MANCHESTER, N.H. -- With the hours counting down until the New Hampshire primary, tensions between the Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush campaigns are intensifying. On Sunday afternoon, Bush campaign manager Danny Diaz convened top aides for an afternoon conference call in which he told them to expect "dirty tricks" from the Rubio campaign in the run-up to voting here, according to one source on the call. The source said Diaz, a hard-charging veteran operative, was not more specific. The conference call came as the Huffington Post reported that a pro-Rubio super PAC had sent out a mailer in the state that highlights remarks from Bush's mother, former First Lady Barbara Bush, that the country had grown tired of political dynasties. The stakes are high for both candidates on Tuesday — but especially for Bush, who has made New Hampshire the cornerstone of his campaign. There is a growing sense among some of Bush's top supporters that a less than impressive performance will make it harder for the former Florida governor to continue on his campaign.

Kasich, Bush and sadly Ben Carson should just wrap it up. If Christie gets at least 10% in NH and because he did well at the debate, I'd tell him to try SC.

“he told them to expect “dirty tricks” from the Rubio campaign”

Aren’t liberals always guilty themselves of what they
accuse others of being or doing?

So, ol cockeyed jr. has some tricks up his sleeve. That’s
nice, I’m sure he will fall flat on his face pulling them.

I think it’s time the comic relief got off the stage. No
more Klan Bush.

LOL poor old broad.. they pulled her out of nice warm house in Texas and had her pushing her walker out in a snowstorm for little Yeb.. it was hard to watch what they did to her it really was.. but it’s for the power and dynasty don’t you know

re: mom on a walker in a snowstorm in NH

I mentioned that yesterday. For us real folks, that would be elder abuse. Any fall for a 90 year old is often deadly.

Teri Schiavo, 90 year old mom on a walker in the snow, Jeb's got issues.

The Bush campaign is accusing Rubio of potential dirty tricks not because there are any, but just to plant that thought in the voting NH voters’ minds. It’s actually a Bush con job to dirty up Rubio with false and underhanded accusations based on no fact. Bush is a slimeball. I hope NH voters figure this out.
