Watching the Sunday talk shows, if I didn't "know" that Jeb Bush was considered washed up, I would have thought the other campaigns saw him as a real force in Tuesday's balloting.
On ABC's "This Week," both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio laid into Jeb. Trump countered Bush scoring points on him in a Saturday night debate exchange on eminent domain. Rubio, meanwhile, felt the need to get to the right of Bush on abortions during "crisis pregnancy" scenarios.
Bush has been left for dead by pundits in recent weeks and months. The seeming front runner status he enjoyed early in 2015 a memory, it's almost as if there has been a re-calibration and now the pundits underrate him.
We've seen the stories about donors waiting for the green light to jump ship from his campaign. The conventional wisdom is that they would, perhaps, move to Rubio, heir apparent to the establishment line.
A funny thing happened at Saint Anselm College, though. The big losers of Saturday's New Hampshire debate were Rubio, nailed by Chris Christie for his repeated recitations of his 25 second anti-Obama speech. And Trump, whose only play was attacking the booing crowd.

Trump is, I think, more than doubling Bush’s and Rubio’s combined numbers in Florida.
Too many don’t like Trump.
I see him as a wrecking ball, and I’m okay with that.
Looks like the “Go Away Kid” to me...
Dead cat bounce? So far no sign of it
I'm a Cruzer that is OK with Trump and I love Sarah.
When did she announce her candidacy? I missed it.
That would require Bush and Cruz winning enough delegates to count. That’s not happening.
NO.
He has a very slim chance at playing Ned Nederlander in a remake of the Three Amigos.
Bartender: We don't have beer. Just tequila.
Ned Nederlander: What's tequila?
Bartender: Uh, it's like beer.
Some of the lines may be re-worded for Jeb:
Ned Nederlander: One time, Dorothy Gish was visiting me on the set of “Little Jebby, Grab Your Green Card”. And she came up to me and she looked me in the face and - I'd never met her, I'd just known her on films, you know, Dorothy Gish, Lillian's sister - and she looked me in the eyes and she said, “Young man, you have got it.” And. Ah! Dorothy Gish. It's a true story.
ole down syndrome jeb is on a roll!
Yes and FNC, they were pimping Little Jebbie this morning when I turned the tv on for morning news. Seems they have given up on their previous GOPE puke the Rube and ran back to the Jebbster and his mommy. The RNC won’t be far behind pushing for the joyful turd head.
The establishment both sides will go down guns blazing for Hillihag and Little Jebbie. Although I fully expect plan D for the GOPE leftist is that lovable KingFu Fighting Son of a Mailman!
I’m voting for Trump for numerous reasons, not just our messed-up immigration system!!!!
