    Don't know what it is, he has absolutely NO! chance of becoming President and is floundering in the Polls, but he continues sputtering along in his campaign and wasting all that Money his Idiot donors contributed to his Presidential campaign. Right now Donald Trump has 17 Delegates and Bush has 4, Donald Trump is leading in the Polls everywhere and Jeb Bush is at the bottom of the barrel looking for scraps. I think this shows a lot about the character of the man, instead of dropping out and donating all that money, which is well north of $ 100 million dollars to some needy charities like Wounded Warrior, instead he keeps trudging along and squandering it away on a failing campaign. It's almost as if Jeb can't admit defeat and has a sense of entitlement to the White House, because of his family. Can't wait to see his face when Donald Trump wins the GOP nomination and he has to accept him as his party's champion.

    I do not think Bush would accept Trump as the Republican nominee and perhaps Cruz won't either. Trump may very well win as you pointed out. But the divide Trump vs. Cruz vs. Bush may have the cause and effect of some of those supporters of Cruz and Bush staying home in November. Trump is winning, but in so doing he is making enemies within the Republican Party that might not be able to paper over for November.

    I have pointed this out on another thread, Trumps unfavorable within the Republican Party has risen from 20% in December, close to normal to 34% today. Being folks usually do not vote for someone they dislike, that may be huge come November. Time will tell.

    I wouldn't count out Jeb, yet. The Bush dynasty may have an ace card up their sleeve and just waiting for the right time to release something so shocking about Trump that he may have no other recourse but to drop out of the Presidential race.

    The Republicans will get the nominee they deserve. It will be fun watching the rest of the trainwreck play out.

    Comic relief, for sure.

    It must be the family name for some when it comes to the presidency. Bush. Clinton. Good for the dynasty, huh?

    If Bush doesn't do well in S.Carolina, he should drop out.

    Jeb is very unattractive.. whining and defending his family.. It makes him look weak.

    I don't think Jeb! Is dumb or power hungry. He is lacking charisma and strength which, IMO is needed to be a viable candidate. The GOP and his family won't let him drop out yet but it is clear that he doesn't have the hunger for the position.

    LOL, you know, I was thinking the same thing. If Hillary wins it will be because of the Republican's insistence of nominating Trump

    Ha! after (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) Slapping Jeb around in last nights debate, Donald Trump is now at 42% in South Carolina, while Jeb is crawling along like a Salamander at a solid 6%. Poor Jeb, TOO! simple minded to realize that he's done like a Thanksgiving Turkey and is going to have to sooner or later accept reality that Donald Trump is going to win the GOP's nomination. Love seeing The Donald continue to Hammer him like a School Yard bully

    He is power hungry just as most of them are. You know Hilary is, more than Bernie Sanders. She would just about do anything to get elected. I put nothing past her.
