Bush staff float resumes with Florida consultantsCampaign sets travel schedule for Nevada but campaign workers fear his run ends before then.

I can unequivocally tell you that people are looking for work, because they say theyve been led to believe that they wont have a job because the campaign wont be around any longer or their jobs wont because the campaign wont have any money, said one Republican who helps run one of the Florida campaigns and who is a Bush donor.
Four separate and senior political consultants in Florida said they have been negotiating with potential employees who are preparing for the end of the Bush campaign. The entreaties for new work from these Bush staffers most of whom are not top-level campaign hands have markedly increased apace with signs that the former Florida governor is under pressure to exit the race after Saturdays GOP primary if he performs poorly.
I have people in [Marco] Rubios campaign and various campaigns I talk to and said Hey, if it doesnt work out for you, come and work for us, said one of the consultants. Suddenly in the past week, Im getting calls and theyre asking me: Are you looking for somebody? And those people are exclusively Jeb people.

(2,931 posts)5. No more Bushes, no more Clintons
31 of the 34 years I have been on this planet there has been a Bush or Clinton within the white house. Its nearly all I've ever known, and based on the direction the country has gone, the thought of 8 more years of it makes me sick.
1980-1988 George Bush is VP for Reagan
1988-1992 George Bush is President
1992-2000 Bill Clinton is president
2000-2008 GWB is president
2008-2012 Hillary Clinton is secretary of state
2012-2016 no bush or clinton!!
2016-2024 ???
Please, lets get some new blood before I am 42 years old and this country is even worse off
