FWIW, I thought the strategy was to run "favorite sons" in a lot of states, who would get the pluralities in each one. Then they could've all gone to the convention and coalesced behind the despised Jeb. Maybe they're staying in the race hoping Trump will falter or he and Carson will split the outsider vote and the NRC choice will get a plurality in their respective states. That's why they're still pushing so hard to find an issue to turn people off about Trump.

Just a thought.

Barbara must be working overtime to find a successful strategy for Jebbie.

That sure seemed to be true with Graham. It doesn't work with Rubio, who really wants to be president, and he is in John Ellis Bush's home state. It was not true with Walker, who thought his time had come. I believe that Jindal is running for VP, which he can never admit.

I was extrapolating from the past, but the state-by-state favorite-son RINO looks like a more promising strategy for them now.

Good insight!
