Poor Jeb! The one time frontrunner, who still has a ton of cash and many highly paid consultants has found a new low. Now, he’s accusing political outsider and GOP frontrunner Donald Trump of the unthinkable. As Gawker notes:
Jeb Bush has suffered at the hands of Donald Trump, who has taken special glee in taunting all of his weaker opponents in the Republican field, but especially so the one-time presumed frontrunner from a previously untouchable political dynasty. Today, Jeb revealed what might be his final attempt at felling the orange beast: perpetuating the conspiracy theory that Trump was planted in the GOP race by the Clinton family.
This conspiracy is extremely delicious, though for obvious reasons not-quite mainstream. Still, the idea that Trump is purposefully sabotaging the Republican race has been percolating long enough that we covered it at-length back in August.
Jeb! is sitting at between 4 and 8 percent in the polls, so this is understandable, but it’s curious coming days after one of his top donors admitted that if it came down to Trump and Hillary in the general, he’d support Hillary. Stories like this just reinforce for members of the grassroots that in a Bush/Clinton election, Americans have no real choice. Jeb’s numbers indicate that most have already made up their mind, whether they support Trump or not. Instead of slandering the presumptive nominee, maybe Jeb! should consider dropping out.
