Jeb Bush is convincing donors the polls are wrong

[brooklynite]

Politico:

Jeb Bush didn’t fix it. His attempted attacks on rivals have fallen flat. His $30 million in TV ads have failed to move his numbers. And now, with the Iowa caucuses less than two months away, he’s polling at a miserable 3 percent nationally.

But there’s one significant success that is keeping his campaign alive: Jeb Bush has convinced major GOP donors and supporters that the polls are wrong.

“I am like the Israelites following Moses, and I am not the only one,” said Mike Fernandez, the top donor to Bush’s super PAC, after a new CNN poll showed Bush an astounding 33 points behind the poll leader. “Unfortunately it might not be that many of us.”

While rival campaigns boast that some Bush backers are making side bets on other candidates, hardly any Bush donors have publicly abandoned him—largely out of unwavering loyalty to an incomparable Republican dynasty and to a candidate many put on a pedestal in spite of his political shortcomings.

It all worked out in 2012...

1. "an incomparable Republican dynasty"?!

Oh, it's comparable, all right. To the Romanovs and the Medicis, for starters.

2. Watch and see.

The Bush Crime Family will prevail and John Ellis Bush will be the Standard Barrier of the Rethug Party. Notice the earlier story about Rubio and how a so called operative with previous campaign experience,accused Mark Boy of having a affair with a Lobbyist. All that is left to neuter is the Canuck.
