Jeb Bush to Hold Fundraiser With Father, Brother
Wall Street Journal ^ | 8/20/15 | PATRICK O'CONNOR

Posted on 08/20/2015 7:55:45 AM PDT by jimbo123

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is bringing out the big guns for his next donor summit, turning to his father and brother to headline the event in Texas this fall, according to a copy of the invitation.

Former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush will be the big draw at the third major-donor conference Jeb Bush has organized to raise money for his 2016 White House bid.

The Houston gathering, dubbed the “Jeb Celebration,” illustrates the pros and cons of Jeb Bush’s famous bloodline because it is sure to draw legions of donors loyal to his dad and brother while rekindling voters’ concerns about electing the son and brother of the last two Republican presidents.

Donors must raise at least $50,000 by the end of September to score an invitation to the exclusive event, which will be held in Houston on Oct. 25 and 26, and $100,000 to get a photo with the former presidents, according to the invitation.

Looks like the last stand of someone going nowhere but hoping to ride the coattails of yesteryear:-)

He’s got a lot of dough and a lot of Democrats to vote him to the nomination.

Underestimate him at your own risk.

Is he trying to lose on purposes? Maybe he should get his mommy to campaign for him.

Proof enough that when the Bush Family gets in trouble, they run back to mommy.
I guess the FL $$$ has all dried up.

Well let’s have a celebration for a man named Jeb
A portly RINO gov, looks like Chelsea’s daddy, Web
He ran cross the plains touting plans for amnesty
When up rose the cries from the partiers of tea

Americans, that is
Right wing extremists

So George said “Hey, Jeb, let’s go meet some millionaires
So you can buy some ads to blow the others out of there
I think that up on K Street is the place you oughta be
So he loaded the Lear Jet and he took his family

Shills, that is
D.C. Fools
C-SPAN stars

Let me get this straight, a guy who for almost 7 years has not a peep to say about the guy he is responsible for being president feels it necessary to now come and speak on behalf of his brother who is running against some real conservatives and a liberal GOPer who is espousing what most in the country believe. Please say it ain’t so, Joe.

Read our lips——no more Buuuuuuuuuuushies. He can’t even buy ‘illegals love’. Sorry Jeb you ain’t the one.

Ignoring the optics - this is the WRONG thing to do.

Jeb’s action will cement his image as “Bush , Bush Lite, and Bush Liter”.

I don’t know about other Republicans but that is NOT what this voter will vote for.

Jeb - stand on your own two feet (aka tell your dad and older brother to take a hike) or get out of the race - NOW!

Look the Bushes are a wonderful family with the boys truly in love with their dad, something that is good to see.

So much for a good, exemplary family. They are a political disaster and are Socialists all.

I am praying for a competitive democrat primary to keep the dems in their own pasture.
The more they fight each other, the less time and energy they have to meddle in the republican primary.

I want to see each dem candidate have to vigorously defend themselves in each state.
Lessens the chance for a Mississippi redux.

Is he trying to get his big brother to beat up Trump for him? That is so dainty.

Because 114 million wasn’t enough. Jeb’s really getting desperate when he is willing to be photographed with “W” and Poppy.

Is this to remind us that it’s his turn?
