Not yet, but it's getting there. I think by Thanksgiving, he'll need to make his move in the polls.  That being said, I think the nomination is still his if he wants it. He's got the $$$ and the machine behind him.  Sometimes if you're in the media's eyes too long, you go stale.  Perhaps this is a calculated strategy?

He just blew a huge portion of money on his latest ad campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire, and the money is starting to dry up plus he has been falling in the polls for the last couple of months. If this is part of his strategy, it's clearly failing.

I agree. If the race for the Republican nomination was not only smaller, but a shorter one than Jeb could easily get conservative voters and think tanks to rally behind him.

However, since not only are there way too many Republican candidates, Jeb Bush has to compete with other candidates who's campaigns are very similar-pro-life, faith, etc-which just starts to sound too similar and unoriginal to voters who are looking for something new to sink their teeth into.

Also, Jeb comes across as too awkward during the debates; which millions people around the world get to see what the Republican party has to offer for the 2016 election, and the world if they get elected President.

Which is why someone like Donald Trump comes across so popular with so many people. This doesn't mean everyone loves him, but he's able to express himself without looking like he doesn't want to be there.  

I'm still holding to my view that Jeb will not be the nominee.

My god the Bush team is delusional. Jeb will never win over the Conservative base no matter how hard you try to push him onto others. I've literally never met a Jeb supporter in real life that was a solid conservative. Go to any Conservative website and read the comment section and find a Jeb supporter. They don't want him.

Jeb Bush is not trying to win over the base, he's "losing the primary to win the general."

Well sorry to break it to ya dudeabides, but 6-9% of the primary vote won't get you the nomination....
