An unusual request has gone out to wealthy donors writing large checks to support former Florida governor Jeb Bush: Please don’t give more than $1 million right away.
The requested limit, confirmed by multiple people familiar with the amount, may mark the first time that a presidential hopeful has sought to hold off supporters from contributing too much money.
The move reflects concerns among Bush advisers that accepting massive sums from a handful of uber-rich supporters could fuel a perception that the former governor is in their debt. The effort is also driven by a desire to build as broad a pool of donors as possible among wealthier contributors.
So even as Bush is headlining a series of high-dollar events for a super PAC backing his bid, fundraisers have been instructed not to ask donors to give more than $1 million per person this quarter.

Open Borders JEBBIE IS A LOSER and the “donor class” is beginning to recognize this fact. This “please limit your current donations” to $1 million is simply an attempt to fool those donors into thinking other donors are giving large sums IMHO.
Jeb is yesterday’s garbage just waiting for the garbage collectors to come and dispose of him into the landfill of bad memories.
Let’s presume here:
~40% citizens are Republican = 132million
$1B / 132M = ~$8
It could be just me, but I’m seeing the rabble even giving much...but sure as sh!t see the fat-cats giving $$BIG$$
I just don’t see the base here. Must be my eyes
It’s all a game to the establishment.
Bush isn’t going to win, or even be competitive, he’ll get at most 25% in generic Republican states’ primaries.
Don’t mind seeing globalists losing their money.
