El hombre has been had.



Jeb Bush just couldn’t help himself.

After weeks of being needled by Donald Trump, Bush broke down and gave Trump his favorite thing of all: a fight. And, not a fight over substance. A fight over ego that Trump knew from the beginning he would win.

Trump is an empire builder bulldozing his way to the White House, to hell with anyone in his way. Jeb is the spoiled crown prince flabbergasted a coup is being attempted on the family palace. Trump is storming the gate. And, one can picture Jeb talking to himself in the bathroom mirror, giving himself a half-hearted pep talk to rise to the occasion.

Is there any need to debate how this story ends?
