big donations from Wall Street to Bush's super PAC Right to Rise dropped by 85 percent in the second half of 2015. Funding would've plummeted to 95 percent if not for the $10 million gift from former AIG CEO Hank Greenberg.

Wall Street donors now appear to be backing Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Bush is just holding back for the right moment....
Kasich???
Boy, these Wall Street whiz kids sure can pick a winner!
He’s surging! Jebmentum!
Roger Stone’s book.
Jeb!!! is gone. I assure you of his political demise. This is all about Donald J. Trump.
Nobody knows, de trubble JEB knows,
Nobody knows his sorrow
Gee whiz, c’mon guys, quit goofin’ on Lumpy.
But cruz is raking the money in, weird!
Back to the snack cakes, Little Jebbie.
His Mom/Martha has to listen to Jeb crying nearly on suicide watch over this election
Martha :”George, you have to help your brother”
W :”But Mom, my approval rating was 30% when I left office. I am not sure I will be of any help to him”
Martha :”He's your brother. He is crying all the time and doesn't want to get out of bed anymore. You have to try”
I bet Mike Murphy’s bank account is looking pretty good, though.
Yahoo! Finance reports Sen. Ted Cruz’s four super PACs received 57 percent of their money from financial-industry sources, but are essentially funded almost entirely by three wealthy donors:
“Cruz has the most unusual arrangement with Wall Street. His wife Heidi is a Goldman Sachs executive based in Houston (who’s on leave during the campaign), and four Cruz super PACs got 57% of their money from financial-industry sources.
But those super PACs are funded almost entirely by three wealthy donors, including investor Robert Mercer of the New York hedge fund Renaissance Technologies and energy investor Toby Neugebauer, who operates a Houston private-equity firm.
So while the Cruz super PACs get the highest portion of money from finance professionals, his donor network is wafer thin, compared with Bush’s.
Even more interesting is that Cruz’s three big donors gave all of their money in the first half of the year, and none in the second. That could mean they’re standing by to pony up more, but only when it’s needed. Or, it could mean they’ve given all they care to, and Cruz needs to find other big donors.”
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
ow
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Wall St. and the GOPe have abandoned Jeb and are all in for Rubio.
The Cheap Labor Express is going all in for The Memorizer Bunny
Hey Wall Street! He always was a bad investment.
Looks like ¿Jeb? has been firing blanks. /ba-dum t'ssssh>
No wonder Trump attracts better-looking women!
The interesting thing to handicap is - where does the money go? I mean, Jeb is cratering so precipitously, that he may actually leave the race before his campaign is out of money. And from here, within FL, it’s not obvious what the PACs supporting Bush are doing with their money, which was once rumored, collectively, to be in the $100M vicinity. So, assume that his campaign has some petty cash left after he quits, and assume that the independent PACs have some coin left when he is gone. Where do they turn? I don’t know that there is any limit for a campaign donating to a campaign, and PACs as independent entities, do not have to ask permission to turn and back another candidate.
The traditional pattern is, somewhat like Scott Walker, to literally run out of cash and leave $Millions in debts as you exit the battlefield. But things are going so bad for Bush that he could pack it in with sufficient cash to divert to one of the remaining candidates, and with sufficient $ on hand at the PACs dedicated to him, to make a difference. I don’t see it going to Rubio, obviously not to Trump, so Cruz could be getting some help from Uncle Jeb on his way out the door. Just sayin’.
It really is painful to watch Jeb, to speak, when he is not speaking. Just painful. Literally painful.
Jeb’s numbers would go up if he announced he is getting out of the race - It would show he could say something correct.
