Three generations of the most famous family in Texas politics are planning to descend on Houston in the coming days to rally with major donors to Jeb Bush's presidential campaign and try to raise more money for the former Florida governor.
The weekend gathering, once billed as a "special appreciation event" for Jeb Bush's biggest financial backers, comes at a precarious time for his White House hopes. His campaign announced Friday it was making significant cutbacks, reportedly reducing its payroll by 40 percent, trimming travel costs by 20 percent and scaling back 45 percent on some other costs.
Jeb Bush's father and brother former presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, respectively will be on hand over the weekend in Houston to thank the campaign's top bundlers. Also expected to attend are Jeb Bush's two sons, Jeb Bush Jr. and George P. Bush, the Texas land commissioner. Jeb Bush bundlers who raised a certain amount at least $50,000 by some accounts were expected to attend the gathering.
Jeb Bush's campaign is taking the opportunity to raise some fresh cash, starting with a breakfast Monday morning at the Houston Hilton Americas headlined by Jeb Bush and his wife, Columba. While Columba Bush starred at a fundraiser for her husband last month in San Antonio, the Houston breakfast marks the first time the two have appeared together in Texas. According to an invitation, the event costs $10,000 to co-chair, $5,400 to host, $1,000 to sponsor or $500 to attend.

Jeb Bush to Meet With Super-PAC Donors in Houston
So like most of our politicians, his solution to failure is to throw more money at it.
It’s getting so everyone in the Bush Dynasty is making me physically ill. They’re not poor. If they really thought the Jebster could salvage his campaign, shouldn’t they do the funding until that happens? Or do they prefer to be bought by the highest bidder, because that’s the way their world works?
I hope the RINO fat cats channel even more $ to the Bush campaign. Talk about throwing good money after bad!
Jeb Bush. Joyfully wasting other people’s money. :-)
I don’t see any influence Jeb has to sell.
I dont see any influence Jeb has to sell.
This seems to be the only thing he has to sell:
$75 for a guacamole bowl?
I could get 60 sausage burritos at McDonalds for that.
Yeasts of the world unite!
Not improper coordination because the laws don’t apply to the ruling class, only to the Proles.
OK that a does it. I TAKE BACK EVERY NICE THING I COULD POSSIBLE SAY ABOUT HIS INSANITY AND TRYING TO GIVE HIS FAMILY SOME SYMPATHY.
For them to continue on with this CHILD means the whole family is insane.
One thing is for sure, none of the Bush family will spend a penny on this. If one of them flys in from somewhere they won’t pay for it. If poppy gets brought in a limo he won’t pay a dime. Water? Food? Toilet paper? The Bush family won’t spend anything. Heck, they will probably charge money for showing up.
133 guacamole bowls, 72 bowls, 13, or 6.
