Jeb Bush orders across-board pay cuts as campaign struggles
Politico ^ | 10/23/15 | Alex Isenstadt and Eli Stokols

Jeb Bush on Friday ordered across-the-board pay cuts to his struggling presidential campaign and warned staff that job functions would change.

On a Friday conference call, top officials said resources would shift heavily to ballot access and voter contact.

One person on the Friday morning staff call said they were left with the impression that "very few people will be left in Miami."

Danny Diaz led the call. Sally Bradshaw also spoke. So did general counsel Megan Sowards.

Although campaign officials insisted they're still in strong shape, the moves — combined with Bush's stagnant poll numbers, despite millions having been spent by his Right to Rise super PAC on television ads over the last month — suggest otherwise.

According to donors, some of whom called for Bush to rein in its spending, the campaign's assurances that its organizational and financial advantages had worn thin; and the third quarter FEC report, filed last Thursday, gave further definition to their growing concerns about the state of the campaign.

“These donors are not finding these explanations by the Bush team believable," said one bundler, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "There’s a lot of frustration that a lot of money’s been spent and it hasn’t moved anything."

It was the Republican congress that slapped GWB down when he suggested a free market alternative to Social Security by privatizing a small portion of the account that the account holder would own.

In response, we got Medicare part D

Not a big fan of GWB, but the blame can’t entirely be laid at his feet.

Just keep digging, Jebby. I wonder if he thought that up all by himself.

Looking at an average of the principle polls over time, of the top six GOP contenders since September 1st, reveals some interesting trends.

Trump dropped while Carson and Fiorina rose...but then Trump recovered and Fiirina and Bush dropped, while Carson continued to ruise, and Rubio and Cruz also made modest gains.
