No. He’s not knocking out Yed Cruz
Nothing would surprise. Barry, the Clinton’s lawn jockey, rode the Trojan Horse Hillarycare to the finish line.
It seems that the only polls showing Bush as a contender are FoxNews polls.
Most straw polls and ‘local media’ polls have Bush in the lower single-digits.

Polls at this stage are meaningless until all wannabes have announced and the debates start.
Too many of the ‘polls’ are commissioned by concerns who pay for a desired result to push the popularity of their desiree.
I’m inclined to believe this, just like Newt in 2012.
I doubt that Trump will stay in the race to the end, but until then, more power to him.
Trump is not necessary to the obvious high attrition rate of candidates we will see over the next 10 months or so.
I think most of these “candidates” are in it to raise dough, pay themselves a good salary, and then spread the remainder around to eb little kingmakers.
A field of 25-30 candidates on the GOP side is absurd.
When you have more clowns than the circus, you are in trouble.
Either that, or Trump really wants to be president and thinks he could do a good job given his business experience
He's unafraid to speak his mind and he DOES lay out particulars (not all, of course), about HOW he will accomplish such things like .. stop China, Mexico etc., and recover the greatness America once was
He IS, BTW .. IMO ... the only one who is constantly using the words "return America to her greatness" ... or words to that effect.
There isn’t a chance in hell of that blowhard winning the election, but yes he is a dangerous distraction that primarily benefits Jeb. He’s the only one that dares say what the rest of us think about illegal immigration and other hard right issues, siphoning off support from the other conservative candidates, leaving Jebbie with the rest. Wouldn’t call it a conspiracy though, just Trump’s ego that is motivating him to run.
Seems silly. He’s attacking Jeb’s #1 issue, illegals. I don’t see how that helps Jeb. And I don’t think it’s a surprise that Jeb’s numbers have fallen, especially since Trump got in the race.
With Trumps enormous ego I don’t see him playing patsy for anyone. He’s in it because he is egomaniacal enough to think he’s the best person for the job and stupid enough to think he has a chance.
Many are in to either a) have their pet issue recognized, or b) run for veep.
He has damaged George W’s dumber brother more than anyone else. If anything Trump is making the dufus wilt faster.
That pretty much describes everybody on both sides of the aisle.
Yes, it is like beauty pageant contestants all vying for the runner-up positions.
The campaign finance laws give these clowns a lot of leeway on how the money is spent after the campaign is ended. A lot of this is driven by big egos that want to be “seen” and to be in the spotlight.
This GOP field has become unmanageable. It will be a hoot to see the dropout table and how long each one survives.
And most of them aren’t even worth a bucket of warm spit.
I hope Trump has a blast with them.
Would like butter on your popcorn? ;)
It makes perfect sense. Those who place a high priority on anti-immigration would not support Jeb anyway. He is there to suck up (conservative leaning) votes from candidates other than Jeb. He doesn't have a chance in hell of getting elected and he will likely drop out once enough candidates have been eliminated. Just like Newt.
Considering Trump has given more money to Dems and hits Bush hard plus remembering Ross Perot’s contempt for the Bushes in 1992 when he helped the Clinton’s split the vote for a 43 percent popular vote win. Perot ran as a third candidate again in 1996 splitting the anti-Bill Clinton vote (won with 49 percent pop vote).
What I’m trying to say is its plausible that Trump is a disrupter sent in by the Clinton’s.
Trump has never proposed an immigration policy or a resolution to the illegal immigration problem.
I am betting if one would poll the under 30 years olds, Jeb might get 4 votes.
