Jeb Bush donors want a rematch in 2020

Jeb Bush in 2020, anyone?

Sources close to Jeb Bush’s failed run at the 2016 presidency say the “low-energy” candidate has been back in touch with supporters. They believe he’s popping up to “feel them out” for another run and, according to at least one big contributor, they're in!

“Bush has been quietly making telephone calls to his supporters, bundlers and donors, to talk about the state of the county and the economy, and the energy business, why would he do that?” asks one insider, who concludes “he's running in four years.”

Before he was trounced by Donald Trump, Bush raised $160 million (when adding in super PAC money), for a GOP primary run that fell flat when the bombastic Trump labeled him a “low-energy” candidate.

It’s a free country. I guess they don’t have anything better to do with their money.

“George P. has “endorsed” Trump and is a safe bet to be reelected land commissioner in 2018, if he runs again.”

That’s too bad, as he is an unstable, vicious creep.

“he’s running in four years.”

I’d vote for the son or was it the nephew.

100% of the forum here, new he was a loser from the beginning. Many here were for Cruz, Walker, Perry, Rubio even, but NONE of us here were backing this boob.

I’m still a republican, but I don’t think I identify with these people backing Bush.

EVEn Diamond and Silk saw thru him. They said, “Stay out of the bushes.” They said “Jeb Bush, you have as much chance of winning than if you were to go out into the middle of the desert and plant an apple tree, and it would grow.” Bwahahahaha!!!

Jeb’s mother didn't want him to run

She knew her sons’ limitations, and wanted to spare him the embarrassment she knew would be coming

The most telling moment (for me) was when they had a winter assemblage of some sorts and Jeb walked ahead of the pack while someone else helped his mother through the snow.

A similar telling moment for me was when Dr. Carson had a moment of confusion during the announcement of the candidates and everyone walked past him (Cruz with a smirk) while Trump stayed with him to sort it all out, rather than leave him embarrassed alone.

I was a Cruz supporter (mostly) at first. Trump was rising in my view, but that started to settle it in his favor.

That plus the fact he was NOT giving pablum answers to inane journalist questions.

This is really all you need to see how the gatekeepers of GOP are wildly out of touch.

They still don’t (or won’t) see how the Bush-Dole-Bush-Bush-McCain-Romney model got us nowhere worth getting to. they think the model can be tweaked, repackaged, and resold.

They’re very wrong.

jeb chose to disqualify himself by supporting amnesty for illegal aliens ( “slow-walked” amnesty is still amnesty and just as much a magnate for more throngs of lawless illegals as outright instant amnesty).

He is finished, politically, and there is no (NO) return pathway.

I should have decades left as a regular voter—and I will never vote for another Bush for another office in my lifetime.

Three lonely delegates?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/07/20/how-much-each-republican-candidate-raised-for-every-vote-won/
Trump, 1,725
Ted Cruz, 475
John Kasich, 120
Marco Rubio, 114
Ben Carson, 7
Jeb Bush, 3
Rand Paul, 2

(It’s the Compost, `I’m With Her’ BS, free subscription BS, I wouldn’t click it if I were you)
53 million @ delegate? They didn’t want to buy a landslide, that’s the only explanation I can think of ....
