Jeb Bush refuses to say whether he is considering dropping out

As rumors swirl that Jeb Bush's presidential campaign is collapsing, he refused to say whether he would remain in the race if he placed poorly in Saturday's primary in South Carolina.

"I'm going to work as hard as I can till 7 p.m. I'm not going to feed the speculation of people who have no clue about my campaign," Bush told reporters after greeting voters at a polling place at an elementary school in this tony island hamlet.

Bush, accompanied by his son Jeb Jr., Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and other supporters, skittered around this state that political observers have said is key to his chances of reviving his campaign. But polls show Bush, the former Florida governor, in fourth place, and recent reports in Politico cited donors concerned about his legacy if he continues his campaign and campaign staffers sending out resumes.

Jeb has “got a lot of really cool things I could do.” I think it’s past time he start doing some of those really cool things.

He is a horrible candidate but if he were to say he was going to drop out before polls start then not only a horrible candidate, but a stupid candidate too.

The comments he did make will sink him.

I don’t mind at all. I was just saying that if he literally said he was dropping out before polls start it would be really dumb. What he said was dumb enough but MAYBE not enough to change his ardent supporters. It would be interesting if the polling ended up like something like this

Trump 30
Rubio 20
Kasich 15
Cruz 14
Bush 11
Carson 10

Probably quite a nightmare for the primary and ultimately the GOP.

I suppose we will all know in about four hours. By law, or by agreement, I noticed they don’t release exit polling until the polls are closed.
