Jeb Bush Blows Away The GOP Competition In 2016 Fundraising

By Matea Gold February 13 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.

Funds weren’t always the key during last year’s midterm.

He can have all the cash in Christendom, and ill vote against him. Better to vote for the dems directly, than to endure the death of a thousand cuts.

what is it the big donors like about Jeb?
I figure the open borders amnesty issue will be lost by 2016 anyway so what else is it these big donors like? They’re putting their big bucks on the line for a reason(s)—— whether you or I like those reasons or not. I’m just curious what they are. Thanks

Oh, G_d, another Romney. If he is nominated, I WILL NOT VOTE, regardless ... let Hildabeast win and the world be damned.

Too bad for Jeb that my vote is not for sale.

The GOP must really love failure.

WaPo feels a tingle.

They know this means PIAPS walks in unobstructed.

Losing candidates have gotten a lot more expensive.

I don’t care how much money he receives from those collectivist elites. If he runs on the Pubbie ticket he’ll lose the race just like Romney, McLame, Bob “Let’s make a deal” Dole, Bush 41, and Ford.

I’d love for him to come to Colorado, i would bring a pot and a pan and clang them together in protest....

Like Mark Levin says “We need to go out there and clang and bang the pots and pans together...”

Let him p!$$ away all that money, because he’s not going to get the nomination. And, in the unlikely event he does, he’s going to get clobbered in the general election. All that money is not going to do him any good.

Jeb does have this going for him: No Republican has been elected to the Whitehouse since 1928, without a Nixon or a Bush on the ticket.

Looks, I rather have Hillary or Elizabeth than the Jebster.

Obama has destroyed the country anyway.

The only way out is a real leader and Jeb isn’t it.
