“Remember RINOS would rather lose the POTUS vice allowing a true conservative and reformer to win.”

After eight years of Obama, it is very likely that the presidency will go to the R’s. So this is an epic battle over whether the ruling class retains the presidency or not. They thought it was in the bag when Bush raised >$100 million. Then Trump came along and messed everything up. RINO’s are part of the ruling class uni-party and will vote their party loyalty.

Rubio doesn’t have Bush’s baggage and the $100 million is in Super PACS—they can shift the money to Rubio whenever they want. At some point, that’s what will likely happen. Kasich and Fiorina are unlikely to survive to inherit that money when Bush exits. That leaves Rubio as the last (and most attractive) ruling class candidate running.

So it’s Rubio vs Trump, Carson and Cruz. Unfortunately, all three of the the non-ruling-class guys have staying power and they will split conservative votes and delegates.

So the nomination goes to Rubio.

My best guess.

Problem is that at this point, JEB! is spending more than he is bringing in. His money pump is broken as the big $ people are holding off to see who they have to buy next.

Also Cruz, an uncontrollable, also is gaining in the cash donations to JEB! He may have as much cash on hand as him already.

Looks bad for that Bush dynasty thing.

“More interestingly, if Jeb drops out (Huzzah!), to whom will he throw his support?”

Maybe Rand Paul?

I’m not sure if he would back Ron Paul. Huckabee, yes.

Jeb needs to drop out and take Rubio with him.

No amnesty candidate will get my vote.

No, because he will be on the ballot in 2016 due to the crossover votes in the open primary states.

Indeed!

Jack Welsh (former GE CEO) was on CNN last night, and he said he also had misgivings about Jeb’s his lack of energy.

Welsh then said that GE and Trump were once involved in a big real estate deal, and Trump did a great job.

Welsh said the main characteristic of Trump is that he gets things done, is a real doer.
