Jeb Bush’s money juggernaut is far eclipsing the efforts of his would-be rivals for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, putting his two political committees on pace to amass an unprecedented sum of tens of millions of dollars by early spring.

The former Florida governor’s overwhelming dominance in the race to line up financial backers has come at a speed that has impressed longtime Republican money players, who say wealthy party backers have rapidly migrated to Bush since 2012 nominee Mitt Romney decided against another White House run two weeks ago.

Gee that is great. I don't care if he has a hundred billion trillion dollars.

My vote isn't for sale.

While the donor class seems increasingly intrigued by Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, enthusiasm for Christie has dimmed, according to major GOP contributors and bundlers across the country.

“Everybody says, ‘Bush, but I like Walker,’’ or ‘Walker, but I like Bush,” said one senior party figure, who declined to be named to describe private conversations with donors. “I don’t hear anyone saying Christie.”

Let's be honest, all of this is so that Jeb can pocket 1.2 - 1.8 million from campaign contributions when he eventually walks away after losing. Worst part of it, all of the rest of the cash will be spent tearing apart fellow Republicans. Giving to Jeb is just like giving to Hilary.

Can all that money bring Terri Schaivo back to life?

NEVER FORGET!

Thats because Democrats are contributing to it.

Maybe out of love he should stand at the border and hand out those donations to all the illegals streaming into this country.

The NAU/NWO crowd has a lot of money.

STAY - OUT - thr BUSHes!!!

[Cry if I Wanna]

My bet is that he has built a formidable organization with that money, enough to knock out most of the other candidates. Our only hope is that someone can rise above him regardless of his money and power. The Bush family is incredibly wealthy. They usually get what they want.

LOL! Appears the dems do NOT have a lock on the IPOS/SPOS. But we knew that.

This works as well as it does because a lot of folks just vote for “whoever they have heard about the most.”

[VideoDoctor]

The OLD mentality Bush is operating by does NOT include the fact that we've reached a point with real Conservatives is that we are NOT buying a "B" product, even if it has an "A" marketing team and lots of money behind it.

NO MORE BUSHES!

[A CA Guy]

Hopefully he can carry it off a pier somewhere along with his bid for President.

Stay out of the Bushes. Two was enough for my lifetime.

[HiTech RedNeck]

stay out the bushes???
