Bush, Having Trouble Raising Money, Cuts Salaries for Staffers
americanthinker.com ^ | August 26, 2015

Remember when Jeb Bush was on top of the polls? Or Scott Walker? Both have now fallen to the point where they are fighting for table scraps, tied for fourth place in New Hampshire. Bush has 7%, while Trump has 35%. A new national poll is no better for Bush, showing Trump with a 30-point lead (40% to 10%) over Bush. And now Bush is apparently having trouble raising money and, incredibly, paying staffers:

A prominent Florida donor backing Bush said the former Sunshine State governor and his supporting super PAC are having to work even harder to keep up the pace, as hard-money contributions have been harder to come by in recent weeks.

“The debate performance scared a few people,” said Brian Ballard, a Tallahassee lobbyist backing Bush.

This would be a good time for Gov Bush and Sen Graham to go find something else to do.

Kerry played possum during the Dean boomlet in 2003, and McCain did the same in October of 2007. He must withdraw. Until then, no celebrating. The RINOs will have an Establishment candidate or two, let it be Rubio and/or Kasich. Let them try to win it air and square.

We can hope. This proves one thing beyond all doubt- Americans of every stripe are SICK TO FREEKIN DEATH OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.

Trump is an idiot, and yet he is irresistibly refreshing as the only one who will honestly open his mouth and voice a thought. We need waaaay more of it. Not less

He is actually pulling from the Clinton/Obama playbook in a way. They commit their unspeakably evil acts faster than we can keep up with them and 80% are shoved aside as being ‘old news’ before ever getting a proper vetting.

Trump says so many outlandish things that he is on to the next before you can grill him for the previous. Rather than fall all over himself apologizing, explaining, walking it back, mollifying- - he will be right in the middle of one flap, look you in the eye, and launch the next.

It is a wonderful change of pace. He is the only one alive who can pull that off. I’m not so much a fan, but I don’t want him going away.
