Jeb Bushs 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.

Thank God dollars don't vote. People do. This too will pass. Just look what our new RINO Congress and Senate have done so far. Do we need more of the same or have we already driven over the cliff?

We need someone to the right of Bush to make their move now. His money, power and organization will make him hard to stop the longer the other candidates stay in the shadows.

If Jeb Bush wins the nomination it will be like Hillary running against herself.

They’re just trying to create an air of inevitability but the simple fact is that people like Jeb even less than they liked Mitt.

If all it took was money, that HP lady would be governor of CA today, and Romney would be POTUS.

The Presidency is up for sale? “One Billion....do I hear two” How come a guy with no birth certificate, a fake SS card and no college records bought it with a color?

If Jeb Bush wins the nomination it will be like Hillary running against herself. I seriously think they should run on the same ticket. Bush/Clinton.
Although, if she is VP, he should be careful about flying, and know who is the White House chef.

Yup. And Linda McMahon the WWWE lady from CT, and the swishy Michael Huffington, and that Steyer guy (would have run the table for the Dems in November), and the sheriff from Milwaukee would have been beaten by Bloomberg's cash, and Meg Whitman (also CA).
And of course, we have the evil Koch Brothers and Sheldon Adelson as a counter.

The Chamber of Cheap Labor is going to buy the nomination for Jebbie. The RNC has already rigged the calendar for him and lined up Grahamnesty to take SC out of the equation.
Bush/Clinton-Clinton/Bush
What difference does it make?
If the Republic is to survive, the GOP must die.

I don’t care how much money Bush gathers. I think he’s another in a long line of low-affinity GOP candidates and even has significant negative appeal to conservatives and libertarians. He is not articulate, he is not going to pry liberals away from voting Dem. Should the Dems field some candidate better than Hillary I believe they will walk away with 2016.

Exactly right! I really feel the primary process is against him. He can raise all the money he wants but being on the ground with the voters will ultimately be the difference. I live in Iowa. He has no chance to win here. Though Santorum and Huckabee were the last two winners and they lost soon afterwards.

A spokeswoman for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bushs potential 2016 presidential campaign has confirmed a previous Breitbart News article reporting that Speaker John Boehners on-staff amnesty advocate Becky Tallent has been in job talks with Bushs campaignundercutting a previous on-the-record denial from Boehner communications director Michael Steel.

The cavalry, in the person of Gov. Walker, seems poised to come to the rescue. I suggest giving him encouragement.

I don’t care how much money the oligarchs give their designated puppet this time, I don’t think they are going to get their way.

They are trying to make Bush look inevitable.
When in reality he is extremely evitable.
