He sees Bush as undeniably the strongest, most viable candidate who could pull the party together after a bruising primary and take on a formidable Hillary Clinton, sources said.

I had to double-check to make sure this was not a satire piece.
If this were not so depressing I would be chortling.
Their world view tends to be centered on money and fundraising. With the ability to build a strong organization second. They figure that if the money and org are there, everything else will fall into place.
So to them strength = fundraising prowess and org development. Under those assumptions, then yes, Jeb Bush is going to be the strongest candidate.
However I’m thinking that the big fundraising issues they’re having this cycle are opening their eyes to money and org just being the enablers to bring out a base well motivated on policy and ideological stances.
