Jeb Bush was definitive Sunday in predicting that there is no way Donald Trump wins the GOP presidential nomination.

Maybe, but neither will Bush, and if Bush wants to ensure Trump doesn’t get it, his surest bet is to get out and encourage his 5-10% support to go to someone else. That super wide field of candidates that was probably designed to thin the conservatives out so Bush could walk into the nomination is now doing the same thing for Trump. By staying in, Bush is only helping him.

He’s right, at the convention the other candidates will throw their delegates behind Rubio, with Cruz being the final Judas Iscariot.

Yeb is the guy who bragged he could win the nomination without the conservative base. How’s that working for you, senorita?

After Bush's misfeasance in the case of the judicial torture murder of Terri Schiavo, and his putting of the interests of foreign invaders before the security and interests of the people of this country, I have dismissed him as "not a serious American."

Yebediah is tied at 1% with Jim whatshisname, former VA governor in New Hampshire.
He’s revolving around Pluto with Stassen.

I’m still suspicious that they have a way to make Yeb! the nominee. If Trumps keeps doing what he’s doing and wins primaries, it’s going to be harder to make it look legitimate.

I am sure Bush has received certain guarantees from the RNC.

Jim Gilmore, former Gov. of Virginia. I think he is at 0% with Flimsey Grahamnesty.

Yeb! is still at 3%, down from 5%, down from 8%, down from 11%, down from 15%, down from 18%, down from 20%.

The Joyful Tippy-toes Tortoise believes he can turn it around.

The crookedity is already in operation. The rules for who can be considered at the Convention are a start. RNC people have already said they can mitigate certain primaries developments by judicious (read ham-handed) use of the RNC superdelegates at the convention, And the RNC/Priebus can change the rules at any point they decide things are not working out as they intend. They can, for instance, even without changing the rules, decertify state delegations for various reasons and deny them seats at the Convention.

You’re watching it happen in front of your face.

Instead of wearing the tinfoil on your head, you are jamming it into your ears and eyes and castigating those who understand and see what is happening.

2012 ring any bells? 3 states, multiple key counties with 100% of the vote for Obama???

Nevermind. You’ll never see it. Another fatal case of Normalcy Bias.

No. Not third party. Trump and Cruz together need to simply run as the Republican Party but with a convention separate from the Priebus RNC and simultaneous to it with Trump providing all the glitz and fireworks as he knows how to do.
