Do we know anything that was said when Jeb met with the other Republican candidates?

I find it very curious that he would be the one to meet with them - considering he is not even in the race now.

I have always said he would be the establishments candidate. I can't help but wonder if the point of the meeting was to break the news to the other candidates that he is going to be the fair-haired boy after all.

Nobody comes in with a majority.

You go through the first two ballots and everyone holds firm for example

Trump 38%
Cruz 26%
Rubio 14%
Carson 10%
Kasich 8%
Bush 4%

One of two things could happen:

1. The convention finally breaks for Trump as the leader
2. Everyone looks for a compromise and maybe Kasich or Bush get it.
