Campaign instructs aides to argue Bush has greater potential in New Hampshire.
The bar was low for Jeb Bush's finish in Monday's Iowa caucus. He failed to clear it anyway.
After a blowout defeat that landed him in sixth place with just 2.8 percent of the vote, Bush's campaign is now directing top aides and surrogates to highlight the lack of emphasis the one-time front-runner placed on the state – and to make the case that he has far higher expectations in New Hampshire.
"The real race for the nomination begins on February 9th in New Hampshire," the campaign wrote in a "talking points" memo sent to advisers and high-profile supporters. "It will set the race going forward and today, Jeb Bush is in a very strong position in the state."
It goes on to add: "The Jeb 2016 campaign has never made Iowa a centerpiece to winning the nomination. We have long viewed Iowa as just one of 56 contests, electing 30 delegates out of 2,472 going to the Convention to select our nominee."
Surrogates are then reminded that in November a "strategic decision" was made to "shift resources away from Iowa." Bush's time in Iowa, it notes, was "significantly scaled back." In December and January, it says, Bush "went 40 days without visiting Iowa."

There is going to be significant pressure from the GOPe for the Dauphin to make way for the False Bush Rubio. Michael Murphy is going to have to accelerate the spending so he and his cronies can boost the paychecks before the inevitable happens.
Oh Wait, There isn't one XD
Ha!
Rubio though is Jeb 2.0 and Fox is supporting him big time. Rubio is now the GOPe’s horse in this race.
Jeb spent $2800 per vote in Iowa. Ouch!
LOL!

This thing has been dead for a while. Its time to close the lid and bury it.
Gee, that’s too bad.
Well, Bye

I except to see a lot less media attention on this embarrassing liberal clown over the next few weeks.
There should be - a steady stream of Yeb! news could be an endless source of entertainment.
