Jeb to donors: You're not done

Bush team lays out new plans to entice donors to pony up more cash. On the list: Cocktails with Columba.

Less than 24 hours after Jeb Bush revealed an unprecedented war chest, he and his top campaign staffers gathered donors at the family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, to let them know that $114 million is not enough.

This weekend’s invitation wasn’t just a reward for the roughly 200 major donors who helped Bush amass a just-announced record fundraising haul — although, as one attendee said, “there was lots of high-fiving.”

It was a reminder that, with the Iowa caucuses still seven months away, this is just the beginning. Bush’s operation doesn’t plan to sit on its massive cash pile, but to keep adding to it.

According to sources who attended two days of meetings at the Bush family’s picturesque seaside compound, the Bush team outlined a number of ambitious new incentives for donors including one called “Eight for Eight,” tasking major bundlers with signing up eight new supporters to make a maximum $2,700 contribution by Aug. 8.

Jeb, you are not going to be the next U.S. President. Deal with it.

He knows he’s not going to be President.
He’s the designated loser this time around.
His job is to prevent the citizens from electing anyone who will stop The Cheap Labor Express.

As I noted elsewhere, with Trump in Jeb is FINISHED - he just hasn’t quite figured it out yet. Consider the possible outcomes:

1) Jeb wins the Republican Primary (somehow), but will DEFINITELY be in a 3-way race in November, against a 3rd Party conservative running on a Border Security platform. The best he can hope for is 2nd place.

2) Jeb loses the Republican Primary (more likely)...

Kind of dumb, now, for any donors to waste their money on him - he will NEVER get into the White House, at least in 2016.

Jeb is a worthless extension of the Bush Clan!

Invade Iraq.

Smart move.

It is getting more appalling every day. Mainstream Republicans DO NOT WANT the Jebster. The way he handled Terri Schiavo's nightmare is prohibitive.

The elite's attempts to force-feed us Jeb reminds us of how McDaniels won that primary but Cochran is still in the Senate. Same deal with Murkowski. And the beyond-the-pale treatment of Trump's candidacy? It's all to much to comprehend, worse than our worst nightmares about how out-of-control the powerbrokers are.

If Jeb had an ounce of decency, he'd drop out.

Yeah, the only way Boosh gets to see the White House is on a tour.
