But nothing they have tried so far has lifted Mr. Bush's terrible poll numbers. And with just four weeks remaining until voting begins, Mr. Bush needs to do something to save his candidacy.

It may be too late: Other campaigns appear to have counted him out altogether.

They must be joking. Bush is dead as a door nail. Trump killed him off two weeks after announcing. His whole presentation is weak and uninspired. The more he is exposed the worse his numbers seem to get. He reminds me of the guy at our local grocery store who retrieves the shopping carts.

The problem is the candidate himself. Jeb! comes across as a juvenile, or worse, like a jerk.

And what’s worse that they don’t realize, between Trump causing these elitist sycophants to reveal themselves, they have not just ended their chances in this election but for all elections going forward...they have destroyed themselves at last.
