That analogy is certainly interesting but Johnson was much more dominant than Jeb ever was. Jeb may easily have lost even without Trump as he was a weak candidate, the wrong candidate for the 2016 GOP, lacked full establishment support and it was an open field. Johnson could be Hillary Clinton, a prohibitive frontrunner who received all the media attention but nearly undone by a base revolt and bombed the general election, blowing a likely win (for Libertarians a win being 5%+)
Yeah.

Bush and Kasich maybe should switch places.
