Jeb Bush Says His Campaign Is 'Not on Life Support'
By CANDACE SMITH Portsmouth, New Hampshire — Oct 29, 2015, 5:21 PM ET
Last night was not Jeb Bush’s night. After high hopes for a strong performance in Wednesday's debate, Bush allowed himself to be bested by his former protege, Sen. Marco Rubio. Today, in his first post-debate appearance, he maintained that his campaign is not on its last leg.
"It’s not on life support," he said of his campaign. "We have the most money, we have the greatest organization. We’re doing fine."
This weekend, speaking to a group of donors in Texas, Bush assured them that he would electrify in the third debate. Instead, he was widely seen as one of the losers, speaking for little time and not delivering any knockout blows. In New Hampshire, he downplayed his performance, maintaining that he still sees himself as the most qualified to be president.
"Look there are two types of politicians. There are the talkers, and there are the doers. I wish I could talk as well as some of the people on the stage, the big personalities on the stage. but I’m a doer.”
