Jeb Bush Blows Away The GOP Competition In 2016 Fundraising

By Matea Gold February 13 Jeb Bush’s money juggernaut is far eclipsing the efforts of his would-be rivals for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, putting his two political committees on pace to amass an unprecedented sum of tens of millions of dollars by early spring.

The former Florida governor’s overwhelming dominance in the race to line up financial backers has come at a speed that has impressed longtime Republican money players, who say wealthy party backers have rapidly migrated to Bush since 2012 nominee Mitt Romney decided against another White House run two weeks ago.

If jeb wins the GOPe primary, I’m voting for the dem candidate, and I’m calling the local GOPe precinct to tell them that.

The big money is getting on board to push Jeb ahead of anyone who might upset the Washington DC gravy trains

what is it the big donors like about Jeb?

Jeb is the type who will bend to their wishes.

$$$$$ doesn’t necessarily mean votes, unless you are a Rat.

Ok. Simple but probably correct. ( and I wonder if the donors have any particular Interests in mind now - or are they just putting their boy in there because they figure they’ll come up with things for him to do ?). The last thing we need is another controlled clown puppet. Jeb doesn’t read off a TelePrompTer, does he?

Ted Cruz has as much chance to win as Newt Gingrich did. Notice Newt isn’t in the running this time.

Jeb Bush murdered Terri Schiavo.

I will not vote for him, even against Hillary.

We do not need an unrepentant murderer in the White House.

Yes, I know Hillary is an unrepentant murderer, too, but she didn’t commit her murders in public.

Calling the local GOP probably will not help. We all need to try to find contact info on Jeb’s backers and contact them. Let them know that their money won’t buy our votes. Also contact Jeb’s campaign and let them know that conservatives will not vote for Jeb. They need to get the message that we are fed up with the GOPe.

“Ted Cruz has as much chance to win as Newt Gingrich did.”

Na, Newt had to much dirt and garbage on him. No
comparison.Maybe Santorum. Who would you have compared
Reagan too? At one time he was in the same shoes as Cruz
with the media and his own party and even a Bush for
competition. Honestly I think were going to get a Bush
no matter what. Just like we got a Romney. The candidates
we get in 16 will be the candidates we have been getting
sense Reagen, a lying liberal and a lying liberal who
says he’s a conservative republican.

“Yes, I know Hillary is an unrepentant murderer, too, but she didn’t commit her murders in public.”

HaHa HaaaaaHaHA HaaaaaaaaHaHa in public BwaaaaaaHaHa.

Your point is there’s not much difference in the two on the
issues and even murder and your right. What I found funny
was the public part. They were both committed in public
but one got vast media coverage and the other didn’t.
The difference is TheBeast is partially responsible for
a lot more deaths than Tardson Bush.

The big RAT donors know its cheaper to send token funds to Bush than try and beat a Cruz/Walker ticket in 2016.
If I can figure out in 10 min about 20 ads which would bury Bush, the Clinton Machine will tear him to pieces.

He sent out a call to his globalist, one-worlder, internationals crony capitalist buddies. If this parasite is nominated and elected they will be back later with their hands out looking for special benefits at your expense.

Watch how fast the MSM support for Jebbie evaporates once he gets the nomination.

So rather than spending $50,000 per vote Bush can now spend $500,000 per vote. I doubt that Bush can buy many votes of rank and file conservatives.

Back when GWB was running the first time, his early stockpile of cash steamrolled over the primary campaigns of Dan Quayle and Steve Forbes. People were fooled by GWB's rhetoric, and with no DC voting record he was able to present himself as a conservative.

The nation would be a very different place today if a Quayle/Forbes (or the reverse) ticket had become president.

Other than the chattering nabobs of negativism, who gives a fat rat's ass?

Jeb Bush, and his love of communism core education, and amnesty for all of his illegal relatives, and friends of relatives, disqualify him in pubbie primaries.

Jebbie can't win {in the words of obama, PERIOD}
