I thought the fix was in for Jeb, although of late he seems to be doing everything humanly possible to trash his chances.

I don't think Jeb really wants to be President. I think he's running only because he believes this is a natural career progression for him but I get the feeling his heart's just not in it.

Romney's heart wasn't in it either. It's the GOPe which is deliberately picking weak loser candidates so the public will stay home, thereby ensuring victory for their commie masters. The Republican hierarchy and much of the party in general, through bribery and/or coercion, are now owned by the Democrats and are somehow beholden to them to do their bidding.
