win. trump on top aft the debate. there should have been 2 million people watching, there were 24 million people. i was fantastic. the ratings were huge. the best reality show on television. who do you think they are watching with, jeb bush? i don t think so. tonight, at the reagan library in california and major foreign policy speech jeb bush confronted the
