IT BEGINS: Bush staff sending out resumes

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

Several Jeb Bush campaign workers are already shopping their résumés with Florida political consultants as expectations mount inside his team that their candidate won’t push on after South Carolina.

“I can unequivocally tell you that people are looking for work, because they say they’ve been led to believe that they won’t have a job because the campaign won’t be around any longer or their jobs won’t because the campaign won’t 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 Saturday’s GOP primary if he performs poorly.

“I have people in [Marco] Rubio’s campaign and various campaigns I talk to and said ‘Hey, if it doesn’t work out for you, come and work for us,’” said one of the consultants. “Suddenly in the past week, I’m getting calls and they’re asking me: ‘Are you looking for somebody?’ And those people are exclusively Jeb people.”

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
