Without Trump stirring the pot, Jethro Bush would already have been crowned.

If Jeb was running in second place that MIGHT be a correct statement. But reality is Jeb’s candidacy was stillborn. Nobody but the big donors like him, he’s never polled at reasonable numbers, half the time he’s losing to Ben Carson who is not a serious candidate.

So you’re saying the grass roots can’t think for themselves and vote for who they see as the best candidate and diversion is the best choice?

RE: Without Trump stirring the pot, Jethro Bush would already have been crowned.

This is why I loved Trump, but then over time I come to realize he is nothing but a flip-flopped obfuscating big-government ... just Mitt Romney with a big mouth.

But I do thank him for taking out Bush.

Without question. The ONLY reason the eGOP has kept Ted alive is to defeat Trump.
