Jeb Bush: Delusional or on a political suicide mission?

By Rob Janicki

What exactly is Jeb Bush trying to accomplish?  The message is as clear as mud to me.  If Jeb believes that somehow he can salvage a losing campaign to ultimately win the GOP nomination, he may be more than merely delusional.  He may be severely schizophrenic or worse yet, he may be engaged in some form of suicidal roulette with Donald Trump.

It's been said that Jeb is attacking Cruz and Rubio big time to eliminate them through internecine fighting, all in order to line himself up against a final Armageddon of sorts with Donald Trump.  If this is true, Jeb seriously needs professional mental health counseling.  It's just plain crazy.  

If Jeb does not understand reality, then let me point it out to him.  The Bush brand name is worn out.  Two and out is enough of the Bush brand name for most Americans to deal with in a generation.  Voters are running away from political dynasties, witness the falling numbers of Hillary Clinton.  Combine that with Jeb's lack of visual charisma and you have a losing candidate with no chance of winning the GOP presidential nomination. 

It should have been a clue for Jeb to observe that he has squandered more campaign money than any other Republican candidate or combination of Republican candidates.  Combine the failure of results in the spending of campaign funds and the continuing low polling numbers racked up by Jeb and a rational person would be compelled to acknowledge that Jeb is flogging a dead horse.  Wishing for a result contrary to the facts on the ground is, at the least, delusional.  Destroying other GOP candidates in the process of satisfying one's political ego is unconscionable, yet Jeb is doing exactly what he accuses Donald Trump of doing.

Jeb's plan can only result in a high probability of a Trump victory as the GOP presidential nominee.  In no way can it result in a Jeb victory.  It's time for Jeb to stand down and return to Wall Street as a political consultant for the hedge fund mangers and brokerage firms looking to maintain their influence with the DC insiders.
