If Bush had abjured attacking any other Republican candidate and had merely stuck to enunciating his own goals, even in his lackluster way, he would still be the presumed Nominee at the end of it all. He is throwing stumbling blocks under the feet of the Gope that wants to nominate him and is repeatedly skewing the rules to shut out any other candidate regardless of primary votes. The one thing he does not need is to become a perceived embarrassment to the Gope.

The one thing he does not need is to become a perceived embarrassment to the Gope.

Too late to be talking about that in future tense. Jeb's gone well past embarrassment territory into being a security risk for the GOPe.

Jeb is toast. Which is too bad, since he so reliably spills the beans on what's inside the Trojan Horse that's rolled in front of us every election cycle by the establishment, big government oligarchs. I'd actually like to see him stay in the race for awhile, burn through donor class cash, and continue to unwittingly serve the conservative cause by being the face of the GOPe.
