Mr. Trump you have a nasty habit of surviving.

Look out Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, the political world no longer thinks you will be the only real contenders for Florida's March 15 presidential primary. In our latest Florida Insider Poll, nearly 80 percent of the savvy Sunshine state politicos surveyed predict that Donald Trump will be on the ballot as well.
"The Trump bubble is certainly not going to burst as early as many of us expected -- he is here for awhile," lamented one Republican.
Many Republican leaders had expected Trump's candidacy to fizzle out by now, but he continues to lead in most polls. Trump still being in the race by mid-March is not the same thing as Trump winning the Sunshine state race, however. Two thirds of the Florida Insiders predicted Jeb Bush will win Florida's primary and ultimately the Republican nomination too.
"2016 race certainly getting stranger by the day - but only Jeb has the resources & campaign organization to wait out the Trump bubble until in bursts. Trump currently the anti-Bush option - he is allowing no one else to grab that mantle with any certainty - that helps Jeb long term," said one Republican. "End of the day Jeb emerges and wins a very tough fight for the nomination. Followed by an even tougher fight in the fall that will also see him prevail."
This is an unscientific survey of 150 members of Florida's political elite - campaign professionals, lobbyists, recovering politicians, fundraisers, and the like. It reflects the thinking of Florida's political establishment, which is not exactly enamored with Trump.
"Even though many of them are my friends, I will admit that it's fun watching the daily meltdowns from within the consultant class over Teflon Trump's inability to bleed when cut," one Republican confessed....

Who cares. They are both surrender-monkey RINOs. Every vote for the Jeb/Trump axis is a vote for Democrats.

In other words, junk.
Many Republican leaders had expected Trump’s candidacy to fizzle out by now
Do they “lead” the surrender to Obama on every issue in congress, even though we-the-people voted in congressional Republican majorities over and over again?
Is that what they are “leaders” of????????????????
Wow, nickcarraway. You really are the energizer bunny.
I thought JB was a decent governor. Thanks for the castle doctrine.
But everything since prevents me from voting for him in good conscience.
If Bush wins the white house I will then be 100% convinced that it’s all rigged and our votes don’t count.
I watched the rally tonight, Fox kept cutting in with commercials, very annoying.
Trump could well be on his way to the White House.
I can’t believe I’m typing that, I have never liked the guy, but he is connecting with people like I haven’t seen since Reagan. He is definitely not Reagan or even a philosophical conservative, but he is proudly American, something people like after having a President who goes around the world apologizing for us.
I’m a patriot.
Mr. Trump you have a nasty habit of surviving.
This site is full of patriots so cut then holier than thou crap, troll.
He is not the same person
I voted for him too.
Not this time
The next thing in this campaign all these "elites" are right about with be the first thing they've been right about.
I took this one in DeFuniak Springs when Jeb and Connie Mack were campaigning. The only reason I went was they were giving away free hot dogs and cokes. Jeb was not a bad Governor but I have made a resolute decision to never vote for another Bush, period!
FLGOPe.........
I’m getting sick of them trying to impose socialism on this country.
