Amid the concerns of top financial donors that he's lagging too far behind in polls, Jeb Bush signaled on Monday that he's got plenty of money in the bank to stay on the campaign trail leading up to next year's early primaries.
The Bush campaign announced plans to reserve -- but not outright buy -- $7.8 million in television advertisement time in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina in January and February. By reserving time, a campaign is able to lock in a certain ad rate in advance and get first dibs on the best time slots before other campaigns and super PACs try doing the same thing at a later point.
"As voters in early states and beyond get to know Jeb Bushs record and vision, he is building support," said campaign press secretary Kristy Campbell. "Our campaign will have the resources needed to be competitive throughout the calendar, ensuring Governor Bush is the nominee."
State-by-state, the Bush campaign has reserved $1 million in air time in Iowa; $4.6 million in New Hampshire; and $2.2 million in South Carolina, she said.

Did Right to Rise just cut off Jeb and force him to spend his own campaign's money? Enquiring minds want to know!

His ads will do only one thing - make people sick enough that they will do anything to defeat him.

******************
Interesting that the larger reserves are in the two primary
states and not the caucus event.

He’s definitely try to win the nomination.
But his votes don’t come from our side.

This is why Trump can get out-maneuvered. Does he have the brainpower in his campaign to do the right things with ad-buys, getting on the ballots, getting the vote out, etc.? On 60 minutes, his staff looked like two interns in a basement.

Mittens spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the White House.
Last I checked, Willard got nowhere near it.

Trump doesn’t need to make himself known.
And he certainly doesn’t need the humongous staff many presidential campaigns boast.
Two aides is plenty.

His ads are already appearing on Boston TV....aimed at New Hampshire,no doubt.Nauseating doesn’t even *begin* to describe them.

There was a time that South of the Border (infamous locally for putting the initials "S.O.B." on their water tower lol) was quite the tourist attraction, but it's been years since I've been in that locale, I've heard a few people say it has become quite run down, which is a shame.
My parents stopped there on the way north in 1954 when it was nothing but a coffee shop.

I doubt there are enough shovels in existence for Jebra to be able to dig out from the statements he’s made this campaign season.
All anyone would have to do is make one 1.5 minute spot replaying them.
Adios Jebra.
