I don’t have a good prediction as to what Jeb will or will not do >in the event< he gets smoked by Cruz, which I don’t think is any sort of foregone conclusion. I don’t know Jeb, I don’t have much of a feel for him, if any. At present, I regard him as sort of a Romneyish character in the sense that I don’t think he especially has the fire in his belly to run a super competitive/aggressive campaign. I think he is a momma’s boy who thought up to now he would waltz in and take the office without any big sweat. He does not seem like much of a fighter.
Nevertheless, these people have hundreds of millions at stake and do not intend to go away quietly. Though in the end, I believe that is what Jeb will do. It would not surprise me at all to see him, at the end, throw a lot of support to whomever he believes can sabotage Cruz’ campaign. If that’s a Democrat, no big deal for such a principled man./s
I think Jebbie is much stronger than most on our forum think. Uninformed Republican primary voters recognize him, and that matters.
