midnight on thursday. now to the where. it is southern california, where a facebook video shows an electric road sign reprogrammed apparently by some enthusiastic trump supporter on interstate 15. despite what pundits said last summer, there s no exit in sight for donald trump s candidacy. the when, next week, when ben carson planned to shake up his campaign operation. he said, quote, we re going to certainly be altering some things. now to the why. a bush campaign send a fund-raising e-mail today from president george h.w. bush. it said in part, republicans must nominate and then elect the candidate who is ready to be the next commander in chief. having sat behind the oval office desk, i know jeb is serious about the tough challenges we face. as for the why, it s crunch time for the bush campaign to make a showing in the early states.
his father dad. donald says my dad gave me a small loan of $1 million. it s the idea of dynasty, establishment. we ve seen it before. we might see it a third time. jeb is, like we ve all seen. he doesn t say the kind of things that grab people s attention. when he does, it s not in a good way. he makes reference to supergirl and says she s hot. it s awkward, isn t it? it s not the news you want to make as a candidate. i can only imagine his aides left are very frustrated this smart guy who has given a lot of thought about government, the only time he makes news is when he puts his foot in his mouth. donald trump does that on purpose. he is inoculated by criticisms that knock out a candidate. the old story about the bush family was george bush 41 always saw jeb as the logical rightful heir and not necessarily george w. i was reading george w. and jeb got together at this retreat. i was reading a transcript of

he s just lapping the field right now. i think trump is. trump s diversion is jeb s distraction. what does trump do? he says of course he s going to stick up for his brother. jeb should be talking about the issues. he should dismiss trump. everybody knows who has common sense about them and some experience. i lost my nephew and i was also a member of the president s senior staff. the president did everything possible to secure our nation. we got hit and afterwards he made us safer by reorganizing government. first sa and the patriot act. bill: what s the harm in
