the money spigot is shutting off...

'I need you to throw away money on Jeb - out of loyalty,' a fundraiser told donors.
When Jeb Bush announced a record fundraising haul in July, the Florida Republican rewarded major donors with a two-day celebratory retreat at the family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine. They also delivered a message: $114 million was just the beginning of how much cash they would need to win.
Now, seven months later and just 17 days before the first ballots are cast, Bush's donors are no longer high-fiving or strategizing how to keep funds flowing. Instead, the money spigot is shutting off as the donor class believes it is just a matter of time before the candidate they threw so much money behind drops out of the race.
POLITICO talked to nearly two dozen major donors, and most say they are waiting for what one veteran Republican and former Bush 43 administration appointee described as the "family hall pass" to jump to another campaign after the New Hampshire primary.
"I'm resigned to it being over, frankly. It's really disappointing," said one top Bush Wall Street donor.
"I'd urge him to get out after New Hampshire if he doesn't do well, but he probably won't."

Why would anyone get money to this Hispanic loser?
If you didn’t know what is boiling under the surface in America you are out of touch. America is failed and Jebbie is not the one to bring her back.
Sheeesh! And you think the CLINTONS are running a scam!!
Yet these donors will be donating to the establishment fallback-—Rubio. Mark my words
“Hey, I need you to throw away money on Jeb — out of loyalty,” a Bush fundraiser has told donors recently.

Beyond pathetic.

I will send them my address. Big checks are cool.
Have daddy foot the bill.
Jeb’s ego is ruining Rubio’s chances. I’m surprised the RINO leaders haven’t taken him to the woodshed.
JEB! is a dork. And as a third party, the Dorks really don’t have a chance.
Still trying to decide if Rubio is truly eligible.
Why wait, run now!!!!!!!!!!! As fast and hard as you can, then take a shower to get the slime off from being around him....
Rubio is about to make his climb.
Look for Iowa to be:
Trump
Rubio (”surprise” 2nd place)
Cruz
Rubio takes 2nd in NH with a lot of media fanfare. SC is not needed as there are bigger contests later.
And then the GOPe goes all in on Florida, just like they did in 2012.
Buckeye, you’re just too damn fast for me!
What’s Rubio gonna do? Propose amending Obamacare to require that every American be required to buy 10 gallons of pure ethanol along with his health plan?
Bush donor, Bush donor, Bush donor...don't these people have names, or for that matter the balls to make their own decisions about where they place their money? Why are these donors shadow figures, and more to the point, why are they puppets on strings with regards to choosing the candidate they want to back? I suspect its because they are all beneficiaries of laundered public money and kick-backs and they need the masters to tell them how to stay on the gravy train...
And Hillary can’t wait until those donors are free to start giving to their 2nd choice.
Or worse - Kasich...
