Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, fresh off a plane in Portsmouth, N.H., laughed off criticism from a Fox News host that his campaign is, in her words, “terminal.”

“All across this country, we’re the one that has the best organization,” Bush told host Jenna Lee on Fox’s “Happening Now” program. “To suggest the campaign is terminal, come on. That’s pretty funny.”

In the less than 24 hours since Republican presidential debate in Colorado, Bush was largely declared the loser among 10 candidates or that he didn’t have enough of a break-out moment for his lagging poll numbers.
