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.

2020 sounds like he’s betting on Trump losing.

Since the bushes are voting for Hillary, I guess they’re doing their small part.

After this election season I never want to hear from the Bushes, Clintons, or Obama again. They’ve been both systematically and unsystematically destroying our country since Jan. of ‘89.

Get the hint, donors. He is one of the most severely disliked people in America. His family coming out in support of Hillary isn’t going to make winning any more likely.

If these Jeb Donors want to throw more money down the drain I’ll be happy to take it off their hands and actually do something with it that helps people.

Every one in ME outside Kennebunkport is voting Trump!

So much for the best laid plans of men, mice and the Bushes.

I hate to say it, but Jesse Jackson was right.

“A guy that spent $150 million dollars to get what... 4 delegates? Dropped out after a dozen states, more or less, who cares what the exact number is. Will never shake the low energy label, ever, ever ever... and is THE establishment name and he wants to run again?”

Just look at what this sort of image did to Dan Quayle, and he’s head and shoulders beter than “Little Yebbie!” If Donald Trump ends up being the president we all think he will be, he will get another 4 years and pave the way for President Pence.

Reagan v Ford 1976

Reagan had 1,078 delegates and 24 states as the challenger.

Ford had 1,121 delegates and 27 states as the incumbent.

==

Jeb didn’t even have 10% support in 2016.

Whatever little chance he still had was totally gone when it came out that his dad is voting for Hillary. Unless he changes from RINO to a full Democrat.

Jeb just doesn't get it.

Democrats don't want him.

Republicans don't want him.

The only people that want him are the GOPe donor class, because he is Democrat-lite.

You would think that after the rejection of McCain and Romney, and the toxicity of the name "Bush", they would finally get it.

US voters are tired of dynasties.

Not only that but he does NOT support the party’s nominee and his wretched family supports its Dem opponent. Jeb, look to Romney, Sr., Bill Scranton and Nelson Rockefeller who would not back Goldwater in 1964. They had great careers after that, didn’t they?? Look at Richard Nixon and Reagan, who endorsed and campaigned for Goldwater. Ain’t no way we’re voting for you, Mr. Bush, Nada, not ever.

If they want to throw away money, would they please throw some my way?
