Trump, whom Bush fans everywhere will tell you is unelectable, is at 38/58 favorability among registered voters, essentially identical to Jeb himself. In fact, Trumps numbers among independents here are slightly better than Jebs. Hes at 36/60; Bush is at 30/62. How often do you see a poll, as in the Bush data above, where a candidates popularity among Republicans is the inverse of his popularity among indies, not Democrats? What exactly is the argument for Mr. Electable again?
Thats not the only metric where Trump trumps Bush. Unlike Jeb, Trump is at least well liked by parts of the GOP base.

lol Brutal indeed.
However, don’t underestimate the GOPe. We do EVERY time and we get screwed EVERY time.
Bush is tanking yet, there is still so much crying and handwringing. He isn’t going to get nominated. Sights should be set on a viable candidate.
Only an idiot would think the country wants another Bush presidency. So of course that’s what the GOPe thought.
I don’t think it will be so easy for the GOPe to slip in their hand picked milquetoast this time.
Trump has bypassed the usual circular firing squad
That is creepy, and funny, a la Dr Demento.
I wonder if one of their holding companies like El-Busto or whatever they called it got into the IT business and they had their hand in someones server farm... Oh Gosh wouldn't that be a hoot.
Yes the stoopid party will mess up the free lunch.
Yes is numbers are as bad as Hilda's, maybe if she isn't wearing an orange jump suit they can run Indy under the title of the "Establishment Caucus"....
For the rest of the field.
I have yet to meet a single person who names Jeb as their choice. I don’t understand how he’s second behind Trump in all these polls.
“I have yet to meet a single person who names Jeb as their choice. I dont understand how hes second behind Trump in all these polls.”
The media lies. They create the narrative. Truth be damned.
Until¡Yeb! has folded his tent and withdrawn, he is still the presumptuously presumptive nominee of the GOPE.
The Cheap Labor Express is not going to give up.
If ¡Yeb! fails they have Kasich, Rubberio, NJFatBoy, Huckster, Fiorina, Grahamnesty, La RAza Rick, Pataki, Paul.
Notice how much coverage Rubberio is getting the last couple of days?
They know ¡Yeb! is toast. There is no credible way to make him the nominee.
Jebbie can still be nominated no matter his ratings, but he can never win the election no matter what. Even Barbara Bush will be tempted to vote for HRC.
Oh Jebbie we hardly knew ya...
I’ll remember “Interview With Mr Jaws” as long as I live. It’s a trip to hear songs I’d forgotten about when I hear that clip.
What a clanking tin political ear he’s got. He has no clue.
Say, wasn’t that from the “Fish Heads” video?
