Bush’s top fundraisers fear another lousy debate performance will precipitate an exodus of the big money.
Nobody is more nervous about this week's debate than Jeb Bush’s top fundraisers -- and no audience will have more to say about his future viability as a candidate.
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson knew it. He recognized the group assembled at his Rockefeller Center office in Manhattan last Wednesday was in need of some reassurance after Bush’s unimpressive performance in last month’s GOP debate, so Bush’s national finance chairman, recalled one attendee, gave a personal pledge: Jeb would be “well prepared” for the second debate this week.
He’d better be. Five-plus months before the first ballots are cast, Bush faces the kind of do-or-die moment most top-tier candidates confront far later in the primary process – a chance to revive a campaign that has shattered fundraising records, but sunk as low as 6 percent in recent national polls.
Bush, one former adviser to his father said, "needs to show he’s the tough-minded guy we know he is." If he doesn’t, the former aide added, "Well, you know, it might be over."
The Bush campaign privately thinks Bush’s slow-burning fuse – evidenced on the golf course and in sometimes-testy debate sessions – has at long last been lit. But the biggest fear, expressed by Bush allies, donors and party operatives to POLITICO, is that another lousy debate performance will precipitate an exodus of the big money ($100 million-plus in super PAC and campaign cash so far) that has kept the former Florida governor afloat despite his dismal poll numbers.

His best bet is to rail at him in Spanish.
Trump won’t know how to answer.
There are only two people in the race who have people on the edge of their seats - Trump and Cruz.
America will not vote for a Mexican.
Not by himself. With a gang of GOPe lackeys lined up in front of him like so many pawns, maybe. Trump needs some pawns.
NOPE
Two words to El Jebbe by Trump, “You’re fired !”
I would LMAO.
:D
His speaking Spanish makes me ill.
He is not even trying to hide where his loyalties lie.
No, next question...
Contrast the difference:
Jebbie shouted down and scuttles out
Trump exits Ramos.
I have come to think Jeb just isn’t very bright.
Wow,,look at the sleaze-oids over at POLITICO pretend to care about Jeb’s chances..hahahaha. What a joke!
LOL. Melania probably taught him a,few words of Slovenian,, so he could answer Jeb in Slovenian if Jeb hits him with Spanish.
Jeb is gonna come out swinging tonight! (Swinging his purse, that is...) I can hear it now: “I’m a conservative! No, really, I am! Honest!”
Trump will be just fine....and have fun doing it....
Ha....Trump can handle that with no problemo....
From his book "Trump...the art of the deal" (published in 1987)
Page 185 /186...
"I have great respect for what the Japanese have done with their economy, but for my money they are often very difficult to do business with.
For starters, they come in to see you in groups of six or eight or even twelve.,
You may succeed with one or two or three, but its far harder to convince all twelve.
In addition, they rarely smile and are so serious that they don't make doing business fun."
So Trump has been dealing with this type of situation for about 30 years.
He will do just fine in the debates today...and have fun doing it.
Any other questions?
¡Yeb! should do the whole debate in Spanish.
He loves Mexico and Mexicans.
Why is he running to be President of the USA?
Oh, that’s right, he wants to turn the USA into North Mexico
