If JEB! ran as the only real "protest" vote against Trump, he would be guaranteed at least 30 to 35 % of the disaffected primary vote as the fallout from the Mueller investigation, etc. diminished Trump. If in the end the GOP then decided, once JEB! is safely the only other viable primary option besides Trump, to throw Trump under the bus in 2020, JEB! will be the one standing to take his place as the nominee.

JEB! would need to enter early enough to dissuade from running the only real problem for him and
that strategy, and that would be Nikki Haley. He would need her to stay out and then agree to be his running mate should he be there to take Trump's place.
If something like this were to happen, would JEB! stand much of a chance in the general election?
Probably not, but you never know when a Bush is on the ballot. If you think you saw a lot of Republican voter suppression and fraud in the last midterm election, in places as diverse as Kansas, North Dakota and North Carolina, you can't imagine what you would see if they had a chance to put another Bush in power, and Brett Kavanaugh would be there to help out from the Supreme Court bench if needed.
