Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson says Jeb Bush doesn't need to notch a win until the Feb. 23 Nevada caucuses in order to remain in the 2016 fight for the Republican presidential nomination.
Thompson, who endorsed Bush in early October shortly after his home state governor Scott Walker ended his campaign, argued to U.S. News in an interview that Bush has the organizational muster to sustain losses in the first three nominating states and soldier on.
"He doesn't have to win until he gets to Nevada and Super Tuesday. He's the one person with the ties to the establishment and the organization in every state. There are Bush people in every state, whether it be for the father Bush, the younger Bush or Jeb," Thompson says. "Other candidates have to start showing victories in Iowa and New Hampshire. Bush doesn't have to have that. He's got the luxury he's got enough money to continue advertising. Jeb doesn't have to win the first three states."

You are right on the money. The consultants are rolling in dough, but they want this to go on as long as possible.
His campaign commercials are hilarious.
“PICK A WINNER JEB” #PunctuationMatters
Jeb! can lose as long as he stays in, each and every time.
Note the assumption in the title. It assumes that Bush is going to win in the end. The guy is Inevitable, even when he is in the low single digits. Can you imagine how much they would be telling us that we have to get behind Jeb! as the eventual nominee if he were running at 20%?
If for nothing else, we owe Donald Trump a huge debt of gratitude for keeping that pattern from developing. There is no way they are going to call for us to get behind an inevitable Donald Trump. We are going to be told that we have to fight all the way, as we should every time.
Why on earth would you pick your nose with tv cameras pointed at you..
