Jeb Bush's announcement that he has "decided to actively explore the possibility of running for president of the United States" has sent center-right bundlers "rushing" in his direction, "draining" financial support for other candidates," The Washington Post reported.
Politico added that "money men" were cheering the Bush statement and that his Republican rivals will now have to "struggle to raise big cash."
Among those purportedly hardest hit by a prospective Bush candidacy are Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey.
"I think Jeb's decision this early unexpectedly freezes many potential donors and bundlers who were exploring going with Christie or another candidate," said John Horne, an Arkansas financier and Bush family confidante, the Post reported.

THAT'S what America needs. A family dynasty in the Presidency.
Jefferson, Adams, & Washington (to name a few) worried about something like that happening
ONE FAMILY exerting their ideas, soliciting HUGE bribes and spreading cronyism. Their tentacles would spread everywhere.
If he runs, the Democratic candidate (Hillary) will beat him so badly he'll shrink.
And she'll be using the "family dynasty" and "royal heritage" sticks to do that.
NO to Jeb Bush...RINO on steroids.
Come on.. most people who think Jeb Bush is a "RINO" are the same people who have not seen his track record as Florida's Governor. He cut everything... he was super conservative...so what he wants immigration reform.. so does Tea party Marco Rubio. So does the vast majority of America. Now common core is a silly stance and one he should reconsider.
We need a Trey Gowdy, not another bush or Robamney.
Good Lord, GOP, get a grip. Don't you watch YouTube?
