That's something to be real proud of, Jeb.

With her 2.5 B, they make a great team!

Only thing is, with her at 2.5B, and Bush only at 100M,
that probably puts him at the bottom of the ticket. But that’s the way it goes when you pay to play.

“Jeb Bush told about 350 of the top donors to his super PAC on Sunday evening that the organization has raised more money in its first 100 days than any other Republican operation in modern history, according to several people in attendance. “

So basically he is announcing that he’ll be a K-Street whore with some tremendous favors to repay to all the cronies if and when he reaches the White House.

The best description of this contest is a comparison with A Fistful of Dollars.

The Clintons are the Rojos, the Bushes are the Baxters, and Ted Cruz is the Man With No Name in the middle.

Scene one: As Ted Cruz rides into town, the hired guns of the Bushes laugh at his mule.

Is “history” everything that has already happened, or only those things that have happened that are consequential?

The Cheap Labor Express will spend whatever is necessary to prevent the citizens from electing a President who will stand for the rule of law and the citizens.

The Ministry of Propaganda, which includes Fox News, will only promote amnesty candidates.

Har! Exactly, and I don't care if it's $100 Billion, I still ain't voting for Jeb in the primary or the general election if he's the GOP nominee.

In other words, than you for giving me all this money so my buddy Mr. Rove and I can go all “Chicago” on the conservatives during the primary. But don’t worry, I won’t use a penny of it, not one dime to attack my fellow UniParty running mate Mrs. Clinton. I would sure hate for a dime to go to anything other than hosting the latest John Boehner, Mitch McConnell “eunuch fest.” Hey, what are they gonna do on the other side, keep up their “blame Bush” mantra? Yeah, like that would work on me. It’s not like my last name is Bush or errr, ummm, hey, did I mention that I am truly Hispanic?

The U.S. presidency is for sale now? Only the ultra rich can run? Talk about equality....oh well...ask Jeb why he wants a government system like Common Core for American schools? Teachers Unions have anything to do with it? I would guess some 75% of parents do not want this system in our schools.
