Jeb Bush to Meet With 3 Candidates — but Not Donald Trump — Before Florida Primary
NY Times ^ | 3/9/16 | Ashley Parker

Posted on 03/09/2016 11:36:39 AM PST by jimbo123

Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida who ended his presidential bid after a string of disappointing finishes, is planning to meet with three of the remaining Republican candidates while they’re in Miami for the Republican debate on Thursday night.

Mr. Bush has plans to meet with Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, Gov. John Kasich of Ohio and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, an aide to Mr. Bush confirmed. The list’s glaring omission, of course, was Donald J. Trump.

Trump should use this to point out (at the debate) that a GOPe PAC has been established by the GOPe candidates to discredit him.

Oh, NO!
Someone is going to be the unlucky recipient of an endorsement!
What a shame. They’ve all worked really hard and it stinks to have it all get thrown away with the stench of a Bush endorsement.

Ted Cruz, incoming...

The GOPe will own Ted in short order

Co-own. Goldman Sachs has the other half.

At least you’re not claiming as most around here do, that the GOPe has ‘owned’ Ted Cruz since that day back in Calgary when he stood by while a friend of his threw a snowball at a... girl.

They will have a hard time getting out that stain from their blue suit. I would think better of Ted for having to miss that meeting.

Speaking of boogers, what’s the over/under on how many Cruz will ingest during the debate?

So Jeb is going to meet with his brother’s employer. What a nice family get together!!

Cruz has been a second tier Bush family member state since the Florida recount, even met Heidi while she worked for Bush.

How sweet - a reunion!!

He’s foolish if he does.
His only option for redemption at this point is to go after Cruz and then do what Christie did and drop out and endorse.
Rubio would benefit with a Trump alignment. He is used kleenex to the GOPe.

I guess that “Low Energy” label still stings Jeb! to this day. It was a huge disappointment, I’m sure, witnessing the fall of the House of Bush.

no surprise seeing as Trump is the only one not being backed by the elitist establishment.

Wasn;t too long ago when Cruz said this.

“Let me encourage other members of the establishment: Keep supporting Donald Trump because every time you do it, what it is doing is telling conservatives all over the country is where you stand and who stands with you”.
- Ted Cruz, New Hampshire stump speech

Funny how even Outsider Ted is going to meet with him.

What on earth for?

To kiss his ring? To find out what position will be granted if they defeat Trump?

Jeb didn’t suspend his campaign, the Bush dynasty just transferred it’s $$ support over Cruz, their fall back guy.

Really is Trump vs the establishment now. I was fine with Ted or Donald, but Ted is starting to sound like he sold out more each day.

I have to say Trumps nicknames stick: Ted “The Liar”, Jeb “Low Energy”, and Marco “Little Man”
