Hillary Rodham Clinton and Jeb Bush, two establishment candidates with long-polished fundraising machines, are poised to finish the first half of the year with the most donations in a crowded 2016 presidential campaign field where the money chase is the first real primary.
Republicans Ted Cruz and Ben Carson — relative political neophytes compared to the current bearers of the Clinton and Bush dynasties — also have exceeded expectations with their early fundraising.
The rest of the field has its work cut out for it in a race that analysts say will require candidates to raise in the nine-figure amounts to stay competitive.
“If you want to be in the top tier, you probably need about $100 million. First we thought roughly $50 million, but then we realized there was a lot more money out there than we thought,” said Ford O'Connell, a GOP strategist who worked on Sen. John McCain’s 2008 campaign....

And so the media continues to hunt for something Bush leads in.
This is all so sad.
Double up if you can folks.

Hillary’s the lesser evil between her and Yeb Bush.
The Congress would resist passing the very same things they would roll over for for Yeb.
We Must Elect A President Who Will Stop The Invasion.
No More Amnesty Candidates
They are both too evil to contemplate.
With a bush in charge of the wh there would be zero opposition to the destruction. Much like after gop e took the congress and left bony and mcc in charge. Full speed ahead with their masters’ plan. Who ever that is. It is NOT we the people
The bushes are the only republicans who seem to be able to get the White House and still not represent the electorate. People know this. They don’t know they know it but tgey know it. the bushes are like a husband’s bad golfing buddy. Something is just not okay
The bushes don’t beat the clintons at this game. Not head on anyway
"I have 9 BILLION."
They’re still giving to Jebbie; the American people will never learn.
Bush is raising more than $51 million in three months?
From whom?
What does he owe them?

If it’s Bush v Clinton - “what difference does it make?”
Then pick one and stand
Perfecto
Indeed
He takes the RINOhood crown with little competition. Fat boy and Rube, but that’s about it.
Will be soon. Gotta bump FR.
Congress probably wouldn’t resist. Remember 2016 is a presidential election year, so all of the Low info voters who wouldn’t normally vote during a non-presidential year will come out and vote Democrat. Depending on how many seats are up for grabs in the house and senate, the Republicans could potentially lose control of Congress.
