 It’s no secret that Jeb Bush will rake in hundreds of millions of dollars once he finally declares he’s running for president as a Republican next week. By some estimates,Bush’s haul could hit a record $500 million this year alone, most of it donated through a so-called super PAC called Right to Rise that can accept unlimited amounts from rich donors. But Bush’s success as a candidate may depend on two money issues beyond his control. First, other Republicans may be able to raise enough cash of their own to battle Bush deep into next year’s primary elections and leave him bruised if he does emerge as the GOP nominee. And second, Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton could match or even better Bush in fundraising, plus she faces much lighter opposition in the Democratic primaries and can keep most of her powder dry for the gene.
