It may be the Summer of Trump, but the publicity-hungry real estate magnate is not the only Republican presidential candidate relishing all his attention.
Donald J. Trump

Translation- the Gop-e and Bush are supported by the Whigs at 10-15%-- and now they're whistling past the graveyard.
I completely agree.
Bush is doing terribly now. Awwww.
In contrast, ¿Jeb only picked up 3,500 followers in the same time period. Almost a 20:1 ratio in favor of Trump.
That just tells you right there where the momentum is in this race.
Trump is Bush’s ace in the hole.
“I think this is a temporary loss of sanity,” Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky said on CNN Thursday of Mr. Trump’s support, “
Time to wake up Rand.
The establishment has declared war on the base of the party for their corporate masters. Trump is the result. People are fed up with DC inside baseball ruling their lives.
Baloney.
Just saying.
Who wrote this article? If Vin L didn’t write it himself, then it looks as if we have a copyright violation here.
Jeb’s role: big wet blanket?
Must be using some geniuses from his Dad’s second run and the Dole, McCain and Mittens campaigns.
But for the moment he is depriving many of the other 16 Republican candidates of the political oxygen they need to win attention from grass-roots supporters in early nominating states and commitments from fence-riding donors.
That mainly helps Mr. Bush, who can quietly continue to build his daunting advantages in money and organization while his would-be challengers struggle to break through.
This doesn’t make sense to me. How is Jeb buildng if the O2 is being sucked away? How is Jeb building if he isn’t including the ‘grass roots’?
This seems like a ‘silver lining’ spin that has no foundation.
I agree.
No credits for the article, it appears.
Did you write this, or is it an article from someplace? no link, was wondering.
And, btw, I do not think Trump is Jebular’s ace in the hole. Trump spells Doom to the Repuke establishment, and about damn time.

Jeb Bush’s Camp Sees an Upside to Donald Trump’s Surge in the G.O.P.
Trump has set the Republican Party on fire, and if you’re going to put that fire out you don’t have time to waste. You’re going to have to grab the biggest blanket you got and throw it, and right now that’s Jeb.”
Yep, the biggest wet blanket in politics, that’s our ¡Yeb!

Just so we’re clear, the fire they are worried about is the people getting the idea that the illegal alien inundation can be stopped.
That is the idea that sparked the brushfires in minds across the country.
Yeah everyone loves it when they’re getting their butt kicked right Jebby?
I agree.
There are two segments of the GOP. One segment represented by Bush and most of the gang, are all for selling every American job to China, and allowing illegal immigration to destroy our country from within.
The other segment represented by Donald Trump and Ted Cruz want immigration controlled, and Donald Trump wants us to stop selling out our own country.
I completely agree with him on this. And he seems to be the only one saying anything about the loss of millions of formerly American jobs, to the largest nation on earth.
Even Cruz isn’t standing firmly for American jobs. Nobody except Donald Trump (and whatshisname, on the left)
Nobody.
Sorry, messed it up— Thanks for the help.
Ha! It’s called an UPSIDE YO HEAD, dumbasses.
IF, and it’s a mighty big if, IF Trump was to say something/do something stupid and crash and burn...
I can Gauran—blankin-TEE you, the people supporting him now are NOT going to suddenly start saying, “Gee, maybe I should give JEB a try?”
Laughing Out Blankin’ Loud, Drivebys!!!!
Bush is doing terribly now. Awwww.

The writer describes Bush as "thoughtful."
Myself, I describe Bush as simply too dull for my tastes.
I/m sorry, but if Bush is somehow elected president, it would be four years of the dullest, most uninspiring presidency of any presidency in American history. Sorry, Bush. But that is the way I feel. I can't help it.
