(115,587 posts)Trump's ego will not allow him to be driven off by unfavorable polls; he'll quit before that happens, offering some lame and bizarre reason that will preserve his belief in his own superiority. If that doesn't happen soon, though, ¡Jeb! (I spelled it that way because he claimed he was Latino, sort of) will drop out because the big-bucks donors who have been bankrolling him so far seem to be getting cold feet. I don't think ¡Jeb! really wants to be President; at least, he doesn't seem to have much enthusiasm for the campaign process. He now appears to be at least as dumb as his brother, while lacking W's ambition. If Trump's poll numbers are still fairly solid for the next month or so I bet ¡Jeb! will give up and quit.

Senior leadership positions remain unchanged.
The campaign is also cutting back 45 percent of its budget, except for dollars earmarked for TV advertising and spending for voter contacts, such as phone calls and mailers. Some senior-level staff and consultants will continue to work with the campaign on a volunteer basis, while other junior-level consultants, primarily in finance but including other areas, will be let go, the officials said. The officials declined to say who would be removed from the payroll or provide an exact dollar figure for the savings. (A summary of the changes, provided to Bloomberg Politics by the campaign, is posted here.)...
