The pro-Jeb Bush super PAC Right to Rise on Friday ordered a series of shifts in TV advertisement time — a decision that is potentially fraught with implications for Bush's candidacy.The group had planned to begin airing commercials on Monday in Virginia, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, and Oklahoma — all states that hold primaries on March 1. But Right to Rise on Friday moved the start dates for the ads three days later, to Thursday, according to two media tracking sources.
The shift appears small. But in altering the start date from Monday to Thursday, Right to Rise gives itself the opportunity to save money in the event Bush decides to end his campaign following the New Hampshire primary.
The undying loyalty that Bush's backers have for his father and brother have given them the patience to sit around and watch their money burn like gasoline-soaked straw. The high point of this campaign was when it was rumored that the Little Prince would run. It's been a sad thing to watch since the day he announced.
Jeb likes to tout his tenure as governor of Florida (which ended almost a decade ago) as the reason he should be president, and maybe he was a good governor for them. Florida Republicans voted for Charlie Crist right after that though, so let's say I'm not a big fan of their choices.
This was a candidacy that had no reason for being other than the last name of the candidate.
Which he just happens to be running into the ground at the moment.
Carly isn't dropping out...
The RNC should pay her just to be Hillary stalking horse on women issues..
Love him or hate him, it’s hard to deny that Trump is the major reason for Jebs decline.
They’re leaving her out of the next debate.
The rest of the undercard field has exited, she’s the only one. Awkward.
I hope Yeb stays in.
He won’t win but he will draw some votes from The Bubble Boy(Rubio).
Is it possible to run the Bush name any further underground?
I'm thinking it's somewhere lower than those folks who recently tried to drill past the Earth's crust into the mantle.
>> March 2nd. After that it’s probably Cruz, Trump, and Rubio
In that order. :-)
Go Ted Cruz!
Profoundly bad for at least one of his constituents.
“Jeb” == “Just *exit*, bruh.”
TN primary is March 1.
ABC is ANTI-WOMAN!!! Leaving Carly out is DISGUSTING!
Not true. Gilmore’s still in it to win it.
Bottom of the barrel, GOPe establishment folks preparing to rally round Rubio......
1. When he started the campaign he said he didn't need the Republican base to win (shear genius).
2. He's a country without borders guy (that had to entrench him to that base he doesn't need).
3. He's heavily into common core (I wonder if he even knows what it is (Since he loves it he also obviously loves the DOE and, probably, Michelle lunches)).
4. He's a global warmist.
5. Fill in the blank.
By all accounts he was a pretty good governor, probably because he was and did and said none of these things. He ran on items 1 through 5 and not on his record. Ergo, 1 through 5 became his record.
No candidate is that stupid. Only a guy who wanted as far away from the oval office as a guy can get would campaign to deliberately push voters away. He did help the economy by pumping a hundred million of other people's money into circulation. That's a plus.
