Not so much a lifeboat, as a means to wreck Trump.
Then they are free to destroy Ben Carson, and Jeb Bush gets pushed to the top. Once the most popular non-GOP-E candidates are taken care of, the rest will start dropping out, leaving Jeb in the best position for the nomination.
Why else would we even have 14 candidates?
To me, Trump is the last chance for America to escape the grip of the DC Cartel.
Bush and Clinton are the two sides of this cartel, and they are both playing for the same team.
And that team does not include us.
Go Trump!
I agree. Until Trump got in it I was just preparing for CWII. He is the only thing standing between us and a revolution. IMO.
