Trump Pounces on Bush's Payroll Troubles
RCP ^ | Rebecca Berg

With Jeb Bush’s campaign already down after a decision this week to cut payroll and shrink the staff at its headquarters, Donald Trump piled on Saturday from a stage in Bush’s home state.

“Bush has no money,” the GOP frontrunner said at a rally here that drew thousands of supporters. “He’s meeting today with Mommy and Daddy, and they’re working on their campaign.”

Trump was referring to a retreat in Houston this weekend for Bush and his top donors, which will also be attended by Presidents George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush, and Barbara Bush. The event was scheduled well in advance of news of Jeb Bush’s woes, but the resulting cuts will likely be a prominent topic of discussion, along with next steps for the languishing campaign.

He’s already spent a fortune in advertising and his numbers haven’t budged. No one is going to keep bankrolling Jeb with results like that.

Bush now has the reputation of foolishly spending the largest bankroll of any of the candidates with nothing to show for it. That’s not exactly the reputation he needs to be president.

If bush can’t run a campaign, prevail with a message, attract voters, etc., he is not fit to lead a nation.

If bush can’t handle one opponent with a Twitter account, he isn’t fit to take on world powers.

Nobody going to give him any money

The Bush Dynasty must have plenty of it. They're begging for even more from deep-pocket donors who want to buy them, but not spending their own.

The Bush dynasty, shoulder to shoulder with the Clintons, exemplify everything that's wrong with politics and politicians in the US today.

Maybe not President, but it would make him the leading candidate to win the Democrat nomination.

Trump is letting us do a lot of this work and I don't know about you guys, but I'm having a blast....I picked up on this when he held up Grahams phone number that day, so I started doing so research and put it in posts, more people started looking at different people, so now when Trump drops something, I immediately start to research and what do you know...

I have a ton of pages of research on every one of these candidates, and I have to sit back and wonder if I had all this stuff in my closet, would I even dare to come out...

Oh the games are just beginning...wait until Trump starts in on the people of the super pacs, but I'm already doing research there...you best have a lot of popcorn....

Me too! Every time another “issue” crops up with ¿Yeb,? I trot over to his FB page and post it. I can tell you that most of the posts there are not from supporters, but from folks like me who delight in trashing him!

Barbara Bush needs to step in and put Jebbie out of his misery. He’s clearly not having a good time and he has no clue of how to campaign for President so how does he think he can be President?
