Will Jeb Bush win the Republican nomination?
Washington Post ^ | 1/31/16 | Aaron Blake

Posted on 01/31/2016 2:45:45 PM PST by jimbo123

This look at Jeb Bush's chances and path to win the Republican presidential nomination is part of a series here on The Fix looking at all the top candidates.

Where does he stand in the polls?

The former Florida governor began the race as the odds-on Republican front-runner, and the early polling backed that up. He led most every national poll conducted in late 2014 and traded leads with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, among others, early in 2015.

Then, the race actually began. Bush launched his campaign in mid-June, and by mid-July began a steady decline. While he topped out at around 17 percent, most national polls now have him stuck in the back of the pack, around 5 percent.

The picture is about the same in Iowa. In New Hampshire, he does slightly better, coming in around 10 percent with a bunch of other candidates essentially tied for second place. That still leaves Bush in a jumbled race of non-Trumps, but it does appear to be his best hope for a state to win.

How has he performed?

Bush's campaign has been the most underwhelming of the entire race.

“part of a series here on The Fix looking at all the top candidates” -— Then they shouldn’t be covering the Jebster. He often doesn’t even have 5% in polls.

Let’s hope his son - George P - is retired next time around in Texas with the rest of his family.

Why ask the question? He’s just mooching off his donors at this point.

The NYT-WP-BG axis is hell bent on either Bush or Kasich winning the Republican nomination. In a pinch, they will settle for Rubio or Christie. Anyone else (especially Trump or Cruz) and there will be a cosmic hissy fit until the general election.
