It’s obviously denial, what’s the next stage, negotiating?

He keeps reminding us how other candidates in other elections were not leading at this point and went on to be crowned the nominee. Scary.
To: bestintxas
Clear and to the point from AT. Like it.
To: bestintxas
Negotiating. He saw Ingmar Bergmans movie.The Seventh Seal, but this time Jeb wants to play the hooded Grim Reaper.
To: bestintxas
Jeb is in the Star Wars stage.

You know, it is not just Bush who is undergoing this process. The entire cabal around him, that is, GOPe, is doing it together. I think GOPe is in stage 2, anger, while Bush may be in stage 3, negotiation. Neither has reached the stage 4 yet, the full-blown depression.

The establishment refuse to acknowledge that illegal immigration is determining who is ahead.
They still act like people will just forget all about it and switch to RINO!

Jeb has that complete ‘loser’ look in his eyes,
He cannot believe voters dont see how completely perfect of a GOPe candidate he is,
Surely hes the most presidential and stands up taller than all the others,
To: lee martell
play the hooded Grim Reaper With goofy smile and a Mexican wife. That lightens up the movie a bit, I think.:-)

Is it really a loss for someone who does not want the job?

This brings up an important point.
I believe that Trump will survive and win the nomination. That said, once won. Will the GOPe continue to fight against the winner if its not one of their people?
A fractured party will lose.
That is why I think that there might be better running mates out there. I think that Trump when the time comes will pull in Rubio as VP in an effort to shore up the GOP’s fractured elements.
If even after that if the GOPe try to ruin the campaign....then we go to option #2
Pitchforks and Torches.

Until he makes “the speech” he is in denial.

I know lots of people here will be very unhappy about that. Still having Rubio as VP may have to be given some consideration. Of course after Trump winning a resounding victory. The victory has to be convincing in order for this card to be viable.

He’d ruin his chances of winning the general by picking an amnesty pimp. Pretty sure he knows that.

See the “Jeb Relaunches His Campaign” thread above.
Doubling down on denial.
To: captmar-vell
At least Romney looked like a President - I can't imagine anybody seeing this guy as White House material.
