The race for the Republican presidential nomination is not turning out as the mainstream media predicted.
Six short months ago, the press had all but anointed former Florida governor Jeb Bush as the GOP's 2016 nominee. Last summer, when enthusiasm for Bush turned out to be lower than anticipated, the media changed their story-line: real estate mogul Donald Trump, they proclaimed, would lead an insurgent revolt all the way to the nomination.
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — Jeb Bush emerged from the third Republican debate as a candidate in crisis, with supporters struggling to understand why he keeps underperforming and advisers promising a turnaround before it's too late.
Campaigning in New Hampshire Thursday, Bush insisted his White House bid was "not on life support."
