Influential Republicans working to draft Jeb Bush into 2016 presidential race

By Philip Rucker and Robert Costa,

LAS VEGAS — Many of the Republican Party’s most powerful insiders and financiers have begun a behind-the-scenes campaign to draft former Florida governor Jeb Bush into the 2016 presidential race, courting him and his intimates and starting talks on fundraising strategy.

Concerned that the George Washington Bridge traffic scandal has damaged New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s political standing and alarmed by the steady rise of Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.), prominent donors, conservative leaders and longtime operatives say they consider Bush the GOP’s brightest hope to win back the White House.

Bush’s advisers insist that he is not actively exploring a candidacy and will not make a decision until at least the end of this year. But over the past few weeks, Bush has traveled the country delivering policy speeches, campaigning for Republicans ahead of the fall midterm elections, honing messages on income inequality and foreign policy, and cultivating ties with wealthy benefactors — all signals that he is considering a run.

Many if not most of Mitt Romney’s major donors are reaching out to Bush and his confidants with phone calls, e-mails and invitations to meet, according to interviews with 30 senior Republicans. One bundler estimated that the “vast majority” of Romney’s top 100 donors would back Bush in a competitive nomination fight.

1. At this point one would have to question the sanity of "Romney’s top 100 donors"

[TBF]

2. Was there ever any doubt?

They don't have anyone else.

7. not from me

Each bush worse than the one before

3. shocked!!!!!!

[pscot]

4. The downside for the GOP and the Bush family would be

a nasty debate over our pointless invasion of Iraq. George would become a punching bag. Unless, of course we nominate Hillary, who was all for it.

5. I predicted this long ago.

The rest of the field is a bunch of clowns. He is the only one who seems "sane".

6. "draft" ;)

I suppose its just as well they dont toss any truth out there.
I might die of shock.
If Jeb aint there at the end, maybe then.

8. His wife is Mexican

He's very Latino friendly and speaks fluent Spanish. He's Roman Catholic. Not to mention he has the power of the Bush mafia family and all their numerous connections.

I don't want him to run, he would be much more formidable than Rand.

9. I agree with Barbara Bush!

10. In my mind there was never a doubt.

This turd was the Chamber of Commerce's first choice years ago. Nothing has changed except this dog and pony show of idiots on the right is nothing more than a distraction. If you really read,there has been a major effort by the so called Media to clean up and make Bush's image. Georgie is a Painter,Georgie thinks Education should be improved,Georgie thanks Vets,and of course Pappy thinks his son should not run because of the families negative press,we all know that is a big Bullshit play.

Bring it on Wingers,your ass is grass and we are the lawn mower.
