Jeb Bush unveiled his "Jeb Can Fix It" presidential campaign last November during a low-key event in Jacksonville, a city that at least on paper should be solid Bush country.

The city's prominent donors back him. He played a role in one of the city's major sources of civic pride, bringing the Jaguars NFL franchise to town. His son, who held a fundraiser here, attended local private school The Bolles School.

And yet it was Donald Trump who attracted thousands to The Jacksonville Landing's courtyard in October for a characteristically wide-ranging, 80-minute speech that reverberated through downtown.

All the rich country clubbers who can afford to send their kids to Bolles support Bush. Probably a lot of the Country Day and Episcopal parents, as well. But folks that have to commute long distances to work so they can send their kids to marginal, instead of really bad, public schools, or to the old seg academies aren’t going to be with Yeb! when it comes time to vote.
