Jeb Bush is already laying the groundwork for a brutal South Carolina campaign against establishment rivals John Kasich and Marco Rubio.

I have been saying for weeks now all the republicans need to attack donnie all at once and keep it up until the mass attack succeeds. With him still in the race all other efforts are in vain and a waste of time. Then they can work on each other.

All that money Jeb! is burning for a 5 place finish at best is sicking. Think of all the needy people that he could have helped with that money.

Trump has pretty much neutered Bush, so essentially Bush is becoming Trump’s attack dog on the remaining establishment candidates. Now, that’s amusing. That leaves Trump free to battle Cruz.

Jeb's strategy is taken from the gas fight scene in Zoolander:

Jeb turned out to be a real POS. It’s fun watching the Florida polls. He’s getting beat up badly here by Trump.

And if he's successful at attacking the other two, he'll then be mystified why their supporters won't rally around him.

Christie already showed that the kamikaze strategy is not a winner. Figures Jeb kind of missed that lesson.

Very good point that I think has never remotely crossed his mind.

I read the article, if that’s a scorched earth approach then it’s pretty low energy.

Pass the popcorn. Moderate RINOs attacking moderate RINOs. Delicious.

Daggone it - has anybody told Yeb! that this isn’t like golf where you want the least number of votes? And it isn’t like bowling where you stop at 300? I think the guy has just been poorly briefed.

He is still hoping Trump implodes and he is coronated by being #2. Well he is #2 but not in the race.
