What does it do to the race if Jeb Bush somehow leads all of the Establishment Candidates in IA and NH?  What does it do to the race?

Also:  there are different ways of "leading" here?  What if Jeb leads in BOTH states amongst the Establishment?  What if he does best but leads the establishment just IA or just NH?  What if Jeb doesn't lead the Establishment in either state, but leads the establishment pack as a whole?

Would this be good or terrible for the Establishment?  Jeb is the most connected and most well-heeled Establishment candidate, but he has the least Grassroots support.  How would this dynamic play out?

This is the first time I can think of where a Bush strong showing would be a chaotic event.

What happens if Bernie Sanders wins in both Republican primaries in both states, and loses in both Democratic primaries?

Then Bush will eventually become the nominee, and them later the presidency.

He won't be. He's heading for a Giuliani esque finish in Iowa. He could lead the establishment in NH but that seems less and less likely. They're still trying to make Rubio happen, but I can't see trump losing the race at this point.

I think in those cases, we might see what I had predicted weeks ago: a resurgence of Jeb Bush as the party favorite.
Right now Rubio is in position to be that candidate.  And I think he is ready and qualified.  But Jeb Bush may turn out to be the one, due to his vast network of insider GOP donors.  If the past has taught us anything, it is never to underestimate the insider candidate, who raised the most money early.
