Jeb Bush is entering a critical phase of his Republican presidential campaign, with top donors warning that the former Florida governor needs to demonstrate growth in the polls over the next month or face serious defections among supporters.
Bush needs to get his favorables up, said a senior GOP bundler who is backing him and requested anonymity to speak candidly.
People are looking at the stage and saying: Jeb and Marco? Im going with the new, said a top party fundraiser not aligned with a campaign. Youre seeing people really gravitate to [Rubio] and saying, Okay, well buck the Bush machine.
What I hear everywhere when you say Jebs name is, If you want to lose the general election, nominate Jeb, the fundraiser added.

Yeb should get lots of letters of support, urging him on that his unique, gentle wisdom is needed at this time. No one else can do it. He won’t be able to recognize its a wind up and he’ll bumble around in the way of the Geriatric Old Plotters while they try to wheel a replacement loser into place.

Even the "big money bundlers" live in an echo chamber, and the echo was saying "Bush...Bush...Bush...." Just proof you don't have to be smart to be rich.

Now theyll work on stopping Trump to elect Hillary.
No offense but, well, duh.

What lacks common sense even more is shoving the illegal immigration debate and acts of love in the voters faces. Bush was cajoled by his circle of sycophants to believe the nom was his for the asking, that he didn't even really have to campaign, because it was all set up for him. So when we the people didn't bend over for him, he thought he could spit on our faces and it wouldn't matter. Turned out, he was wrong.
Hasta la bye bye JEB.

Any one who wants to keep funding Jeb when he has no chance is looking to go broke fast.
I’ll run internet ads on facebook for him for $2M. seven of them.

Obama owns all the "REALLY low-information voters", and at least some will gravitate towards Hillary. So, nothing there for the GOPe to pick up.

I think i hear that Loser Tuba song from The Price is Right.
Does Jeb at least get a Booby Prize for playing the game?
To: Helicondelta
Poor Jeb never had a chance. I personally can't look at him without thinking of the character Chris in the comedy movie Just Friends.
