good luck with that strategery, jeb.
Bush has enough money to torch his rivals......I don’t care how much money ANY candidate has. Does he have enough to say flat out “I’m not an asshole. Vote for me and I’ll give you $10,000 CASH?”
In a sane world, Jeb would have suspended his campaign and redistributed his available campaign coffer either back to the original donors, or to other more deserving and credible candidates.
This is not a sane world. The competition includes a highly articulate and charismatic billionaire and a soft-spoken and highly competent physician, neither of whom are professional politicians in any manner.
The Establishment Republicans are pretty much dead men walking for this election cycle, and the prognosis for recovery is getting dimmer every day.
The Last Hurrah? Scorched earth is such a sterile concept.
Oh really?
The big money is the soft PAC money, at the last FEC report period it was a tad over $100 mil. ¡JEB’s poor start out of the gate forced the PACs to commit about $25+ mil to media ads in just NH and Iowa. That’s 25+% of that PAC money by Sept 2015. The big donors are already skittish and that money has been rumored to slowed to a trickle. As of last week ¡JEB has not filed the latest required FEC report of donations and spending. The mark of a sick campaign.
