So in US politics, it pays to be member of a war monger clan?

BlackRock co-founder: Bush has more $ than all GOP competitors combined (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/wall-street-and-dc-insider-on-how-to-fix-washington-022954838.html#)

Wall Street and Washington veteran Ralph Schlosstein handicaps the 2016 election

By Joanna Campione 2 hours ago

Ralph Schlosstein knows what it takes to succeed on Wall Street. A co-founder of BlackRock (BLK), the largest asset manager in the world, Schlosstein today runs the independent investment advisory firm, Evercore (EVR).
But Schlosstein also knows Washington pretty well, having worked there from 1974 to 1981, initially as Deputy to the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Department and later as Associate Director of the White House Domestic Policy Staff, advising President Carter on urban policy and economic development. His wife, Ambassador Jane Hartley, is also a former Carter administration official and was a top campaign fundraiser who reportedly raised $500,000 for Obama in 2012. She was tapped as the United States’ top envoy to France and Monaco last year.

Trump can raise more money than Bush. He can take the businesswing of the GOP, grassroots, and his own wealth

Frankly, I think this Wall Street-Washington revolving door would be a great issue for Rand to emphasize. There's a lot of negativity surrounding it, even on the Dem side. Rand could use it to throw mud on a lot of his opponents.

If the voting public had any sense, they would actively punish those who receive more special interest money in order to dissuade future such special interest money from trying to control the government. However, the voting public is largely senseless.

All good points. Voters deserve the politicians they elect.

Perhaps so.
But Trump is leading ahead of Jeb Bush already in some polls now, look for Jeb to copy some of Trump talking points with modified wording/nuance.

Trump and Bush = the two worst performers against Hillary in every poll that has ever been conducted.
