Bush Campaign Targets Rubio as ‘GOP Obama’ to Donors

'Rubio and President Obama have strikingly similar profiles'

If there was ever any doubt, there isn’t anymore. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush sees the campaign of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as the major obstacle between himself and the White House, and he’s willing to take the fight to his former protégé.

Bush’s top advisors delivered a presentation to assuage concerns about the campaign’s tumultuous three months at a summit for the campaign’s top donors in Houston Monday, delivering an optimistic look at the path ahead, and a sharp blow to a top rival.

With a PowerPoint slide-deck as a guide, campaign manager Danny Diaz, senior advisor Sally Bradshaw, communications director Tim Miller, and other aides went through the campaign’s finances and strategic plan for the roughly 150 donors present. The presentation identified Rubio as Bush’s top competition, repeatedly contrasting their effort to Rubio’s, noting cash flow, field organization and endorsements.

Time Magazines ‘Politics’ and their annoying Rachel Madcow pop-up ad.
Shoulda warned us SaveFerrs.
Having said that, so Bush is just going to ignore the 500 pound gorilla in the room, Trump? And concentrate his fire on another hungry, hungry RINO, comparing him to Obama, the Rubio who has never pinned a medal on Hillary Clinton?

If we aren’t careful the Ecstatic Terrapin is going to bail on us and move on to doing ‘really cool stuff” with his Lehman Brothers payola.

This is why, as much fun as it would be watching Heb drop out early, I would rather he stay. Let he and Ricky Ricardo tear each other up.

With that said, I suppose that it’s only fair to say that Yeb! is on the same plain as John Bohner and/or Mitch McConnell.

Don’t buy this. This is bait and switch. Little Jebbie will be dropping very soon and will hand mantle and what little support he has to his good friend Mr. Rubio. Do not fall for this. This has Karl’s fingerprints. Lesser of two evils. Consolidation of money and endorsement backing coming very soon. Remember it doesn’t matter what is real, only what they can CONvince you is real. That big pow wow this weekend with Daddy was just for show and to effectively crown Mr. Rubio. Simply a ruse.

So instead of campaigning with voters he is working on getting donors to support him instead of Rubio?

This boy gets dumber and dumber.

You know what? They're (half) right.

Rubio = GOP Obama. Bush = GOP Clinton.

I would imagine that the only reason Jeb is going so hard against Rubio is because Jeb’s donors are fleeing like rats from the sinking SS Bush and jumping aboard the SS Rubio. But Rubio isn’t Jeb’s real problem anyway; Jeb’s real problem is that the SS Bush is sinking.

If the only thing Trump does is stop the invasion of this country he is worth picking over any Democrat. Illegal aliens and immigration from enemy nations or those with cultures incompatible with our values are the greatest danger we face right now - its Sociology 101.

Trump is far more conservative than Jeb, Rubio or Carson. The only ones to his right are Cruz and Santorum. Hillary's plans would destroy the country. Sometimes we have to vote for somebody we don't care for but who at least does not hate the USA.
