Not necessarily. Just depends on how it plays out. If one or two emerge as strong they can squeeze Jebbie out and team up against him in the debates. If they are all weak and Jebbies has a stalking horse like last time, it helps Jebbie.
Hope you’re right. When I see one major GOPE/RINO running and about a dozen or so conservatives running (or perceived conservatives) that doesn’t inspire confidence right now. Of course things can change. But right now I think the only way to beat Jeb is for conservative grassroots activists and voters to coalesce behind a single candidate. Instead, the conservative vote will be highly diluted.
