Most people, including me, think Jeb Bush would be a much better president than either George H.W. Bush or George W. Bush.

Jeb Bush has all the smarts he needs, has a perfect conservative record, and left Florida with high popularity.

It won’t happen right away, but if the convention is locked up after 3 ballots, Dick Cheney will take command and nominate Jeb Bush, with establishment GOP backing. The fix is in.

Jeb is the right candidate. It’s just the wrong time after all. He needs to wait 4 to 8 years first. He’s only what? 52? So he has some time.

This can't happen because of bound delegates. A pretty significant number of states have laws that require delegates to vote for the particular candidate that received those delegates during the state's primary. Because these delegates are bound, it would be nearly impossible for someone who did not have any delegates entering the convention to be able to round up the 1,200 or so delegates that he needs to be the nomination.

This isn't like the 1800s. Stuff like that isn't going to happen. Even if it's a brokered convention, bound delegates almost ensure that the winner will be one of the top three delegate leaders going into the convention.
