'$50 to turn up for Jeb Bush's final rally because organizers need high energy seat fillers' - desperation and claims of dirty tricks on the last campaign day in Iowa.
Daily Mail Online reporter is offered $25 an hour to go to Jeb's last rally in Iowa because candidate needs people to be 'high energy'.
Offer was made as Daily Mail Online visited a Rand Paul campaign event - and reporter was told: 'You don't have to listen, just applaud'.
At event man shouted from the floor that he hadn't been paid - and was told by Jeb to 'get out'. Then Bush claimed offer is dirty tricks from rivals.
Jeb's campaign claims it was a 'prank' organized by rivals - although who that could be was unclear.
With the clock ticking down in Iowa desperation has started to kick in with candidates attempting to squeeze every last vote.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in the extraordinary offer made to Daily Mail Online outside Rand Paul's first event of the day - a roundtable in the unprepossessing Hyvee Supermarket just off Route 6, Hickman Road, Waukee.
Before the man of the moment arrived two young men approached asking people asking if they wanted to make a bit of extra money.
'$$ Earn Fast Cash Today!' read the fliers they carried in hand. 'Seat fillers needed TODAY at 12pm for campaign event.'
The offer was simple: $25 an hour to turn up to Jeb Bush's rally in the Embassy Suites by Hilton - Central Atrium on Locust Street, Des Moines - a maximum of $50.

Who would go to the trouble to do that?
If I was in Iowa, I wouldn’t show up for anything less than 500 bucks... want more energy, that will be another 500.
They do a good lunch buffet at that Embassy Suites. I used to work about 800 feet away. Is lunch included?
Did he run out of pocket turtles?
JEB! Thinks like a Democrat.
theyre not going to be very high energy if they spend that $50 on booze before the rally...
LOL. I’d give it about a 9 for entertainment value... and there’s LOTS more to come!
The other Bushes governed like Democrats.
Why not Free Tacos?
I am sure it they don’t get paid we will hear about it.
This smells of Karl Rove. Dead fish rotting in the sun.
Oh my! Outed! Best. Election. Ever.
High energy seat filllers needed to support the candidacy of the ultimate low energy seat filler.
This smacks of creating excuses for an imminent loss.
A runner who shows up at the starting line and complains that someone stole his running shoes.
“Come on guuuys! How am I supposed to race now?!”
I would demand free beer and lots of it.

Rent-A-Mob is usually a democrat/socialist trick.
Nobody would be stupid enough to distribute a flyer offering $25/hr to sit at a campaign rally and then put the name of their campaign on the bottom. Nobody could possibly be that stupid, right?
