Patrick J. Buchanan, whatever you think of him, was one of the chief architects of the Republican Party's Southern Strategy which helped make it into a quasi-majority national party for a period in the late 20th and early 21st centuries using coded and wedged appeals to racists, religious fundamentalists, and white nativists. No one knows the GOP ruling class like their former lackey Pat. And this is how he sums up the neocon plutocrats' appeal for help, and Jeb's potential response:
"This time Sheldon wants to buy himself a winner... anybody running for the Republican nomination would want to have Sheldon at his side.
One such man is Jeb Bush, son and brother to presidents, who was the prize bull at Sheldon's cattle show. Daniel Ruth of the Tampa Bay Times speculates on Jeb's motive in showing up:
'Would you slink into Las Vegas to schmooze gambling mogul Sheldon Adelson who regards GOP presidential nominees as if they were trophy heads mounted in his den, if you had no interest in the White House? Bush is not going to Vegas to catch Meat Loaf's act at Planet Hollywood.'"
