Bush donors not panicked
Politico ^ | 9/29/15 | Ben White

BUSH DONORS PANICKED? — Not according to several M.M. talked to this week. Would they like poll numbers higher? Sure. But there are still several months to go before any votes are cast. Said one: “Team Bush is not panicked. Trump tried to channel Jeb today on taxes, but he can't get into the weeds. Rubio is expanding the map but has no staff. Cruz is … .well, still Mr. Congealiality. Bottom line, Jeb is the only grownup with money, a message and organization. Time is, as the Stones say, on his side. … Jeb's fundraising prowess is such a threat because he has more serious fundraising surrogates than everyone else on the R side, probably combined.

“43 is a surrogate, Laura Bush is a surrogate, Barbara Bush is a surrogate, Columba Bush is a surrogate, so are Jeb Jr. and George P, plus others, each of whom can swing well north of $50K an event. This is a structural advantage that far outweighs the negative of the Bush name, especially given the reality that the Rs may be running against Clinton Inc, the most formidable money machine in history.”

En Espanol, everyone. “And Hillary is going to be more humorous and spontaneous and likeable - stay tuned for exactly where and when in what venue.”

If The RNC delivers the amnesty candidate that they owe The Cheap Labor Express, I will vote for Hillary.

No need to panic if the game is rigged.

Why does this feel just like one of those third-world finance minsters publicly proclaiming "our currency is sound", and then the next day the country devalues it?

Same feeling!

He will never beat Hillary Clinton.

I would not support Jeb or vote for him if he became the GOP nominee.

I’m sick of one more Bush for President.

From author Ben Blanco: Bottom line, Jeb is the only grownup with money, a message and organization

The message doesn't resonate with the base, and no amount of money or organization will change that. I would say Yeb is despised by the Republican base.

Or when a coach is under fire gets the full backing of management which is usually the kiss of death since the coach gets fired shortly after.

Jeb's only hope of winning legitimate (ie. not fraudulent) votes is for an 'Operation Chaos' situation of massive 'Rat crossovers in open-primary states.

Let's hope the 'Rat race gets competitive so the 'Rat primary votes stay where they belong.

They have rigged the game and made thier plans around little Jebbie Bush, and are stuck with him.

The goal is now to stop Trump, and if Trump takes the nomination the Bush supporters will back the Dem in the general.

I’ll probably end up voting for one of the other candidates no one ever heard of that always seem to be on the ballot. Write-ins don’t get counted.
Sometimes my disgust with The RNC/GOP gets the best of me.
