Bush: Trump's debate boycott will hurt him in Iowa
CNN ^ | 1/27/16 | Wade Payson-Denney

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush became the latest Republican presidential candidate to criticize Donald Trump's decision to skip Thursday night's Fox News debate, saying the move will "hurt him" in Iowa.

Bush also took on his rivals for the nomination for not directly attacking Trump in previous debates.

In an interview with CNN's Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger, Bush deemed Trump's boycott "kind of weird" and claimed that "it'll hurt him that he's not showing up in the Iowa debate, four days before the Iowa caucuses."

Why should Trump agree to share time with these guys in single digits? It can only help them. What does Trump have to gain?

I read right here on FR that Ronald Reagan skipped the last scheduled Debate before the Iowa Caucus back in 1980.

If true, did that hurt Reagan? Just asking...

That is curious that Jebster seems to have given up on Iowa.

Daddy and Bro won the Iowa caucus when they ran, IIRC.

Could Iowa be as tired of the Bush family as the rest of us are?

Hey Jeb!

Will you have the good sense to be embarrassed when your numbers still don’t improve after the debate without Donald?

But something like that would hurt Jeb much less because he is pretty close to zero already.

Not sure if anybody keeps stats, but I think JB might well have the highest cost per vote cast of any candidate in US history.

The jeb strategy is saturation of the TV air waves with so much jeb that it’s only natural to see a jeb TV ad every day, and even expect it. Subliminal on steroids.
