Baloney. The guy absolutely despises Trump. Check out his twitter feed.
If Jeb Bush had Trumps numbers, leading every national poll for 3 months, in the 20-30% range in a 15 candidate field, leading every state poll, etc. The Stirewalts of the world would be saying its over.
No candidate has ever had such a commanding lead for so long without being coronated by the media.
Yet because its trump they come up with power rankings and list the guy with the lead near the bottom and the guys in the single digits at the top (Bush before Cruz).
Garbage propaganda.
You know who else has a favorability rating in the 30% range? Kim Kardashian.
There are lots of reality TV personalities that could get 30% of the people to say they support them but could never win a Presidential election.
Very early primary season filled with kissing babies and visiting state fairs is much different than a one on one, head to head competition. In the primary, the media hangs on every word. That is good news for those with superior arguments and a positive temperament. It is death for clowns who do nothing but shout platitudes and non-sense.
