Politico reports that establishment Republicans worry that Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign is now “little more than an ego trip.”
“With the former Florida governor now sitting stagnant in the middle of the pack and his super PAC ratcheting up its attacks on Marco Rubio, a growing number of Republican centrists are coming to view Bush’s campaign as a distraction — one that could hurt their ability to keep the nomination away from Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.”
