A super PAC backing former Florida governor Jeb Bush is likely to fall short of collecting $100 million by the end of this month, despite widespread expectations that the group would hit that record-breaking sum, according to people close to the operation.
The exact size of the war chest is closely held, but two individuals familiar with internal discussions believe the total that the Right to Rise super PAC will report in mid-July could be substantially lower than the nine figures that senior Republicans have anticipated.
That would be a major psychological blow for Bush’s operation, whose fundraising prowess has raised expectations about how much cash it has been amassing. Bush’s schedule for the past five months has been dominated by high-priced fundraisers for the super PAC, helping the group stockpile tens of millions.

And now Right to Rise is laying off staffers.
Grab some popcorn!
I just love it when a plan comes together....NO BUSHES!!!!
My heart bleeds. Go home to mama Jebbie, you will never be president.
The GOP electorate is rejecting Jeb Bush in growing numbers. A growing number of Democrats are looking for an alternative to Hillary. Folks, I realize we shouldn’t get excited yet, and I know the votes haven’t been casted yet, but it looks more and more likely that Jeb and Hillary won’t get the nominations of their parties. The country is on life support, but we haven’t kicked the bucket yet. Keep that spirit alive out there.
I love that picture! :):)
Jeb is going to ride Hillary’s coattails down.
Cornyn started this early in 2013 for the 2014 election.

times 50? How much money does the Bush Team have?
Media loves it, their pay day.
I will be happy when he is rating 1 or 2 percent. I don’t trust at all the media, billionaires, globalists. and GOPe. I want to see him crushed.
the good thing is there are other rinos running to take some points from him, i.e., Pataki, linda, rubio
Bush and Right To Rise wanted to do the Cornyn thing but they aren’t raising enough money.
Hell, they’re laying off staffers because their overhead is growing substantially faster than their donations.
Poor Jeb!
Also, Bush was banking on Right to Rise to pay for all the TV advertising but they’re not raising enough money.
And Bush campaign itself is going to have a harder time than Right To Rise to fundraise since regular voters and smaller donors don’t like Jeb. Without grassroots support, they’re going to be toast in GOTV efforts.
Their grand plan is falling apart.
So much for Jebbie’s shock and awe.
Jebbie’s on the receiving end of shock and awe by the grassroots as well as larger donors who have decided that he’s just a squishy RINO designated loser.
Even if Jeb Clampett Bush raises 100 million, it does not mean squat.
Cruz will probably come close to raising that same amount.
I.e. Cruz will have plenty of money to counter Jebs money.
So, it’s a wash for Little Jebbie.
Bush is also planning to spend all of their money in TV ads (with many of them in Spanish on the Mexican channels)following the Karl Rove strategy that flopped last year.
Jeb’s top digital advertising strategist just quit as a result of this decision to pump all the money into TV ads.
Cruz will have plenty of money to counter Jebs money...
and boots on the ground.
I love it when a plan comes together!

You are to hung up on labels. The RNC gets the message.
