It’s actually a better strategy than engaging Trump. They’re still assuming Trump will self-immolate at some point, or that eventually the media will come to their rescue. My odds are 70% he won’t and 30% he does self-immolate.
Bush’s hardcore supporters will never go for Trump, but they may flee if they see Bush’s ship sinking.
Trumps appeal? He talks like a teamster after a long hard day of work, sitting at a bar and having a Budweiser long neck.
Jeb’s problem is that his donors and supporters are switching to Rubio.
Attacking Trump doesn’t benefit Jeb. Trump’s supporters will go to Carson and Cruz before they go to Jeb.
