Bush doubles down, preps major ad blitz
Washington Examiner ^ | 12/26/15 | CURT MILLS

Posted on 12/26/2015 8:06:07 AM PST by jimbo123

Jeb Bush and his super PAC are set to assault New Hampshire airwaves with a series of ads leading up the first-in-the-nation presidential primary.

The spending looks like an effort by Bush to empty campaign coffers, filled in a fundraising haul started in late 2014, in a last ditch effort to gain ground in a state famous for anointing the Republican establishment standard-bearer.

This strategy includes two ads from Bush's PAC, Right to Rise. Those ads are set to air in New Hampshire during the Super Bowl.

The Boston Herald reported that the Bush team has reserved more than $14 million in commercials on stations in New Hampshire and Boston. Candidates in New Hampshire buy in the Boston market to reach New Hampshire voters.

-snip-

Bush's team is betting a spate of ads can help the candidate gain ground in New Hampshire, where he needs to improve his standing to remain viable in the race for the Republican nomination. RealClearPolitics' average of Granite State primary polls shows Bush is in sixth place, with support from 7.8 percent of GOP primary voters.

I think the winner usually gets about 100,000 votes.
So that works out to $140 per (hoped for) vote.
For just this one ad campaign.

If Bush has the money for ad buys, more power to him.

Just one question though - what, exactly, is he selling?

Next thing you know the super PAC will be selling Jebbie Chia Pets to raise money.

... throwing lots of money ...

Methinks Bush bought pigs in pokes with his campaign "advisers". They're shaking him down for every bent nickel via their "advice".

JEB's even more of a dunce than he appears, if he can't even poll decently in his "home" state.

All of the Cheap Labor Express’ money can’t make Yeb! acceptable to voters.

We do not want the USA turned into North Mexico!

Good. The faster that Yeb runs out of other people’s money to spend the better. Hopefully if he runs through another $30 million and drops a couple more points in the polls he will finally go away.

Amazing how Daddy Bush and W undermined conservatives in so many ways and yet the Republican establishment thinks Jeb is the answer. It’s hard to comprehend the stupidity of it all. Brings to mind the Karl Marx quote:

History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

W was the tragedy. Jeb is the farce.

You and me know what the real deal is and it is not guacamole. You take the avocado and serve it on the side as sliced avocado that you eat along with your meal. The avocados slices being like little pats of butter

When I think of the John Ellis Bush campaign, I think of Jonathan Winters struggling on that little girl's bike in "It's a Mad mad Mad Mad World".

It would appear so. There's a fine line between dumb, delusional and desperate.

Wait. That would be two fine lines.

When Trump wins the nomination, Jeb will not support the Republican nominee. Why not cut to the chase and become Hillary’s running mate now?
