The real reason - they have always planned to give Jeb the nomination for the Republican party, regardless of who actually won it (Trump. I don't even like Trump, but he deserves a nomination!).

Trump and Shillary are also fat.

Because there will be a brokered convention. The establishment will pick whichever candidate they like the best, and there's a slim chance that it might turn out to be Bush.
Bush v Clinton, just like the prophecies predicted long ago.

Regardless of the reason, events will be twisted so that Clinton and Bush are the ones with nominations.
They are the CFR candidates after all. CFR candidates have won every single election since JFK.

A brokered convention is a situation in which no single candidate has secured a pre-existing majority of delegates. I highly doubt this happens.

To steal 3% from Trump
[–] jeffwingersballs 0 points 7 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago
I think it's more likely he's stealing it from Rubio.

Can't let him dominate more than he already is. At this point it is punching babies, without Bush it would be punching crippled babies.

My guess is he has nothing better to do. Dude needs a hobby.

You know...Jeb Bush is only beating me by 2% in the polls and I'm not even running.
