Jeb may drop out after SC

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by one_voice (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

I'm listening to CNN New Day this morning and his spokesperson will not definitively say Jeb will continue on after this weekend.

I'm guessing he'll throw his support behind Rubio.

He's the weakest of the 4.

Even if he won the primary, he'd have zero chance against Hillary or Bernie.

Cruz has his niche but no wide electability.

US presidency from Al Gore in 2000. Now, he is a washed up, pathetic, doughy parasite who has sucked up millions in Wall Street and MIC donations.

Nice to see.

It would be even nicer to see him go on trial for fixing a national election.

After hearing some of the stupid things dough boy has said in the course of this primary, I'm fighting off the giggles when I think he has been described as 'the smart brother.'

Geez. What a worm.

I don't see it.

Jeb groomed him , Jeb expected him "to wait his turn" and then he ran against him. I just don't see it. In fact if Trump gets the nomination I expect the Bushes to sit on their hands.

We'll see.
