Top Jeb fundraisers leave campaign amid troubling signs

Three top Jeb Bush fundraisers abruptly parted ways with his presidential campaign on Friday, amid internal personality conflicts and questions about the strength of his candidacy, POLITICO has learned.

There are different versions of what transpired. The Florida-based fundraising consultants — Kris Money, Trey McCarley, and Debbie Alexander — have said that they voluntarily quit the campaign and were still working with Bush's super PAC, Right to Rise Super PAC. Others said the three, who worked under the same contract, were let go because they were no longer needed for the current phase of the campaign.

None of the three immediately responded to requests for comment. Bush spokesman Tim Miller would only say that “Governor Bush has the widest and deepest fundraising operation of any candidate in the field. Ann Herberger — a longtime aide with more than two decades of experience in state and national politics — will continue to lead the operation in Florida with our team in Miami.”

One source attributed the departures to personality conflicts in the campaign, some involving Bush's finance team.

2016 is not going to be the year of Bush/Clinton.

Jeb will be replaced in that spot by Kasich, who is actually fairly competent and at least wants to run.

A little trouble in the El Yeb and his Bush family adopted sister-in-out-law Hellary’s campaign. No more uni-family rule in the uni-party politics here in the USA.
Trump/Cruz

You’re absolutely right. But Kasich is the John Huntsman of this cycle. And he’ll go nowhere fast.

People like kasich and Linda Graham KNOW they are non-contenders....they get to bolster their war chests for their next race in their current incumbent status.

Might be good news for the republic, even if it’s bad news for dynastic succession.

I have read of staff and fundraisers leaving the Perry and Rand Paul campaigns. Neither candidate is above the margin of error in polling and it is probable both will drop out before year end. Bush has enough cash to run through the primaries. He may drop out if he continues to do poorly in polling to avoid embarrassment. Every candidate is waiting for Trump to stumble.

Not too soon—we want to split the RINO/Establishment vote as long as possible.

Bush Campaign has less hard cash on hand than Cruz. Bush Campagn expenses are out if control and fundraising has collapsed. Right to Rise is burning through cash and their fundraising has collapsed, too.

The beginning of the end. We should have a pool on who quits first: Perry, Bush, Walker, Graham, Santorum, .... so many.

“questions about the strength of his candidacy”

GOPe / RINO anointed candidate, weak?

Say it ain’t so!

Those rocket scientists used super computers to arrive at the best possible candidate named “Bush!”
