Wall Street Journal ^ | 1/26/16 | BETH REINHARD

Where in the world is Jeb Bush? Not in Iowa, at least not now, unlike most of his Republican rivals for president grinding it out before Thursday's debate in Des Moines and Monday's caucus.

On Monday, the former governor raised about $375,000 back home in Florida; Tuesday morning he picked up another $250,000 in Houston, according to people familiar with the fundraisers' hauls.

Might keep him going until SC.

But under a $1 million dollars is not an impressive winter haul for a campaign underwater in the polls.

Jeb is still hoping everything breaks his way after NH.

Good luck with it.

Don’t rule him out. They get rid of Trump, Cruz will be an easy takedown. Jeb is still in the race because he plans to win it.

In walks Jebito.

Well at least we know George P was in Texas for one day this month, although I doubt if he was in his office except maybe to pick up yet another paycheck.

When JEB comes to Texas does that mean the Little P will be in the state?

Maybe he might be able to squeeze in a little of land comish work he was elected to do.

in order to be a candidate at the convention, you must win the majority 50+% of 8 states. else it goes uncommitted open ballot

Don’t bet on it. Brokered convention anyone?

Surely his TX check is done by direct deposit. In George P.’s defense, maybe he is showing that the land commissioner could be replaced by a civil service clerk to save needed funds.

The fact that TX Republicans insist on George P. remains a troubling thing for me.

Actually I was spewing sarcasm. Good thought from you though. May include it in my weekly zing to the Gov about Bush’s absence if you don’t mind.

If the convention gets brokered there will be no saving the GOP. It would be a party of the past.
