Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has been traveling to New York in the past month to quietly meet with high-flying business leaders to ramp up interest in a potential presidential bid, sources tell Page Six.
“He’s been meeting with groups of up to 15 people at private homes to tell them about some of his moderate points of view,” a source said.

Those who like pandering to Hispanic illegals will love Jeb Bush.
Beat me to it. Yes, the best outcome...they can take each other out in the early primaries.
Now that the amnesty sham is out in the daylight, I think Jebber’s goose is cooked too. Hard to get elected when 75% in the country are against amnesty for illegals when given that exact choice. Don’t be fooled by “Immigration Refore” being asked in the title. Reform means different things to different people. Me, I think it needs refore in the manner of deporting, permanently upon pain of death illegal entry.
Pleaeeeeease Jeb! Stay out of the Bushes. We don’t need a RINO right now. This country is too sick for a reach across the aisle bacl slapping compromiser!
Cruz/Palin or if you like it Palin/Cruz!
WHAT!?
Jeb said he wants to “...advance the cause of diversity...”?
Just WHERE and WHEN has THAT ever worked?
It sounds like Jeb needs to learn something about advancing the cause of FREEDOM!
It makes me wonder why “liberals” and “progressives” hate America so much.
When I read that momma Bush always thought Jeb should be President, I knew he was more liberal than GW. She is very liberal.
I wonder if he really wants to run, or if this is his mother’s idea.
Jeb will have the money and the endorsements on his side, but as long as Obama is running wild and keeping immigration flooding in the news, Jeb is going to have a heck of a time overcoming his record. What needs to happen is for the field to be cleared and have a single conservative run against him. He’ll get his 30% no matter what.
Well, that is one way to ensure a Hillary victory....
Ever notice that the word “Quietly” is consistently used when someone is advancing a progressive cause?
...to ramp up interest....

Jeb, howzabout you just take the exit ramp, ‘kay?
I’ve read that some of the big dollar donors are lining up behind Jeb. Some believe he is the most “moderate” (liberal) of the GOP potential candidates.
I would vote for W 10x before I would Jeb and I wouldn’t vote for W again.
He would not be a good candidate. there is too much Bush hate.

Conservatives don’t hate the Bush family. They hate us, though.
We just don’t want RINOs like this illegal-supporter.
I was once enamored of George W. Bush, and I saw him as the one to deliver us from the evils of the Clinton Infestation. Once I saw his responses to the evils of the moslems and to the shameful state of our border control, I realized that my loyalty and affection were greatly misplaced. It broke my heart.
Moderate means pro Big Government, pro Crony, and pro Ruling Class. Notice how he is doing this in the shadows.
I’d as soon vote for Hillary.
Well, in that case you’ve convinced me to abandon the potential candidates that stand by the constitution and rally around progressive republicans!
It looks likely that Romney and a few other establishment pubbies who can’t bring out the republican vote will run for potus in 2016.
That wing of the party will be well represented in the 2016 primaries. I too agree that the more of them there are the better—as they will take each other out. Anyhow inversely that’s how romney won the primaries in 2012. There was only the establishment republican romney against a raft of conservative rivals.
Nothing against the Bush family in general... but no more “Royal Families”, please.
Not another Clinton, be that mrs bill or Chelsea O’Hubbel, or Bush name on the election rolls. OR a “Kennedy”, PLEASE.
We are not supposed to have any royalty in this great nation of ours.
Attention, Canada
Better get busy on that fence. Cause if the 2016 race here turns out to be Bush vs. Clinton what’s happening on our southern border today will seem small in comparison to what will be happening to you.
