Several pillars of the Virginia Republican establishment have signed on with the flailing presidential campaign of Jeb Bush.

Thomas F. Farrell II, CEO of utility giant Dominion Resources, and Richard Cullen, chairman of the influential law firm McGuire Woods, have endorsed the former Florida governor, the campaign will announce Wednesday.

Former House majority leader Eric Cantor joined the campaign as a co-chair in August, but new to the list are his longtime chief of staff Kristi Way and his right hand within the state party, Linwood Cobb.

Really? Fat Cats endorse the GOPe’s favorite son, JEB!, thus sealing his failure with conservatives. Which one of the Three Stooges is running that campaign?

Just finished reading “How To Bag A RINO”. Good book on how Eric Cantor and Linwood Cobb were defeated.

As ‘someone’ famously said, “At this point, what difference does it make?” Or some such BS.

Well, that does it. He’ll get Washington DC’s 19 delegates for sure, now.

30+ years ago I knew an old Bircher who claimed Dick Obenshain was murdered by the VA GOP and I made fun of him.

After the Ollie North and Cuccinelli betrayals, I wonder ...

The VA GOP is a soulless mob. I just wonder what they’re capable of.

Heavy Hitters= Den of Thieves.>>>>>>>>>>>

May the whole lot of them disappear in their own puke.

Mr. Trump has his work cut out for him, and he deserves our complete support to rid the nation of this eGOP curse.

The Washington Post is reporting this as if it’s going to change people’s minds. They’re stuck in this time-warp, like the time when the media breathlessly reported the NY Times’ endorsement of Mondale and then declared that it was over for Reagan. More proof just how absolutely clueless both the media and Jeb is when it comes to the conservative base.

Va GOP is changing rules and circling the wagons for Bush.

Unfortunately, for Yeb, it won’t help.

US Chamber of Commerce is out in force.
Cheap labor is the name of their game.

They realize they are going to need a new roof or some concrete work done.

The desperation. Evidently the establishment GOP are giving up on Rubio and still see Jebbie as the best chance to stop Trump and Cruz.

Or...they feel they can somehow "take out" Trump and Cruz, leaving their boy as the only one standing.

The fight for the nomination is about to get very nasty. Best possible result is for Trump and Cruz to dominate the results, freezing out the GOPe completely. I want to see Jebbie totally humiliated.

Jebbie, you are grasping at straws. Go home to mama Jebbie, you will never be president. Call it a day, a year, a lifetime, you will never be president. We have had one too many presidents named Bush already. Read my lips......

This guy is starting to remind me of the Last Emperor. His ENTIRE COUNTRY (China) is lost to the Japanese. The Japs come into his palace, disarm his guards, but leave him there, for propaganda purposes.

The Japs tell him not to worry, the elimination of their weapons means nothing, and he just believes it.

Bush seems to have NO CLUE as to how much Republican leaders are DESPISED by Republican Primary Voters, and he SERIOUSLY THINKS that Eric Cantor, OF ALL PEOPLE, will be somehow be able to coax Republican voters into supporting him.

One can only FEEL SORRY for him, at this point. He really needs his mommy to tell him IT IS ALL OVER.

It's 0100 hours on April 15, 1912. The best engineers in the world could not have saved the Titanic, even if they had been on board. Ain't nobody going to save Jeb.
