Seems my theory on Trump may be true?

[MountaineerWV]

I've been telling co-workers the past few months that my theory about Trump is that he knows he won't win, but knows he'll be popular enough among conservatives to get the nomination, and then will lose to his "buddies", the Clintons, in the general election. Today I had a co-worker tell me that he read where Jeb Bush has made that same claim. Could it be true?

That theory made the news rounds in October.

At this point sitting at +/- 5% in the polls Jeb should be willing to claim almost anything.

Well, considering I said "the past few months".....and I don't ever recall seeing that in any print (online or newspaper).

No, that theory was not true. Trump beat Hillary.
