A senior advisor to Jeb Bush seemed non-committal Friday when asked definitively if the former Florida governor's presidential campaign will move forward after Saturday's South Carolina primary.
"I can say we're looking forward to a good result here in South Carolina and we'll move on from there," Michael Steele eventually said on CNN after first dodging the question.
Bush is publicly scheduled to attend two events in Nevada ahead of that state's caucus: a town hall Sunday evening in Las Vegas and another Monday evening in Reno and the campaign insists they will move on regardless of the outcome Saturday.

Asked this morning on MSNBC's Morning Joe if he must finish ahead of Rubio on Saturday, Bush said he hoped to and said that result would be, "a heck of a victory given that he's basically been coronated in this political process all the way through."

If he finishes 5th or 6th with 4-5%, he’ll be out by Monday...another article mentioned Jeb staff will not be paid after Saturday...handwriting on the wall! It’s really best for him to leave...he appears very unsure and unhappy...

To win, you have to believe you can win and be filled with confidence. Even then, you may not win first place. But least you can acquit yourself with honor.
Jeb, on the other hand, has the look of a guy who knows unconsciously he cannot not win. Even his posture screams loser.
He is just taking up space and wasting good money.

Trump went to a Bush stronghold controlled by the Lindsey Graham military industrial complex, openly declared the W's Gulf War is a failure and a mistake (an open heresy) and that W lied or was too stupid to understand WMD intel and that the buck stopped at W for 9/11. He de-balled Graham as the leader of the SC party and did that while a whole auditorium was stacked against him booing him on prime time TV. And trump rose in the polls.
If this was old school Europe, after Trumps victory, the SC GOPe leadership would have been honor bound to suicide themselves.
What Trump in SC did took more than balls - it took guts.

Dream on. No. It won’t be over until whoever it is who funds him with billions says it’s over and they’re likely thinking itsafter h takes the White House. Jeb wants it to be over too, most likely. W was out there last week looking like a unstick jumping through hoops like the poodle

If Trump wins because of this lie I’m sure Cruz will cry and whine about it like Trump has over Carson’s rumor in Iowa.

Nevada 3 days later? I doubt it. He will probably leave on Wednesday.

But...but Gov. Nikki Haley endorsed him, dontcha know? Yes, and he may come in second to last and not last. What's the point, Jeb. Pull the plug and go.

I'll feel better when the GOP-E's "Anointed One" is gone.
