The fact that the donors backed Jeb and STILL haven’t backed out tells you just how out-of-touch this party’s leadership is. Not only do they not understand what their party’s want and believe, they’re even too stupid to come up with a plan to fool us.
It suggests to me that they have something up their sleeve to steal the nomination and have to keep their boy in the lineup, even if he is on life support.
I agree with you. I would like to add onto your point that it also shows who owns these politicans.

I think it may mean that the big money donors are desperate and gullible. I suspect the Bush BS line to donors goes something like this: As bad as my poll numbers are right now, I’m the only candidate for sale who has any chance at all in beating Trump, whom everybody in this room knows can’t be bought. And the reason I have the best chance is the proven record of my family in electing two of us to President, and we also still have our whole network of donors and insiders fully intact. All the other candidates are pretenders and/or Johnny-come-latelies.
