“Former governor Jeb Bush has lots of political savvy on his side — his own savvy and that of others — and a ton of money behind him. So he could end up being the last man standing after the many Republican conservatives knock each other off.
What could prevent that would be if each of the successive conservative Republican candidates who fall behind were to throw their support to whoever becomes the conservative candidate with the best chance of rescuing us all from another Clinton versus Bush election.”
THIS is Tom Sowell’s purpose in writing the article. The field will thin out as we go along. Sowell is warning us that, unless we quit behaving like children, we will get stuck with Jeb Bush as candidate and, worse, Hillary Clinton as president.
I see you beat me to it, Walrus....
