Jeb Bush donors want a rematch in 2020

Jeb Bush in 2020, anyone?

Sources close to Jeb Bush’s failed run at the 2016 presidency say the “low-energy” candidate has been back in touch with supporters. They believe he’s popping up to “feel them out” for another run and, according to at least one big contributor, they're in!

“Bush has been quietly making telephone calls to his supporters, bundlers and donors, to talk about the state of the county and the economy, and the energy business, why would he do that?” asks one insider, who concludes “he's running in four years.”

Before he was trounced by Donald Trump, Bush raised $160 million (when adding in super PAC money), for a GOP primary run that fell flat when the bombastic Trump labeled him a “low-energy” candidate.

At this point, Pat Paulsen stands a better chance

In four years, the Bushs and their donors will still be anti American trash.

“... NONE of us here were backing this boob.”

Actually I believe there was one, and there were a couple of others who said they ‘liked’ him based on his gubernatorial record, but supported other candidates. I believe that was it.

He should go on to do those ‘cool things’ he wanted to do. Maybe a Florida turtle farm or something.

That whole Bush-Dole-Bush-Bush-McCain-Romney thing was to prevent the citizen from stopping the Cheap Labor Express.
It was Yeb!’s turn to be the GOP amnesty candidate and block the citizens from having any option of not losing their country.
The illegal alien inundation was intentional.

Or that horrible disrobing to show the old teeshirt.

Man, the cringeworthy moments are coming back!

Jeb still has the same problem —...

He'd still, and will forever be, YEB!.

I'd vote for a dead cat (/Bloom County) over him in particular, any probably any future Bush in general.

As for the low energy comment, I wonder if that's what sparked the tippy-toes action?

“...they had a winter assemblage of some sorts...”

I remember that image.

It was just before the New Hampshire primary.

Dorky Jeb was walking through the New Hampshire snow with his campaign bus in the background, giving a goofy smile as he waved at some people sitting down in a restaurant.

His mom was walking behind him, pushing a walker and being assisted by an unknown young woman.

I hope Trump appoints Jebby ambassador to The Bermuda Triangle.

oh thank you!

There is another clip I saw on FR on the weekend, it was jebby passing Dr. Carson and Mr. Trump on the side stage, they were standing in the Curtains and he bumped into Trump.

Its a moment where if you were there you would just deck him and I am a woman.

If he thinks he’ll be running against Hillary he’ll sound just like Trump. But if he wins he’ll sound just like Hillary/Obama

Well, yes, but you have to understand that it only took three phone calls and a Facebook posting. Anyway, at $50 mil a delegate he'll have to raise 60 billion buckadingdongs. Better get started now, Yeb!
