Jeb Bush figured he didn’t need conservatives to win, and was gonna win without them.
Jeb figured wrong.
Something about “don’t count your chickens before they hatch” comes to mind, and that can go either way in this case. Jeb was counting his chickens, and in a sense, so are we (that Jeb is out).
Jeb also figured that campaigning in Spanish to primary voters in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Iowa would be a smart thing to do. Wrong!
There is already talk of changing the convention rules.
I think Jeb is toast, but remember the party is controlled by the elite donors, not the voters. Voters are a product, not a customer.
I like it.
