Jeb Bush donors reach out to Kasich-supporting super PAC
Fox News ^ | 8/20/15 | Fox News

Posted on 08/20/2015 5:16:11 AM PDT by jimbo123

Ohio Gov. John Kasich's climb up the polls in the GOP presidential race has not gone unnoticed by supporters of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

A spokesperson for New Day for America, the super PAC supporting Kasich, told Fox News late Wednesday that several Bush donors have been in contact with the organization in recent days. The spokesperson declined to elaborate how many donors had contacted the PAC or whether they had donated any money.

The apparent shift comes as Kasich has been collecting endorsements from several key Republican players. Earlier this week, Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley threw his support behind Kasich.

However, Kasich's greatest success has come in the early primary state of New Hampshire. Earlier Wednesday, he secured the endorsement of former New Hampshire Republican state legislators Doug and Stella Scamman, whose farm hosted Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign launch.

The statist Kasich is stuck in the basement and in the basement he will stay. He will never contend...the time for yesterday’s news candidates such as him have passed.

I wonder if Lil’ Jebbie will be able to blow through his 100 mil. War chest before he bows out. He is done, no more Bushes, no more Crooktins.

This is amazing. Kasich is starting to be seen as a better bet to take Trump out of the race.

A Boston Herald/Franklin Pierce University poll released earlier this month found Kasich in third place with 12 percent of the vote. Oh, so a bunch of lefties in Boston think Kasich is great.

Then they add However, in the Fox News national poll of GOP primary voters, Kasich came in a tie for seventh with just 4 percent of the vote. So he's actually 8th in a field of 16. Doesn't seem like he's climbed much since he announced.

I'm an Ohioan who has never voted for Kasich and I never will.

What is amazing is the SuperPac donors that raised $115 million for Jeb are bailing on him and his campaign team.

“Jeb” Kasich - for when you really want a RINO but just can’t take another Bush.

A lot of Right to Rise donors are now telling Right to Rise not to spend any advertising money on Jeb and to give their money to Kasich instead.

This is too good!

Mark Steyn said is well, and I paraphrase: It is unseemly in a republic for 3 of the last 5 presidents to be from the same family.

Bush should not be considered for a variety of reasons. One of the most significant, if not the most significant, is that his name is Bush. Freedom loving peoples should fight against dynasties.

Jeb who? I’ve heard some of his sound bytes and they are absolutely atrocious as well as banal and insipid. He has a voice that is borderline feminine has not made a single comment on issues I consider anyone cares about. Well, goodbye, decrepit, no-nothing presidential dynasty.

Yeah.
Two dead in the water stinkers.
I might read the campaign obituaries later if they keep them to two short paragraphs.

I didn’t have a lot invested in GHW Bush. I liked GW Bush for the most part; thought he should have stood up for himself and his decisions more. After those two, we really need to ask what we’re doing. Are we paving the way for grandchildren and great-grandchildren?

The same with the Clintons. And the Kennedys. They should be resisted.

The Cheap Labor Express is worried that their standard bearer is flailing and failing.

Kasich and Rubberio are on deck to carry the flag of surrender of the country.
