Jeb Bush’s money juggernaut is far eclipsing the efforts of his would-be rivals for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, putting his two political committees on pace to amass an unprecedented sum of tens of millions of dollars by early spring.
The former Florida governor’s overwhelming dominance in the race to line up financial backers has come at a speed that has impressed longtime Republican money players, who say wealthy party backers have rapidly migrated to Bush since 2012 nominee Mitt Romney decided against another White House run two weeks ago.

This disgusts me. Bush will never, ever, ever get my vote. Yes, I’m a Cruz guy, but if Bush gets the nomination, I’ll stay home. It’s close to extortion, and there is no honor in it. Or him.
Doesn’t matter how much a damn fool spends developing a new brand of inedible dog food if the dogs won’t eat the crap. He’ll still go broke.
You know, all he had to do was show up at a few Tea Party rallies, say something nice about Governor Brewer, and maybe carry a cup of water into Terry Schiavo’s hospital room and he’d be president now.
As it is, he will never be president.
didnt Mittens’ presidential run start very similar?
He can take his acts of love where the sun don;t shine.
FUJB.
“The OLD mentality Bush is operating by does NOT include the fact that we’ve reached a point with real Conservatives is that we are NOT buying a “B” product, even if it has an “A” marketing team and lots of money behind it....”

I agree, and that’s indicative of someone who is isolated from the mainstream of the American people and CERTAINLY the base of the Republican party.
A modest suggestion: all it would really take to sort out the presidential field would be for Rush to interview each of the serious contenders for an hour or two. Give them time to develop their positions enough to either solidify their support or hang themselves.
Hillary! had a big chest, er, war chest, too, in 2008. How much good did that do her?
He wasn’t getting this vote before releasing all his emails with private info and he’s certainly not getting it after.
I read the entire article.
It’s all speculation and based on fundraisers thus far.
The article also notes that Senator’s Cruz, Paul and Rubio have had PACS for quite some time and they might be funded much more than anyone knows.
Mitt’s money didn’t get him elected.
If the GOP wanted to win they wouldn’t keep pushing amnesty.
It’s the amnesty that’s important to them.
We had a very motivated voter base, active Tea Party groups and the benefit of Cantor showing what a weasel he really was.
Jeb Bush murdered Terri Schiavo.
I will not vote for a murderer.
Next year the GOP-e may get more of the middle, but they are punting away conservatives with another moderate Bush.
Country For Sale!!!!
Serf’s included!!!
Sure. The Fed can print him a cool billion, launder it through HSBC and JEB! becomes the next prez. Ha ha ha.
A Bush Clinton election?? Save the money. I don’t care who wins.
Seriously, I can’t be motivated. It’s becoming all the same and this country is becoming Unsalvageable. Not really, but we can’t seem to get it together to fight the media. We are practically useless.
I am looking forward to Hillary's coronation as president simply because the republican party cannot persuade all conservatives to vote for one candidate. Sucks to know in my heart that folks like yourself (and as I was in the past) make it so. I'm a changed man, will vote against any democrat for the most likely winner even if I hate them. Worst of two evils, whether I like it or not just settle for the best given the choice.
Can’t you already hear the Rino’s castigating us all for staying home after they lose another one?
