that is the way I see it also, but again, time will tell; It would also not be out of the question to see a Rubio/Kasich ticket. Oh the fun of an election year or in this case, 13 months.

exactly: if they show up to hear him doesn't mean a thing, if they do not show up, it means something.

My money is still on Bush. Because, like Romney, he will be the last guy standing after the carnage.

I believe Jeb will get the nomination. Republicans like the Bush family. Americans will feel most comfortable with him. He seems like your typical politician. Did a few good things in Florida. Might be OK with taxes. When it comes to actually voting, I think Bush gets it done.
Bush would probably be the safe and boring vote. That's not getting much attention now.

It will be close for the nomination between Rubio, Bush, and Kasich that's for sure.

Even if Bush has the money, he has nowhere near enough popular support.

But then again, Mitch McConnell will probably work behind the scenes. Good for you, Mitch. America does not need this narcissist bonghole to be our leader, we are not N. Korea.

Drop to Scott Walker levels, plummeting not that he would drop out if he falls in the polls. Donald Trump will bail from the race if his poll numbers drop to Scott Walker territory | Daily Mail Online

Bush is at "make or break": It Maybe that is why the brother showed up because not a lot of harm could be done by that and maybe it could help.

I am split, Bush vs Rubio.
