{UAH} The 17-year story behind Marco Rubio’s cut-down of Jeb Bush - The Washington Post

It started in 1998, with a $50 check out of the blue.

The money was a donation from one of the highest-placed men in Florida politics — Jeb Bush, the son of a former president who was about to be elected governor — to one of the lowest. Marco Rubio, 26, was running for the city commission in tiny West Miami.

"I remember him showing it off," a Rubio friend recalled. " 'I got a check from Jeb Bush!' "

In the years to come, the two men formed an alliance that, at times, even looked like a politician's odd version of friendship.
