24 Possibility #1: How Jeb Can Hurt the GOP

Donors Choose — Badly! Huffington Post‘s poll of 500 GOP “activists” shows Jeb in miserable shape. He’s in sixth place, named as first or second choice by less than 15% of the activists. Some 47%  have an unfavorable opinion of him, and more then 1 in 4 say Bush (like Trump) is someone “they’d never vote for and that they’d be angry to see nominated.” So is it possible that a) Jeb can’t win but b) GOP donors have just given $100 million to a giant “independent” Death-Star-like SuperPAC that will inevitably spend much of it tearing down the Republican candidates (e.g. Walker, Rubio) who could win? Oops.

Dueling Ceilings: Mike Murphy, who runs the giant independent ¡Jeb! SuperPac, discounts Trump’s current polls because, though he’s in the lead, there’s a “ceiling” on his support. Fair enough. Trump’s high unfavorables do suggest an upper limit on Trump’s support. But  ¡Jeb! — scorned by large chunks of the GOP — has a ceiling too, and it appears to be lower than Scott Walker’s ceiling.  According to this poll, Walker’s unfavorable rating is about half that of ¡Jeb!, though both appear to have more room to grow than Trump. …

So Walker does better than ¡Jeb! against Hillary in every Quinnipiac swing state except VA, where he does as well quinnipiac.edu/images/polling…
