About jeb campaign being on the skids is from people who do not understand his donor base. i can tell you, shep, that donor base has put together, its wide, state by state for his father, there for his brother. they are not going to leave him after the third debate. there are eight debates left some theyre loyal to bushes, and to think its own for jeb, thats mistake. >> i remember watching john mccain walk through the phoenix airport and everybody had him buried but he won the nomination. mccain...
