Press sources as diverse as the Boston Herald and the Oman Daily Observer indicate Jeb is acting more and more like a big time Establishment presidential candidate. This month, Jeb will visit New Mexico and Nevada to stump for GOP governors running for reelection. Most importantly, in an effort to get the "family values" vote, Jeb will appear in Las Vegas and address leaders of a Republican group led by major plutocrat donor and Macao casino mogul Sheldon Adelson. Last month Jeb appeared remotely by video at Donald Trump's Palm Beach estate during an event, and was given a heartier applause line than in person Tea Party shiller, Ted Cruz.
"Jeb is striking a chord amongst many thoughtful donors [meaning those with the money]", said Fred Malek, finance chairman of the Republican Governors Association. Then came the boilerplate kicker: "He's a proven conservative. But at the same time, he is not viewed as extreme or an ideologue [meaning he can package himself as whatever it takes to win an election] and therefore can appeal to the moderate element of the party as well."
Getting the game on!
