He’s the $100 million man. Funding may have slowed down, but he’s not broke.

Right to Rise has already spent $20 million dollars of the $100 million already and no new money is coming in.

And Cruz has more hard money on hand than Bush. Bush Campaign supposedly has less than $5 million cash on hand.

IIRC, the bulk of his funding is PAC money. He just can’t use that any way he damn well pleases. He can’t pay staff salaries, travel, lodgings, etc.

The amount of ‘candidate raised’ funding he has is relatively small. Much smaller.

That PAC money is pledged I’m guessing for advocacy, generalize campaign ads on issues on the like. To my mind, that money could be swapped over to another more promising bet without much trouble.......

I could be wrong, usually am....but I still don’t think he can just use that bundle indiscriminately.

-—I wonder how much of that $100M is actual money. It could be big donors have pledged certain funds but either haven’t sent the check, or just trickle the funds over time. Either way something’s up considering GWB was headlining a fundraiser the other night in NYC. To bad Jeb just doesn’t drop out and take Perry, Rubio, and the rest with him
