As some in Florida have long suspected, the rumored fix to help former Florida Governor Jeb Bush win the 2016 Republican presidential nomination has already come to pass.

The Intercept was able to obtain emails between Jeb Bush and state Representative Matt Gaetz where the two men are coordinated 'the fix' by pushing back Florida's presidential primary to favor the former governor.

State Representative Matt Gaetz wrote to Bush on January 2 that he is "concerned that Florida's current primary date will lead to proportional allocation of delegates" and that a "winner take all" system would be preferable.

"Unless you ask me otherwise, I'll file legislation to move our primary date back a week," Gaetz told Bush, who responded to say that his political advisor Sally Bradshaw would give Gaetz a call. "10 4," Gaetz shot back.

The email exchange had begun with Bush emailing Gaetz, the son of State Senator Don Gaetz, president of the Florida Senate in the previous session. Bush thanked the younger Gaetz for his "willingness to head to Iowa to go door to door," adding, "Wow, what a generous offer! Happy New Year!"-The Intercept

Gaetz's boss, House Speaker Steve Crisafulli, has already endorsed Jeb Bush for his upcoming 2016 presidential run, and now the bill filed that would push back Florida's primary to March 15 was rushed through the legislature and recently signed into law by current Florida Governor Rick Scott.

...

Aside from the Bush team's $50 million "Homeland Security" effort to shore up Florida for the Jeb, Team Jeb had to bus in supporters to help suppress any and all jeering by activists at his recent CPAC Q & A session in Washington, D.C.
