Jeb Bush: U.S. assistance for refugees should focus on Christians

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush says that any U.S. assistance to Middle Eastern refugees should focus primarily on Christians fleeing persecution.

"We should focus our efforts as it relates to refugees on the Christians that are being slaughtered," he told CNN's "State of the Union" in an interview on Sunday morning.

Bush conceded that screening refugees to determine whether they are Christian presents a "national security challenge" to the United States and European countries, but he added that "we do that a lot" already as the country screens potential refugees for relocation.

Jeb Bush: U.S. assistance for refugees should focus on Christians

Give the Middle Eastern refugee men the circumcision test: If you are circumcised, then you must be Muslim (or even Jewish). But if you are not circumcised, you must be Christian and therefore, you get to come to the U.S.

Well Jeb doesn't have to worry about Bobby Jindal any more.  Jindal is dropping out of the race.  That must be a big relief for Jeb.

I doubt it.
Jindal's supporters of, what, about 35, will get split up.

Try 8.00003%

When is the next Republican debate?
It should be a doozy.
Even a majority of Democrats should be showing up trying to pick their new candidate in the fall election, because Hillary and the President have all but abandoned the party with the terrorism debate.

[dondub]

Sure they have.

Are you talking about Democrats or Republicans here?
I am unsure who you are putting down here

CSPAN had Trump's ninety minute speech on last night.
They ran a crawler announcement that it might be shall we say, slightly offensive to some people. What they did not actually say, it would be offensive to the three Democratic Presidential candidates and might blow their chances out of the water.

Bob Dole was never the answer

Trump +3%- he is neither gaining nor losing in overall percentages- holding steady at 25%. 

Carson- a little blush has come off his campaign.  he is no longer riding at the crest.  he may have peaked at 25%.  edit: he has fallen 3% from his peak.

Rubio- still gaining.  is now less than 10% behind Carson.  has been in double figures polling for SEVEN straight surveys.  now at his best polling level since MAY.

Cruz- also still gaining.  he is at his highest polling level since peaking in April, and only 1.3% below his high for his entire campaign. 

Bush- languishing at his lows for the campaign, but the bleeding appears to have stopped.

Trump and Carson are still basically tied for first.

Rubio and Cruz are still basically tied for third.

Bush is all alone in 5th.

NOTE: surprisingly, Kasich is in 6th.  i don't really get that one.  his last debate was pretty awful.  probably says more about who he is leading than it does him.

[djAdvocate]

i am sure i will draw the ire of Paul for this, but i like Rubio AS A CANDIDATE.  he polls well against Clinton, and he knows how to campaign.  i think he has a shot at winning.

The Repos did select him. But it's not like they eve have the answer.

2016, baby!
It,'s all Republican.
Mainstream Democrats are running rightwing red this week.
Might not be many of them left, but should be enough to trigger "Change".

two new surveys are out, and they both show the same thing- Trump up by double digits, again (note- from this point forward, i will post the lead over the next competitor):

Trump + 8% - all alone in first place.  clear front runner, and his best numbers since his September peak.

Carson + 7% - all alone in second place.  his latest two surveys were lower- but not sharply.  he is polling at appx 20%, down from appx 25% in October.

Rubio + 1% - he and Cruz continue to bring up the third tier.  Rubio is polling at his best level since May.

Cruz + 6% - Cruz is on fire.  he is now at his best level in nearly TWO YEARS.  you read that right.  two years.  he is only 1% below his high of 12.3% set in October of 2013.

i am no longer tracking Bush.  he has fallen to fourth tier.  he is out of polling error by a good margin on four of the last seven surveys.  he is BARELY ahead of people who really are no longer contending for the job.  i no longer believe he has any real chance of winning.

i think i am going to start a thread on the actual nomination, since putting it on the Bush thread seems silly at this point.

[kadee79]

Bush needs to pack it up and go home!

I don't have a link but saw this morning that Trump had dropped 12 pts. and Carson was down too.

Rubio & Cruz tied at 8% (I think)

The GOP NEEDS a REAL leader to run and not this bunch of yahoos they have now.

And just so you know...I'm neither republican nor democrat nor independent....I don't fit into any category, I vote the issues and not the person....and am often disappointed that whomever wins doesn't follow through with what they said about the issues while running.

[djAdvocate]

KD- could you post a link to that poll?  i have not seen any new presidential data in almost a week, and i am jones-ing.

Just a point of interest to me: What does "independent" mean to you in this context?

i don't get what that poll is.  it is not "who would you vote for", because Trump has never scored that high in those surveys.

but this is quite interesting.  it would be more interesting if someone was nipping at his heels, however.

Jeb at 3% has all the contenders right where he wants them.
He is about to bust a move

[Value Buy]

If you look at the New Hampshire  numbers, after Trump in first, Bush is in a tight race for second or third.
He will rise to the occasion!
As long as he does not pick the left's new darling, Cheney, for his running mate, who they are quoting 24/7 now that he disliked Trump's stance on Muslim's, Bush will garner the nomination.

I cannot believe the media loves the Cheney now. Anything to bring Donald down.

Jeb! is on the march!

Vote Jeb!
Because there is no "establishment", and I'm its candidate.

[djAdvocate]

so, just out of curiosity, are you going to carry this meme all the way to the election, or will you settle for him losing after New Hampshire?

Jeb! lose?

It's conceivable, I suppose. In a "Suppose the sun exploded tomorrow..." hypothetical kind of way.

Jeb! losing can only mean that Mr. Rubio manages to out-curry the favour of the establishment. I suppose I'll have no choice except to cast Jeb! out of my heart like a snot-covered kerchief and instead pledge myself to Mr. Rubio, whose loyal subordination to the establishment binds me to him.

If somebody tells you "I'll have no choice except to cast [so and so] out of my heart like a snot-covered kerchief" in response to the question "Are you going to [promote so and so] all the way to the election?", I assure you that you may safely conclude the answer is 'no'.
