Jeb didn’t even have 10% support in 2016.
Not only that but he does NOT support the party’s nominee and his wretched family supports its Dem opponent. Jeb, look to Romney, Sr., Bill Scranton and Nelson Rockefeller who would not back Goldwater in 1964. They had great careers after that, didn’t they?? Look at Richard Nixon and Reagan, who endorsed and campaigned for Goldwater. Ain’t no way we’re voting for you, Mr. Bush, Nada, not ever.
Three lonely delegates?

53 million @ delegate? They didn’t want to buy a landslide, that’s the only explanation I can think of ....
