@kausmickey Jeb isn’t relevant any longer.
@kausmickey I can’t believe Bush is still in the picture at all. What’s the appeal?
@kausmickey Another agenda-driven poll – no data supplied. Trump is drawing thousands to his rallies, Cruz dozens to hundreds.
@kausmickey how about directly attacking cruz?
Why does The Donald have to worry about Cruz? Wouldn’t that be the most favorable match-up for him over the whole course? Blue states are included after all. i am surprised at how favorably Iowa Repubs view The Donald all things considered in that poll.
@NeverUMike @kausmickey for Trump the appeal is that more people in the race, the better. I think that’s what MK was alluding to, right?
@caseymmartin @kausmickey the appeal for Trump, sure. He has a minority of support, so the more contenders, the bigger his slice looks
Looking at it another way, Jeb lingering in the race helps Trump more than anyone. When will Jeb take the hint?
@kausmickey
@kausmickey the MSM’s main job right now is to make trump and cruz fight.
@kausmickey Iowa isn’t too important for the R nomination (it is for the Dems). Trump has a stronghold in the SEC.
@kausmickey I think the Trump family dog deserves public support & praise rather than Jeb.
@NeverUMike @kausmickey Jeb campaign intrigues me. I think there’s space for establishment candidate (?) but looks like he HATES all this?
@kausmickey This is great. Let Trump and Cruz destroy each other so we can get on with nominating Rubio and actually beating Hillary.
@kausmickey Trump says “6 months ago, I was the establishment.” What will he be 6 months after election?
