Exactly ( 4 ) delegates.
Hell, Jeb doesn't need Trump to turn up the heat, Jeb is cooking himself now.
Looks good on him.

Some of the biggest Republican donors, who collectively have contributed tens of millions of dollars to shape the presidential race, are tightening their purse strings out of frustration with their inability to boost their favored candidates, or to slow Donald Trump.
Rather than continuing to write huge checks to support the cluster of establishment candidates jockeying to emerge as the leading alternative to Trump, a billionaire real estate showman roundly despised by the GOP elite, these donors have mostly retreated to the sidelines. They're watching anxiously, hoping that the field sorts itself out, according to interviews with a half dozen major donors or their representatives.
Many of the donors are urging the deep-pocketed groups they've already funded to begin spending against Trump, even as some recognize the potential for such spending to backfire, and are increasingly questioning the efficacy of big-money advertising campaigns more generally.
"It's unbelievable. I mean Jeb Bush spent $42 million in New Hampshire ― what did he get for it?" said billionaire GOP mega-donor Stan Hubbard, a Minnesota media mogul. "It's frustrating."
Several donors expressed frustration that the establishment candidates and the super PACs supporting them spent considerable time and money attacking one another ― and not Trump ― in the run-up to the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary.
Perhaps as a result, many donors who supported candidates who have since dropped out appear inclined to wait until after the Feb. 20 South Carolina primary to pick a new horse.
Wisconsin roofing billionaire Diane Hendricks, who gave $5 million to a pro-Walker super PAC and is being hotly courted by supporters of both Rubio and Sen. Ted Cruz, intends to wait until the cluster of primaries and caucuses on March 1 ― Super Tuesday ― before backing another candidate, said sources familiar with her plans.

PING!
It’s The Art of the Deal.
For Donald Trump this is like a business deal.
He is buying up GOP stock and it’s a hostile takeover.
Sorry GOPe, sorry faux conservatives, you are losing the company. Better get out your golden parachutes. ;-)
TAKE BACK AMERICA. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. GO TRUMP!
LOL!
I love it!
Go Trump!
Trump is amazing to watch. It’s like a perfectly choreographed performance.
The filthy rich elites are frustrated that they can’t buy our votes. ha ha ha
Please add me to your ping list. Thanks. Go Trump!
Thread won’t be complete until some Cruzers swing by to insist that Trump is the establishment favorite.
Okay!
5...4...3...2...1
Trump just continues to amaze ...
Welcome to the party, pal!
Poor billionaires, they can’t buy Trump and they can’t beat him.
Freedom is so annoyingly messy.
Drives elites nuts.
Gee, what could a former Walker supporter, roofing billionaire possibly want from Cruz and Rubio?
Obviously, the want someone whom they can control/get something from, but Trump KNOWS that game and isn't going to PLAY! It's way past time that they all wake up and smell the coffee; it IS going to be Trump!
It’s new media. Don’t need all that money. L
Trunp also manipulates the old media into covering him.
