Rush has said repeatedly that the reason Bush is the presumptive nominee is that he has "all the money."
Well, I think it was in the Hannity interview that Trump said Bush has raised $114m. (Can anyone verify this number?) Trump said Hillary had raised $60m (really low). By my calculations Cruz has raised about $65m. (Again, can anyone verify?)
But Trump said his annual income is $400m. So he can outspend Bush, Hillary, and Cruz put together and still have just under $200m for his jet.
Cruz has MUCH more than that and more coming in. He is the hard money (campaign, not PACs) leader for both parties.
It’s been known for a while that Jeb has over $110 million. The GOPe have deep pockets but shallow minds.
I'm no expert, but I doubt that number is a $400mil cash flow. I suspect it is his reported income which would include capital gains, investment growth, and other forms of income that aren't' directly convertible to cash that he could spend on his campaign. Not that it matters, because even if only a quarter of his income is cash, he can still outspend the rest of the field combined.
The shame is that there has to be so much money to run for office……any office.
Any figure the Clintons put out is pure fiction.....agit-prop to sustain her flopola candidacy.
Bill was recently spotted in Paris. He's globe-trotting to the Clintons' numerous offshore accounts...wire-transferring money into Hillary's campaign accounts.
=================================================
LAUGH BREAK A Clinton campaign official recently said that "91% of Hillary's donations came from people giving $100 or less."
Balderdash...... more trickery and lies from the conniving corrupt Clintons.
Same lies 2012 Obama used....said he was so popular he raised "a billion dollars from small donors"....then later in the campaign he said he was "borrowing money to continue".
And the hillarious part is that to date, the Trump campaign is spending very little. Nothing on ads. Looks like just staff and transportation.
Half of that 100M is coming from RATS who want him to win the GOP nomination.
Jeb would loose to just about anyone they throw at him.
Financially its cheaper to push Jeb than fight Trump, Cruz or Walker in the main event.
He does? How much does he have?
Plus Trump is going to be making money hand over fist selling his political merchandise at his online store, especially his hats.
I can tell you this with certainty: it’s more than I make.
Again, Trump excepted. By far. But where do you have a source for Cruz’s money?
I’m a Cruz bundler. Look below.
Yes, but that’s not a source on how much he has. Do you have a source on that?
Let me put it this way. One lady here in Texas, a bundler, has raised more money, by herself (in chunks of $2,700 or smaller) than all the money that Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, Jim Gilmore, Carly Fiorina and Rick Santorum have in their war chests, combined.
I only saw part of that but I noticed he has started to put out some specifics about his policies.
About time...
Here’s the best I could find:

Looks like Jeb and Cruz may be about even in what they’ve raised for their own campaign, instead of via complementary PACs, depending on how this third quarter is going, so you may be right.
(Looks like Hill had about 2 1/2 times as much, but who knows where she is now.)
