Jeb Bush's presidential bid is coming through a rough spot, and a drop in campaign donations is forcing the former Florida governor to make some of his campaign trips on commercial planes.

The less than glamorous travel arrangements are due to an unexpected drop in fundraising during August, the Washington Post reported, and may require a bit of adjustment for a candidate who spent most of the year traveling on private jets to campaign events.

So Jeb is throwing his Hail Mary before the second GOP debate. Hillary is crashing and burning and may go to jail. With all the bad stuff going on in our country, its good to have these small consolations to cheer me up.

Jeb has to fly economy!

Of course, he’s not a billionaire like The Donald.

But what is Jeb to do?

No it doesn’t.
There is nothing Jeb can say or do in the next debate that will interest the base, the base that he did not want or need, in making him the Republican candidate for president.
Save your money and go home Jeb. CARSON is beating you. You don’t stand a chance.

Jeb should just encapsulate his recent policy announcements, walk off the stage and withdraw.

If he’s looking for a moment to redeem himself, that’s as good as it’s going to get.

The Right To Rise PAC has the $100 million.

The Jeb Campaign supposedly has less than $3 million cash on hand right now.

a drop in campaign donations is forcing Bush to make some of his campaign trips on commercial planes.

Mexican officials told the Bush campaign Monday they would lend the candidate an airplane, as soon as it's inspected and finishing touches are complete.

Boo hoo. Jeb's big donors are holding back and rather rich Jeb and the dynasty won't spend their own money for a private plane?

Why doesn't he just GO AWAY? I don't think anybody even likes him. Unless maybe he's more tolerable to those he's speaking to in Illegalese.

“He’s got $100 MILLION!!”

That’s not entirely accurate. Something I saw recently showed that he had more than $100 million pledged, but only something on the order of $8 million in his campaign bank account. Watch the donors pull back those pledges next week when he sails into the dumper Wednesday night.

I keep reading this about Jeb from all different news sources. I think it's wishful thinking on the media's part.

He has already said he was going 'macho' in the CNN debate...he's going to punch back hard. Maybe CNN should run a caution beforehand that there may be extreme violence.

Maybe he should ask Trump for an occasional lift.
