We can only hope.
There are signs that Jeb Bush’s fundraising juggernaut is losing some momentum, after banking a stunning $120 million for his campaign and super PAC in the first half of the year.
A prominent Florida donor backing Bush said the former Sunshine State governor and his supporting super PAC are having to work even harder to keep up the pace, as hard-money contributions have been harder to come by in recent weeks.
“The debate performance scared a few people,” said Brian Ballard, a Tallahassee lobbyist backing Bush. “But I think the campaign’s trouble raising money right now is not because of his performance, but there’s some donor fatigue after that $100 million. I’ve been on some donor calls and it’s a hard sell for hard money.”
The post also mentions that Jeb is whining about Trump to his donors. It probably never occurred to the Little Prince that he might have to work for this.

It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch of people.
Looking at the graph I saw yesterday, most all of his money was from PACs. There was very, very little in the way of candidate-raised money from private donations. He’s just a RINOGOPePACCoC Wizard of Ozetto.
Would you donate $100,000 to a candidate who was the odds on favorite 6 months ago but now is only at 8% with another candidate (Trump) dominating at 40%? More and more of these GOP fat cat donors will see it as a lousy investment, as money thrown down a rat hole.
Cruz Campaign has more hard money and cash in the bank than Bush Campaign.
And Right To Rise and Bush Campaign are in turmoil with furious donors and fingerpointing between Mike Murphy and Sally Bradshaw blaming each other for Jeb’s collapse in the polls and fundraising.
This is too good.
Another great thing about Trump is that he helps Cruz because Team Cruz can continue to raise money and not have to spend any money on advertising like Kasich, Christie, Walker. So Team Cruz can continue to build his bankroll without wasting money on ads.
They are an arrogant lot, aren't they? Has it occurred to them that the problem is extremely unlikeable Jeb?
Jeb Bush is a concoction of the very worst of American ideals in my opinion. He doesn’t value our sovereignty, he values the feelings of our opposition too highly, and he is generally an unpleasant, uninspiring and unqualified facsimile of what we need now. He is made from PAC money and backstabbing Republican establishment duplicity.
There isn’t anything genuine about him in my estimation, unless you want to consider his true love - Mexico. He doesn’t represent a damned thing I value nor will anything he says or does or accomplishes cause me to vote for him.
Jeb Bush = Awful
Mike Murphy = Awful
Sally Bradshaw = Awful
Wonder how linda grahms fund raising is doing. You can always donate at fund-a-pander-bear.coN.
¡Yeb! has spent half his time campaigning in a foreign language to foreigners and they wonder why he’s dropping in the polls?
He has made it clear his loyalty is to Mexico and Mexicans, not America and Americans.
We do not wish to abandon the rule of law.
We do not wish to surrender our country to fraudulently documented foreigners.
We do not wish to become North Mexico!
“The post also mentions that Jeb is whining about Trump to his donors. It probably never occurred to the Little Prince that he might have to work for this.”
Sums it up nicely.
I got a fevah, and the only prescription is more Kasich!
JEB is taking donations of 3.00 a pop to a raffle for VIP tickets to his appearance on Colbert.
Good cartoon, but I will feel much better when Jebbie is at Lindsey Graham’s poll rating.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago Who wants the endorsement of a guy (@EricCantor) who lost in perhaps the greatest upset in the history of Congress?
