Jeb’s whole strategy was to pull a Romney; be the only reasonable establishment guy and let all the conservatives split their base votes. Didn’t work this time; Trump resonated with the base and others.

Jeb thought all the other establishment candidates would drop out and they’re all splitting up the moderate pie.

Trump has scooped up the rest and Cruz is getting the conservatives.

I think that was the strategy with the GOPe running 42 candidates. Then Trump came along and upset their apple cart.

But but but like 5 people have said that Cruz is definitely going to win the nomination.
