How is Jeb ever going to win a primary? Oh, he might win an Open Primary where the Democrats can vote, but where else?
The plan was never for Jeb to win primaries.
They know he could not possibly enough to win.
The plan was for this 17 man rugby scrum to deadlock and throw it to the convention, where Jeb could be nominated by insiders in a formerly smoke-filled back room.
RE>Oh, he might win an Open Primary where the Democrats can vote
I think Trump would win an open primary hands down. He could win if he also ran on the Dems ticket. He could also win as a 3rd party. Trump has the ear of America even with the total liberal and conservative media out to destroy him.
Bush = dead fish
Rubio = squish
Trump = delish
Cruz = we wish
