Two thoughts:

1. Rove/Priebus Brokered convention scheme is still in the cards.

2. Bush is now loaning money to his own campaign effective January 1 to keep the lights on through Super Tuesday.

How to block a brokered convention:

1. Candidate win 58% of the delegates

2. Top 2 candidates get way more than 58% and cut a deal to form a ticket.

2. If candidate in second balks. Then candidate one offers the veep slot to candidate in third.

it takes 1267 to win.

let’s say Trump has 1,000
Cruz has 500
Rubio has 400
Other have the rest.

Well then Mr. Trump offers Cruz the veep and if Senator Cruz says no, then Mr. Trump asks Senator Cruz for Senator Rubio’s phone number

“A Trump/Cruz ticket?”

I am betting the only reason Bush is still in the race,(Aside from a Rove and friends payday) is to get that veep slot with either Trump or Cruz at the top of the ticket.

1980 all over again.

No. Poppy Bush was the number two guy at the convention. Jeb! is at 3% in the polls...he'll have no say at the convention no matter how many billionaires pop up to throw money at him.

Trump and Cruz will be negotiating at the convention to form a ticket.

I’ve promised my better half I’ll vote for him in the Primary here in Georgia, even though I like Cruz better. Sometimes you have to take one for the team that counts.

Bailed out billionaires have more money than sense, apparently.

Yeb! is going nowhere. Waste of money.
