The chairman (click here) of the 2016 Texas GOP Victory Fund told a newspaper in the state’s capital he is not supporting the party’s presumptive nominee Donald J. Trump.
“I, along with others, are not in a position to endorse at this time because of concerns about his rhetoric and his inability to create a campaign that brings people together,” saidTexas Land Commissioner George P. Bush told the Austin-American Statesman.
The son of former GOP candidate and former Florida governor John E. “Jeb” Bush and the nephew of President George W. Bush and the grandson of President George H.W. Bush told the paper he has no plan to endorse Trump—unless the New York City developer changes to his liking....

What could be called "Jeb Bush's Follies" in Florida (click here) is getting worse. Sanford-Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute is considering leaving Lake Nona, near Orlando. A subsidy orgy began in 2003 when San Diego's Scripps Research Institute got a $500 million handout to set up an operation in Palm Beach County.
Two other San Diego-based research institutes joined Scripps in Florida with fat subsidies in hand: Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (near Orlando) and Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies (Port St. Lucie.). But as the Readerreported, Florida was shelling out more than $1 billion per created job — a staggering sum.
In May of this year, Orlando media were reporting that Sanford-Burnham was getting ready to depart Florida. So the state decided to throw good money after bad: the University of Florida would take over Sanford-Burnham. But that will cost $3.7 million per year, according to the Orlando Business Journal. On June 9, the University of Florida Educational Policy & Strategic Initiatives committee said it was in "positive discussions" with the State Department of Economic Opportunity and governor Rick Scott's office....

It's really brilliant, because it's double-barreled.
Let's call it Trump's double-barreled shotgun strategy. Today we can we see how he is implementing it, day by day.
Trump's generalship is fabulous. He has probably used his DBS strategy before in his showbiz and business careers. I don't know. But you can watch it evolve from day to day.
You decide if his DBS strategy works. I think it's George Patton against the Panzer Brigades....
Public Education Finances; 2014 (click here)
Typical Republican never say die attitude. Sanford-Burnham is moving on and an Op-Ed shows up. Needless to say, "JEB!" is not vying for Secretary of Education in the Trump Administration.
He has a lucrative foundation that can be at risk if his policies fail.

As another school year ends (click here) and another $620 billion has been spent, it is a good time to consider the state of education in America. Despite our spending more on education than almost any other industrialized nation in the world, wide achievement gaps remain. More than a million students languish on waiting lists for the chance to escape failing schools. And according to a recent study by The Education Trust, only 8 percent of U.S. high-school graduates are truly college or career ready....
