People should not underestimate the GOPe or Jeb Bush! The Republican Party has the game rigged (with open primaries) against conservatives. Jeb will likely have strong support in blue states. Do not count him out. He’s got the money and support to McCain us!
Trump will do far better in open primaries than Bush. People like to compare Trump to Perot, but they forget most of Perot's support came from independents and democrats. Trump will do very well among those voters, many of whom would never vote for a GOPe candidate, especially one named Bush.
Perceptive. That will be the battleground that represents Jeb's citadel: Blue states, with open primaries and winner-take-all scoring.
New Yorks, New Jersey, Illinois and California, etc. will be Jeb's for the asking.
Thats why Trump will not promise to not run 3rd party. You cannot trust the RNC.
