While the Iowa, NH, and SC caucus and primaries are getting all the attention, let's not forget Super Tuesday, 1 March 2016, when 13 states hold primaries. Then, throughout March, April, and May the rest of the states hold their primaries.

Primaries require a ground organization to: (1) Fulfill each state's requirements for getting on the ballot, and, (2) getting out the vote. For all his personal weaknesses, Jeb! has the backing of the GOP organization and they can get out the vote.

I expect Jeb! to fold, but, I'm not by any means counting him out and Trump in.
