He's stuck in the polls and just lost a major endorsement. And now voters are in open panic about the fate of Jeb Bush.
The Republican presidential candidate was barraged by conflicting advice from supporters increasingly distressed by the rise of GOP front-runner Donald Trump and that the former Florida governor's campaign has stalled.

Never has her throat been clearer...
Imminently dominated.
No, Yeb, stay. Hang in. Keep siphoning 1-2% off Rubes and Ted.
I hope Yeb! stays in until Florida. I don’t want the Memorizer Bunny getting a rebound.
Bush should never have run. All he’s done is muddy the waters, suck up the money and make it hard for the serious candidates.
I think John Ellis Bush is reeling over Nikki’s endorsement of Rubio. But stay in, Jeb - Kay’s sick, too.
if you can Handel it.
Jeb, the ninth Gang of 8.
His strategy was predicated on Hillary having an unopposed route to the nomination, allowing Dems to cross over looking to install the softest target for November. Plus they did not expect Trump to be so strong.
Unfortunately for the Bush camp, Hillary has turned out to be so weak that Dems are voting (both for/against her) in their own primaries /caucus.
Jeb had a shot, but all the presumptions turned out to be wrong.
If Trump wasn’t running Bush would be crowned already, which is why he ran.
Trump simply Trumped him, unexpectedly.
He supports his version (slow walked) amnesty for illegal aliens, and even gave entire speeches in espanol.
He supports Commmon Core, which makes all students equal by pulling the bright ones down.
How could he not be in first place?

Without Bush at the start, I think one of the saner candidates (Cruz or Rubio) would have defined themselves and moved ahead. Trump has been a massive distraction, and since he’s self-funded, he can pull any stunt he wants and never really had to worry about Bush.
Bush was unpopular from the very start, but he (like McCain and Romney before him) was determined that now it was “his turn.” They all felt entitled to run for President just because they’d been around politics for awhile and had run or considered it before.
Only Rove is dumb enough to think Jeb would be the nominee.
That’s very true. Bush was supposed to be running against Hillary or thought he would be at any rate. Even so, he was very unpopular from the very start, although he was able to raise money as the “annointed one.”
Trump also Out Christied Christy
I wonder how much money Rove has blown sense 1980?
The thieving RINO consultants will stick with Jeb! until the money runs out.
Poor little rich boy. Maybe he can get a loan from Soros.
