Jeb Bush’s Cavalry Arrives Amid Worry He's Ceding Too Much Ground.
His super PAC is finally set to open the vault with a big TV ad buy in early-voting states.
Since January, the super PAC supporting Jeb Bush has done one thing, and done it well: amass a nine-figure fortune, in hopes of making the former Florida governor's Republican presidential bid a political death star.
Now, as that super PAC prepares a post-Labor Day television advertising blitz in three critical early voting states, the question is whether the juggernaut designed to build and sustain Bush’s momentum has already missed its chance to reinvigorate a waning front-runner.

SGT (Join to see) If Jeb did get the Republican nod (which I don't think he will) then the Democrats would most likely win. There will won't be three different Bush's in the white house!

The same thing was said last night about Trump. If he decides to go neutral, Hillary is in. I don't think Jeb would be a good POTUS. Nobody is wants three Bush's. He's too laid back, COL Mikel J. Burroughs, IMO.

Was shopping with my wife last night and the sale associate was making small talk and asked which candidate we liked. I told her I believe it's too soon in this race to worry about who. Like some, I don't believe Jeb will get the nod. When I was at the VA today visiting an Iwo survivor, he asked if I saw the news about Trump in Alabama. I did not so he began to say as a long term democrat, he is interested in this business man's approach. Since we haven't had a business man in the office, maybe it's time for a change. Not to piss on his parade, I just said, learning recently that there are people who get hired to fill a seat and cheer for whatever they are hired for, I don't see these events without skepticism of whether or not these are truly supporters or hired guns. The news media is leading the general public to believe what "they" want us to believe. I'm hopeful that not too soon we will finally see some substantive discussion regarding our future.

Short answer, no! My friends nor I will pledge a single dime to the bush family. And if the RINOs crown him the primary winner, I'll vote third party, even it's Trump.

Lawyers have so jacked up the way business is done in Washington that our Founding Fathers would barely recognize what has become of the Constitutional Republic they left to us as our inheritance. They would be appalled to say the least. Am of the opinion that if the Founding Fathers could be transported forward in time to now, they would march into Congress, pistols drawn, and escort everyone outside for a "Come to Jesus" meeting. And dare I say, some of our leaders would be meeting Jesus that day.

SGT (Join to see), it irks me when guys like RINO John Boehner and Sen Lindsey Graham send me emails requesting donations so that they can continue fighting for us. Hell, they've been fighting for us for the last about seven years and haven't gotten anywhere... and if you look at their voting records they voted for some of the very things they claim to stand against!!! I'm convinced that they don't want to get anywhere and are milking the current stalemate in Congress for everything they can get from it << or more directly, from us!!! If they were to fix things, then what cause would they have to get us to send them more money?!! Am so sick of listening to them grovel for dollars. We pay their salaries. That ought to be enough to allow them to do their jobs, and seeing as how well they manage our money, I'll be damned if I'm going to throw good money after bad -- just so they can waste more of it!!!

It irks the hell out of me too. I get mail, phone calls, and notices put on my front door. If they would use the money they waste asking for contributions, they shouldn't need to ask for any contributions. It won't go towards anything they say it will, anyway. Our forefathers would be so disappointed to see what our government has done to its citizens. I don't know how some of the politicians live with themselves. They must not have any conscience. Capt Jeff S., it continues to become worse and worse every day. This is still the best country to live in, but it could be so much better.

Probably so, Cpl (Join to see). They would be disgusted with everything that's gone on with our citizens. They might even want to burn some of them on a stake.

I'm not convinced that any amount of money can "buy" the White House for another Bush. However, the influx of money into his campaign coffers is a fair indication of whom the party establishment is betting. Sadly, the GOP establishment isn't aligned with its conservative base. Just look at the performance of the GOP majority in Congress thus far. It will be interesting to see if a ground swell of conservatives and independents once again forms to propel a conservative into the White House just as they put the GOP majority in Congress. It doesn't appear that the Democrats have anyone to inspire such a movement, does it? If one of the conservatives vying for the GOP nomination doesn't win the nod, I fully expect the majority of voters to stay home and we'll have another flake in the White House...

Trumps popularity is a referendum on the type of leadership we have seen come from the Establishment GOP. Hopefully the message is sinking in that the public is sick and tired of business as usual in Washington.
