When Will Yeb Bush drop out?

[bobloblaw]

Tell me when.

[Mr. Smith]

Who's Yeb?

Who's Yeb?

Yeb Bush the idiot son of GHW Bush and younger brother of GW Bush

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Why would Jeb! drop out before Iowa? No way in hell would he do that.

it is just an option on the fringe

[mencken]

After Super Tuesday, after coming in fourth place in most primaries but before having to endure the humiliation of losing his home state.

Only Jeb and Rubio are capable of winning FL unless both have dropped out, and they'd vote for Jeb before Rubio.

Depends on the dynamic of the race going into March 15th

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

After Trump dominates Super Tuesday and all but secures the nomination.

Presumably the dynamics of the race will be different once a third of the states have voted.

Yeller Ellis Bush. He got rabies and had to be put down.

Yes, just like Giuliani is the only person who can possibly win New York.  Except that after being blown out of the water in the early states, he ended up behind in the polls even there, just before he dropped out.

[Fuzzy Bear]

Jeb isn't going to drop out.  He's the Establishment Candidate now; they're All In now.  They have to be.

For all of Jeb's floundering, he's gotten the dynamic of the race shifted to one of a race between him and Trump, with the rest of the pack being in a beauty contest as to who will be his running mate.  I have trouble believing that Ben Carson is really the #2 candidate, and I'll have to be convinced about any real strength Carly Fiorina has.  All of the other establishment candidates have done something to make them look weaker, and all of the fire is on Jeb, which reflects the perception of his strength. 

In a REAL sense, Jeb has managed to get through the recent period by making the race a race between him and Trump, and the GOP Establishment has to deal with this, because Trump isn't going to go away, and he's going to end up with a huge chunk of delegates.  It's not impossible to think that Trump will end up with the most votes in the primaries.  That's why unity around a single Establishment candidate has to occur BEFORE the primary. 

Who's to say, then, that there won't be a Bush-Cruz, Bush-Paul ticket?  Desperate times call for desperate measures, and if Donald Trump is the GOP nominee, the Establishment will view their National Ticket as having been hijacked from them.  The drama coming will surpass any Presidential Campaign drama in my lifetime.  I'm staying tuned!

He wins the convention (normal, sane).

It will be the most tumultuous GOP convention since 1976.  This is because Jeb's nomination will be perceived as being rammed through in a heavy-handed manner, disregarding the will of the primary electorate.

What WILL be interesting is how Trump will react.  It will be too late for a 3rd party bid, and I don't think Trump is into that.  But there will be a huge intra-party constituency that will be royally angered, and they will not look upon Jeb as the "lesser of two evils".  It will take a lot of "party loyalty" for these folks to go to the polls and actually vote FOR Jeb, even if they won't vote for Hillary until hell freezes over.

Jeb is going to win this nomination because of the party electorate and the convention will go smoothly. Maybe I'm wrong and Rubio or Walker will win. I can promise that Donald Dump and Ted Bumbler Cruz won't be given a microphone at the convention.

If Cruz and Trump are denied talk time at the convention, the GOP will have a revolt on its hands that will cost them the election.  They will be lucky if it doesn't cost them the Senate.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

This nomination year is turning into one big brouhaha

[Likely Voter]

If you want a serious answer, then he drops when his super PAC runs out of money. They have enough to last until super Tuesday so no sooner

[Oak Hills]

I still say he wins the nomination.

[pho]

No way Jeb loses IA, NH, and SC and remains viable. If he doesn't drop out then, when the establishment panics and abandons him, he certainly will after a dismal Super Tuesday.

[Bigby]

Jebbers is done for as soon as Rubio or Kasich become the establishment standard bearer.

People who are supporting Cruz and Trump now are the reason Republicans didn't win the U.S. Senate in 2010 and 2012. They gave us Sharon Angle in Nevada, Ken Buck in Colorado, Christine O'Donnell in Delaware, Todd Akin in Missouri, and Steve Lonegan in New Jersey in 2013. Luckily in 2014, those who are now supporting Trump and Cruz were unsuccessful during the primaries, and we won the general election and the majority.

In all fairness, Ted Cruz should be allowed to speak at the RNC in 2016. He's a favorite with the tea party and he is a sitting U.S. Senator. But Donald Trump hurts the GOP and the party should do everything it can to distance itself from the cockroach.

If Donald Trump gets a significant number of delegates to the convention, why should he be denied the opportunity to speak?  Because you don't like him? 

Denying Trump a speaking role in the convention if he's a viable candidate (and especially if he ends up with the most votes in the primaries) will be an insult to the voters who supported Trump.  If the GOP thinks they can just casually blow them off, they deserve to lose the upcoming election.  And the Senate as well.

Are you actually calling him Yeb because he has an Hispanic wife?

Seriously, leave our party.  Go try to turn the Democrats into your racist, xenophobic, fiscally liberal party that you have wet dreams about.
