One of Florida's top GOP fundraisers officially quits Bush team, signals shift to Rubio.
Jeb Bush's decision to attack old friend and new rival Marco Rubio is backfiring, pushing important supporters to criticize the campaign's tactics and driving one of Floridaâs top fundraisers to officially quit and signal a shift in allegiance to the senator.
"I think the world of Jeb Bush. He was a great governor of Florida and is a really good person, but the campaign has hijacked his message" said Brian Ballard, a Tallahassee lobbyist who contributed more than $25,000 of his own money and has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars more for Bush's campaign and the super PAC supporting him.
"The campaign has become negative, one that is about attacking and trying to bring down Marco Rubio. And that doesn't sit well -- not only with me, but with anyone who knows the two," Ballard said. "Marco's a friend of mine. I didn't sign up for a campaign that was going to be negative and attack a bright star of the party's future. It doesn't make sense. I'm over it. And I'm done."

Team Jeb vs Team Marco
lol @ gif
Yeb! vs Young Yeb!
Amnesty vs Amnesty
Globalist sellout vs Globalist sellout
They both must lose for America to survive.
Yheb! is such a wuss......
They have serious skills.
Oh my....guess that guy just put Bush in his place....
To bad he had to get dirty with Rubio...I think if Rubio takes this campaign as a lesson, and stays in the Senate and supports Fla like he should, maybe later he could run again...right now he’s not on solid ground to do that...he needs more experience....
The implosion continues for Yeb.
Smart money is on Rubio to win it all.
Soooo dusgusting at the tag team in cahoots.
If that is the case then we all lose.
We all lose if that witch gets in.
Maybe he can get Daddy to write another book. :)
Smart money is on Rubio to win it all.
********************************************
He’ll never win the general.
Millions of people like me will NEVER vote for abandoning the rule of law and surrendering the country to illegal aliens and their employers.
but the campaign has hijacked his message
I think Trump said SUPERPACS are hijacking the campaigns.
Smart money, or evil globalist money?
The only issue I have with that is that he still would have a Republican Senate and House which would mean that he wouldn’t do a dang thing unless they write and vote on a bill that says Amnesty. Nobody is going to do that. The Dems had filibuster proof Senate and didn’t pass any Amnesty. Everyone knows that in 2018, if Rubio and the Congress would do something like that, it would be over for the Republicans forever. I can’t imagine why they would allow 20 million Democratic voters into the country and make them legal. It doesn’t make any sense. And then lose the Presidency in 2020? Again does not make sense. And then the census and we would be screwed. It is to risky for anyone to do this.
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
Never give more knives to backstabbers
