NYT CNBC ^ | 10/31/15 | Maggie Haberman and Nicholas Confessore

One of the wealthiest and most influential Republican donors in the country is throwing his support to Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, a decision that could swing millions of dollars in contributions behind Mr. Rubio at a critical point in the Republican nominating battle.

The decision by the donor, Paul Singer, a billionaire New York investor, is a signal victory for Mr. Rubio in his battle with his rival Jeb Bush for the affections of major Republican patrons and the party's business wing.

Last week, Mr. Bush's campaign manager, Danny Diaz, and senior adviser, Sally Bradshaw, flew to New York to make personal appeals on Mr. Bush's behalf, in the hopes of heading off an endorsement of Mr. Rubio, according to two people close to the former governor's campaign.

No hay differencia...Rubio is Jeb Bush lite...or actually, short.

The GOP-e will be satisfied with either one. If Bush-e drops out, Rubio-e will easily pick up the sword and run with it....with backing from the establishment. We're already seeing the Rubio build-up in the media-e as Jeb's star rapidly fades.

Still a little early to see what will happen, but at least we know what the establishment's scenario actually is.
