When Jeb Bush goes down, heâs taking the rest of the GOP field with him (except Donald Trump).That, at least, is what will happen if Mike Murphy, the head of Bushâs super PAC Right to Rise, gets his way.
Right to Rise has $75 million in the bank, and Murphyâs not going to let it go to waste, according to Politico:
According to another source close to Right to Rise, Murphy has been floating another tactical shift to potential supporters, suggesting that he might spend the bulk of the $75 million to carpet bomb Rubio, Cruz, Carson, Christieâeveryone but Trump. The thinking: making the race into a binary choice between Bush and Trump might be the only way a majority of primary voters go with Bush.

Trump could twist the knife forever. When nominated he could say, “I have asked Jeb Bush if he would consider VP if I offer it to him.” If this party is able to straighten itself out, there will never be another Bush at a Republican convention.
So now we know for a fact that Bush & his supporters are dirty ba*tards when they don’t get their way. Go ahead and waste your money fools!
This is hilarious. The RINOs have finally lost their minds. The collapse of the GOPe has driven them so crazy they can no longer think rationally. I love it. Bring it on, and start with Rubio and Kasich while you’re at it.
Tippy Toes is toothless.
What part of I.Will.Never.Vote.for.Bush does he not understand? Never, never, never, ever!
Frankly, I think Trump will get the nod. Rubio will be VP (hoping to deliver Florida and the GOPe). >>> sorry i don’t think trump likes rubio i think amaorsso gets the vp
Nope nope nope
“That is exactly what happened to Barry Goldwater.”
And folks still remember, and they’re STILL pissed.
I can’t see him getting Rand Paul’s 1 per cent.
Reminds me of the joke about the 5 year old boy and John Holmes standing on the Brooklyn Bridge taking a leak. As they stood there relieving themselves, Holmes said ‘Damn the water is cold.
Nonplussed, the 5 year old replied ‘Deep too”.
Me thinks Jeb is as deluded as the young lad.
Someone needs to do a ad featuring Mike Murphy. Brand him for life.
Carl Icahn.
Shhhhhh, You heard it from me first.
We have got to skip baby boomer leadership. The 60’s screwed them up royally.
I know, I know... he is 79, but a very very young 79.
Remember even Reagan took GHW Bush as VP. At the time, Bush was pro choice, he changed. Or so he said. Bush was the moderate DC insider. The point was that Bush would make Reagan look less extreme. I think Trump has the very same issue. While I do not think Trump is extreme at all, he is just sending back messaging which is right in the heart of the American psyche. But Rubio as VP will get votes. And like all other VPs except Cheney, he will spend the next 8 years hosting parties and going to funerals.
Mike Murphy is a pal of Joe Scarborough...nuff said

Jeb is already down and the count is up to about 8
I can't see the GOPe Senate ever voting to confirm him.
I would like to see Trump loose, rather than restrained, too. Potentially, 97 percent of R voters would like to see jebtard lose. 85% of them would like to seen Cruz lose. Potentially. And as long as we're playing this game, things could change over the next few weeks and potentially, 100% of R voters could decide to sit out the election and reject any and all of the GOP field. Potentially.
Agree if we don’t all get behind Trump US Citizens & USA is gone as we know it. Cruz with the TPP vote and the 3 time more HB1 Visa will only help them take jobs from Americans. Also against Cruz wife worked for Goldman Sach (now on leave to help him) does not set good with me or many others. Remember how much stimulus $$$$ Goldman Sach got and the Insurance mess with Fannie & Freddie they in that BIG TIME as well. So Cruz is not the outsider many thinks he is.
