The more I see, the more convinced I am that the GOPe set up Jeb to attack Trump in the last debate, to get Trump rattled. Then, Marco Rubio would sit there with his prepackaged, "Establishment Approved" answers and look like he was above the fray and more "Presidential".

I think the GOPe is smart enough to know Jeb's out, and was trying to use him to trap Trump.

Howie Kurtz said that GOP broke an agreement with Trump/Cruz over Tickets.

Looking back on it, remember that Cruz was the original "wacko bird" conservative that the official party was terrified of. I think Jeb was originally supposed to take Cruz down but had to change course when Trump started to roll. Maybe that's some of the reason why Jeb looks stunned, sounds retarded, and spends money like he's on shore leave with little or nothing in return.

I agree that Marco is the anointed one, so the GOPe will have to use more conventional means against Cruz (and they will not use citizenship lest Rubio get bruised as well). In the meantime, just hope that Baby Bush does not give Baby Donnie his rationale for going Ross Perot on us).
The scary thing is that Trump is potentially narcissist enough to think he'll lead a grand coalition of former Dems, Pubs, and Indies to victory over the "stupid politicians" and make America's future "huge" in his image.)
