Speaking with Fox News' Megyn Kelly on Thursday night, once-presumed Republican frontrunner Jeb Bush faced a tough line of questioning. After an aggressive inquiry about assigning responsibility for the September 11 and Benghazi attacks, Kelly highlighted Bush's low poll numbers and asked, "What would it take to make you get out" of the GOP race?
Bush responded that he is "not getting out," arguing that the race could still change significantly in the coming months."Herman Cain was the winner at this time when he was running," Bush pointed out. "Hillary Clinton was up 26 points in October [2007] against Barack Obama. Rudy Giuliani was the frontrunner eight years ago."
Kelly wasn't satisfied, however, making the case that Bush's immigration policy is fundamentally out of step with much of the Republican base. Watch the whole exchange below. Bonnie Kristian
