He seems lethargic and dispirited most of the time. Trump, on the other hand, adores publicity, and he won't hesitate to kick Jeb! in the nuts every chance he gets.

Mentally ill Jeb will be nominee but he won't be president.

because all Jeb did was show stuff everyone else knows. Trump has the obvious Reagan comeback. It also gave the chance for Trump to once again point out Jeb's last name and connections. Its also much more recent.

I think they will rally every resource they have to get him the nomination. Poppy might be too frail at this stage, but I wouldn't count Babs and sneaky W out yet.

And I think sooner or later, trump will start to wear out his welcome. He is a novelty now, but his bragging and bravado aren't enough to go the distance when the serious voters start going to the polls.

(Fingers crossed on trump. )
