This summer Jeb will be nominated by the GOP in a brokered convention when they meet. Book it.
Only if no-one gets a majority of delegates. If Trump somehow gets the nomination wrapped up via the delegate count then the GOP would have to be raving mad to step in and try and derail him at the convention. It would be a PR disaster of the first order and would cause a civil war within the party - and would guarantee victory to whoever the Democratic nominee is.

if either jeb or hilliary get elected i think it will be painfully clear even to the sheep that the game is rigged and i think could possible lead to a physical revolution. i hope the USA wont lay down and accept being spat in the face again.

Pundits can say what they will but no one....NO ONE....expected this. To be honest, I expected in some way for him to lose by 15 to Kasich in some crazy power surge. If that would have happened, we would know, that they have control of everything. But what this shows us is that there is a veil of fear and it is being pulled back. Like the Wizard of Oz, a big scary monster telling us what to do and it is controlled by a scared man behind the scenes. People are angry...and broke. Not a good combination.
Right now the GOP is trying to figure out a way to stop Trump. Bottom line. Now that you have basically what will be 2 more out you have a better playing field. Kasich shot the moon in NH and without a win, he will coast out of the way. Bush....this shows you whose family dynasty is bigger right now. Hilary can lose by 20% but more delegates and Jeb has to settle for what amounts to nothing. It would be like coming out 2 bucks ahead after a wild night of gambling. That money was thought to go to Rubio and he is imploding.
This has got to be one of the best GOP races in decades.
