Jeb Bush’s top fundraisers leave his campaign

 Despite the establishment’s best efforts to foist him upon us Jeb Bush has not been able to gain much momentum after some early success. With his campaign now sputtering comes news that some of his top fundraisers are bolting his side.

  Here is more:

Three top Jeb Bush fundraisers abruptly parted ways with his presidential campaign on Friday, amid internal personality conflicts and questions about the strength of his candidacy, POLITICO has learned.

There are different versions of what transpired. The Florida-based fundraising consultants — Kris Money, Trey McCarley, and Debbie Alexander — have said that they voluntarily quit the campaign and were still working with Bush’s super PAC, Right to Rise Super PAC. Others said the three, who worked under the same contract, were let go because they were no longer needed for the current phase of the campaign.

   There are conflicting stories as to why these men have left the campaign, as well as whether they were fired or if they left on their own, however Jeb Bush’s remaining people are trying to put a happy face on for the public.

Donors last week told POLITICO that they still felt good about Bush’s chances and that they weren’t worried about Bush’s recent slip from second to third place in averages of national polls. As the son and brother of former presidents, the former governor of the third-most populous state in the nation has a broad, deep-pocketed and savvy donor base.

  Normally I would agree with this because once the establishment picks its candidate it is a guarantee that the money will flow in while at the same time the other Republican candidates will be strangled out by the establishment–the money, except for individual donations, will dry up and eventually the preferred candidate will win. And of course the voters will believe they chose the candidate when nothing could be further from the truth, it is an illusion.

  But this is not a normal election year and there is a wildcard in this case in the name of Donald Trump. The establishment will not be able to strangle him out of the race by cutting off the money because he has the means to support himself and his candidacy. This could just be the beginning of Jeb Bush’s problems…
