Jeb Bush came at Donald Trump with everything he had, turning in his strongest debate performance to date just as much of the party was threatening to tune out his flagging candidacy entirely.
He dismissed Trump as a "chaos candidate" who would amount to a "chaos president," said the billionaire had "crazy" ideas about foreign policy and suggested Trump learned about foreign affairs from the Saturday morning cartoons.
And, two campaign sources say, Bush may be willing to go even further than he did on stage.
Prior to the debate, senior Bush aides began looking into the possibility of making a clear break with Trump - potentially with the candidate stating that, if Trump were the nominee, Bush would not support him.
The former Florida governor didn't go that far but the option may still be on the table. The Bush campaign has already examined whether such a statement would disqualify him from certain state primary ballots, some of which demand that candidates sign a loyalty pledge declaring that they will support the eventual Republican Party nominee.

Jeb Bush is SUCH an a@@. It’s really pathetic having to listen to the blathering drivel from this cretin.
The EMPIRe Strikes Back
Geeze!
Not getting support from Tippy Toes Jeb is really going to hurt/not
I wouldn’t vote for Jeb either.
Go Ted!
I did and it didn’t come up.
Leave please.
I was really hoping he was going to appear with a pair of stilts concealed within nine foot long pantlegs.
So who is being thin skinned now?
Didn’t the paper they all signed say that they will not bolt the party and support the nominee?
Not keeping your word, Jeb! ?
Hasn’t he been saving something along these lines for several weeks now? Honestly, I am not following him all that closely except when forced to during the debates (and even then, I am tuning him out).
saving => saying
If true, Jeb should withdraw now. Although his support will not mean anything in a general election, it shows him to be unfit for even the primary.
JERK! -— and everyone knows it. Establishment momma’s boy complete with silver spoon.
Your pledge to not support him would be an endorsement to his supporters, but you're too dim to figure that out!
I was really hoping he was going to appear with a pair of stilts concealed within nine foot long pantlegs.
He did. And an empty suit and a stuffed shirt.
He was pathetic. I almost felt sorry for him. But not quite.
So I’m guessing this stratagem will be broadcast only in Spanish, huh?
The entire GOP establishment has committed to getting this fool nominated. And if they can’t get that, they’ll f@ck up a Cruz or Trump nomination with a brokered convention where they can retread Romney - maybe even Jebito in some parliamentary trick. That’s why they’re keeping all these piss ant candidates still in the running.
They think they can screw us out of a free choice and we’ll still take it up the keester and vote for their quisling. They have another damn think coming. I’ll see that party burn to the ground first. No more. Not one more time.
