Jeb Bush Super PAC Chief Praises Marco Rubio Donor’s Anti-Donald Trump Skywriting Campaign

BigGovernment- The head of the major Super PAC backing former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush for president, Mike Murphy, praised the efforts of a donor to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) to attack billionaire 2016 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump by skywriting nasty messages at the Rose Bowl on Friday.

“Not us but can’t argue with it!” Murphy, the head of Right to Rise USA, Tweeted on Friday with an image of the anti-Trump skywriting.

Because Murphy was behind a previous anti-Trump effort involving a plane—he hired a plane to fly above a Trump rally in Alabama with an anti-Trump banner on it—people suspected that Murphy was behind this latest effort.

But it turns out, actually, that Rubio donor Luther Stan Pate IV—a Tuscaloosa real estate tycoon worth millions—was the one behind the effort.

Thus far, Rubio is keeping the maximum-allowable-by-law political contribution to his campaign that Pate made—all $2,700 worth.

Pate and his allies—and Rubio’s allies—have been desperately trying to separate Rubio from the underhanded effort. Pate claimed in an interview with Breitbart News that he’s not backing any particular candidate, and in addition to a private meeting he had with Rubio a year ago, he also hosted Bush aboard his private jet.  more here

  1. The GOP establishment elite step up the attack on trump.

    If you can’t elevate yourself by good works and articulation of issues, attack and try to tear down your opponent.

    Dishonorable and juvenile.
    Pretty well describes bush and rubio’s campaigns in a nutshell.

  2. In sports, people tend to root for the underdog to beat the odds.
    In politics, not so much – Conservatives are fighting against a crooked lying opposition party, the dishonest liberal media, and now traitors who are supposed to be on the same team.

    I’m rooting for the underdog like never before. There’s too much at stake to look at it any other way.

  3. The world is imploding and we have cowardly punks spending $ on this crap?

    Observe how they laugh and high five one another while they do it….these imbeciles think it’s clever.

  4. That is precisely why, whenever someone takes a swipe at Trump, no matter what it seems to be about, his numbers go up. Conservatives for Trump know exactly why — for the reason you state — but it is driving his opponents crazy. I think either they also know exactly why, but can’t change the fact that the gov’t they created is so corrupt and ridiculous they can’t change their spots, or they really have no clue about just how freakin’ angry conservatives are over their betrayals. Either way, their response — trying to kill Trump’s candidacy — is unacceptable. What makes this especially interesting and wonderful is that Trump doesn’t have anyone running interference for him. No legions of opposition research digging through dumpsters, no journalists championing him in prime time, no ghostwriters churning out books about his dreams, and very few bloggers who are committed to his nomination. How incredibly weird is that?

    In fact the entire GOP establishment, the entire Democrat establishment, the media, a majority of conservative bloggers, and even the nation’s college campuses are arrayed against him.

    God is good.

  5. Interesting piece. A little too dramatic for my tastes, and the word choices make it so. I think the writer could have easily used the virtuous language of the warrior to make his point but that’s not what his own blog is about.

  6. Cold anger… conservative treehouse has some really good articles on just what you said. For those so inclined, get in a comfy chair and read a while.

    Make no mistake – I am not plugging the site. This one and that one are two of four I go to every day for news and commentary and not one is lame stream media. Happy New Year btw
