although a brilliant business man, he must lack in intellectual capacity or he would realize if he could control his emotions he would have a better shot at winning.

I agree with you that he would probably love to "do in" Jeb....however, he's a part of the good ole boy's club. Caught a Fox interview - on that week we won ACA and Marriage Equality in the SC. Trump said that he had "already been called" about not playing nice with Jeb. Ergo....Trump will not hurt Jeb. Not because of dislike but because he will play the game. He knows he won't win - so why damage the repukes?

Personally...I think his numbers are gonna come down - and that the polls are lagging. How could they not? This is unfortunate because the more crazy they can show, the better off we are.
