Bush donor loyalty runs deep
The Hill ^ | 1/27/16 | Jonathan Swan

Jeb Bush raised $250,000 at a Tuesday breakfast in Houston, highlighting deep donor loyalty to his presidential campaign.

Bush's mother, Barbara Bush, and brother Neil headlined the fundraiser at the home of John Havens, a part-owner of the Houston Astros baseball franchise.

About 70 donors attended the fundraiser and Neil Bush gave a short and emotional speech introducing his brother, a source who attended told The Hill. "Jeb spoke, and he didn't need to say much," said a donor who attended the event. "Everyone there is loyal to the family, loyal to Jeb. This is where the true loyalty shows.

"Neil did the introduction. His voice quivered. It was very emotional," the source said.

Bush, who has not released his final fundraising numbers for 2015, has found it tougher raising money since he fell to single digits in national polls after leading the Republican field from April to July last year.

I wish somebody would give me $250,000 that they didn’t care where it went.

I could find a nice used Mustang or Camaro and still have most of that money left.

Seems like the Bush family’s genetics are about played out.

Most of it was probably from taxpayer bailout money so they weren’t too concerned about flushing it down the toilet.

That’s about $3500 per capita. More money than sense.

Wish I knew a few of these so I could talk ‘em out of some bux.
