Jeb Bush is preparing to embark on an experiment in presidential politics: delegating many of the nuts-and-bolts tasks of seeking the White House to a separate political organization that can raise unlimited amounts of campaign cash. The concept, in development for months as the former Florida governor has raised tens of millions of dollars for his Right to Rise super PAC, would endow that organization not just with advertising on Bush's behalf, but with many of the duties typically conducted by a campaign. Should Bush move ahead as his team intends, it is possible that for the first time a super PAC created to support a single candidate would spend more than the candidate's campaign itself — at least through the primaries. Some of Bush's donors believe that to be more than likely.

This is why individual voters ONLY should be allowed to contribute money to candidates for whom those individual voters may vote.
We could stop the corrupting influence of mega-donors and get back to one-man-one-vote which is what made America a free nation.
I wonder if the Bushes and Clintons trade fundraising notes in their family get-togethers. Maybe Jeb should put Bill on the board of this super-PAC in exchange for Hillary! putting W. on the board of the Clinton Foundation, if he isn’t on it already.
The next president of the United States will not be named Bush or Clinton.......................
You’re probably right.
Unless Warren decides not to run...
The SCOTUS has already ruled that $$ is free speech and as such cannot be limited.
If only real persons were to be able to contribute, not corporations or organizations, then mega bucks would come from individual millionaires and billionaires in person, effectively buying the election for themselves and their puppet...............
Perhaps jebi is thinking of collecting Soros money.
Might be attractive to Soros... he owned the presidency for the last 8 years, and the businessman in him, recognizes the political winds shifting to an ‘R’, might as well buy a dem-lite as his ‘R’ man for the next 8 years.
Gee, I didn’t know that.
Did you know the courts legalized baby killing and homosexual marriage, too?
So that’s how your getting your funding Jeb ? Mooching off of
Hillary’s campaign foundation funds ?
Hillary Clinton Jeb Bush ( as VP ) 2016 bipartisan campaign ticket.. Where you have to, cover all bases all things liberal..
Unfortunately we have to live with it........................for a while longer..................pray it ends soon.......................
It’s like my dear old uncle used to say,”No matter how much money they have, you can’t polish a turd.”
Fk him and his family.
Barbara’s schtick is way past its due date as well.
She’d be happy as hell to the dynasty continue and zhd isn’t fooling anyone
How can it change if you continue to live with it and knock down anyone who tries to speak of something better?
If JEB! gets nominated, then there will be NO real presidential election. It will be a bought and paid for imperial decree.
It would be either JEB!/ HILLARY! -or- HILLARY!/JEB! for the executive ticket, and the republic will die shortly afterwards.
At least it would kickstart CWII sooner.
Only for a while. Not forever.................We both know how the story ends..................
Rhetorical: What is America gonna do if the choice is to vote for Jeb Bush or Hillary?
A billion dollars won’t make someone who hates your guts love you any more. All a billion for Hillary or Jeb will do is cover up the voter fraud they will commit.
Fully understood. But I think the question merits further thought. While it is true that we are 1.5 years away from the election, it all boils down to a little finger movement on one day off in the future. The vote of a person who thinks “wow this guy/gal is great!” is identical to the one who thinks “I am so glad this crap is over, what the hell difference does it make whom I vote for?” And every one of those votes is worth about 1.5 times the non-vote of someone who doesn’t vote. Of which there will be plenty.
