Internal polling by the Jeb Bush campaign showing Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is within 2 points of GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump in South Carolina is leading to speculation that it might be the reason Trump is going after Cruz so hard.

Internal polling by the Jeb Bush campaign showing Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is within 2 points of GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump in South Carolina is leading to speculation that it might be the reason Trump is going after Cruz so hard.
Fox News media reporter Howard Kurtz tweeted about the Bush internals on Sunday and Politco reported on them.
Here are the results, according to the internal poll:
Donald Trump: 26 percent
Ted Cruz: 24 percent
Jeb Bush: 12 percent
Marco Rubio: 11 percent
Public polls give Trump a much larger margin in South Carolina. The four most recent polls in the state at RealClearPolitics, show Trump ahead by 16 percent to 22 percent....

Poll Cat Speculation!
As the contest goes on and the RNC/GOPe keeps losing, the loser’s supporters will either get on board with Trump, or lose the motivation to go vote. Is “PLEASE, WE NEED A BROKERED CONVENTION!! YEAH!” a great rallying cry? Once there are 6-10 contests out of the way where no GOPe candidate can beat Trump and/or crack 15%, their numbers are going to start to plummet. Only hardcore establishment types will be foaming at the mouth for a brokered convention at that point; average voters are going to give up and go back to the business of carrying on with their lives.
This is Jeb poll showing Cruz gaining.
Jeb polls are desperate. Everything about Jebs campaign is desperate.
Ha! Polled the Bush Campaign headquarters and still only got 12% for Yeb!
I think we all knew it had to come to this. Two very strong candidates and only 1 can take the nomination.
How is showing Cruz gaining desperate? The GOPe hate Cruz more than Trump.
It’s also a Jeb Poll showing Jeb rising, while the rest of the polls have him in 4th place struggling.
This poll has nothing to do with the Cruz number and everything to do with the Jeb number.
It has Jeb over Rubio, and rising, which is the narrative Right To Rise want to spread.
I don’t believe for a second that they hate Cruz more than Trump.
The GOPE trying to push poll both Cruz and Trump supporters to give up on their guy or at least be unsure of how stable their candidate is. They wouldn’t release any info that they didn’t think would help Jeb and/or hurt other candidates. They’re desperate. Believe it.
Ah I see what you’re getting at now.
