Peyton & Eli Manning each donate $2,700 to the Jeb Bush campaign



Peyton Manning, quarterback of the Denver Broncos, has contributed money to Jeb Bush's campaign.

According to a report, Manning donated $2,700, which is the maximum amount the Federal Election Commission will allow an individual to contribute to a primary campaign.

He follows in the footsteps of his younger brother and fellow NFL quarterback Eli Manning, who also donated $2,700 to the former Florida governor.

Not at UT, Indy, or now. He also is really best buds with the Papa Johns lowlife as I understand it.

Manning and his wife, Abby, are the star attractions of the event at the Madison Bar & Grill in Hoboken, where supporters of the Democratic mayor will watch the Miami Dolphins play the New Orleans Saints, the team for which Manning’s father, Archie, played from 1971 to 1982.

Especially after papa Archie bullied the Chargers into not taking Eli.

That said, glad they wasted the money, Jebbie's going no where.

I wouldn't be surprised if Payless was funneling quite a few extra-larges to Jeb!'s SuperPAC on the side.
