Trump is far more Populist than any of the announced conservative candidates. He is more likely to take votes from Jeb than from them, because he's not a conservative ideolog.

Trump styles himself as an anti-establishment candidate. His populist appeal with take some deluded votes away from conservative alternatives to Bush in the race. So in the end his candidacy, like those of other vanity candidates like Carson and Fiorina, will only help Bush.

I get it that you don't like Trump, but at least be honest about him, his message is right, you just don't happen to like the messenger.

Trump's message isn't right because he doesn't really have a message. He's done a 180 degree about-face on just about every single issue over the years: from pro-gun control to against it, from pro-abortion to against it, from Democrat donor to Republican donor. Will those who like him for what he's saying now still like Trump when the winds blow the other way, and there's more fame and controversy to stir up by posing as a liberal again instead of as a conservative?

“Trump’s message isn’t right because he doesn’t really have a message.”
