Mike Murphy FAIL!
GOOD!
Maybe the ad blitz should have been in English.
I think in general....the Super PACs have finally hit maximum velocity and can’t really influence elections to the degree that they did a decade ago. Social media helped to change their significance.
BUT!!!!!!!
You WILL notice that ALL of those millions of dollars went directly FROM Jeb!’s big donors TO Jeb! to the MEDIA HIRING the media writers and talking heads who ARE the only ones actively promoting Jeb’s campaigns ...
Follow the money.
No promotions and constant visuals about Jeb! = No money to the media stations and their actors and wroters and camera men hired by the media people running the advertisements.
There was a novel which had the main character suffering from impotence, and his efforts with a rather unresponsive female were described as ‘like trying to stuff an oyster through a coin slot’.
I hadn’t thought of that line in years, but it comes to mind for some reason with respect to the ¿Yeb? campaign.
Rove, Bush & Co squandering millions on a candidate with utterly zero appeal. None.
In this election cycle, purchased advertising may matter little, for the first time.
It’s all about pop culture, and perception therein. The best SNL skit, Youtube clip, Twitter feed etc. wins.
This a challenge to big ...... as donors.
I spent $4.8 million and all I got was a negative article.
So JEB! spends TWICE what Donald Trump has spent on his whole campaign on a SINGLE ad blitz in a SINGLE state and it gains JEB! nothing? This definitely establishes JEB! as GOPee! ;-)
Now people can see, up close and ugly, just how futile urinating into the wind can be.
The tide has gone out, and the vessel which Jeb meant to ride is now stranded in the mud flats.
The best the big money boys can do now is go for the salvage rights. There are going to be a lot of unemployed “advisers” in just a few more weeks.
Gee...wonder why?
I guess the Yeb! jackass strategy of losing the primaries in order to win the general is succeeding.
Maybe he ought to stand on his tippee-toes a bit higher.
Jebbie spends almost 2 1/2 times that amount on advertising in tiny New Hampshire and has zero to show for it.
Can't wait to see Jebbie's financials later today. I think he's the only candidate waiting until the absolute latest possible time to file his statement. It's sure to be embarrassing.
This tall blonde dude with nice suits and a pretty wife continues to have a profound effect on things. And I ain’t talking about Jeb
Sugar in your TEA?
What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?
This is the craziest {GOPe} party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
{Bar says} "That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"

While Bush’s lack of appeal is undeniable, this is the latest instance of a recent phenomenon: television ads may not be working anymore. Another example is the $1M anti-Trump campaign from Club For Growth that had very little/no effect.
A LOT less people watch TV ads these days. I was wondering if that was going to start having an effect on elections. I’m extreme about it, so we watch ZERO commercials in this house. However, even in normal homes, the amount of network/cable television ads that are actually seen has to be dwindling by the day. People are cancelling television and relying on Netflix/Hulu/Amazon, etc. People who DO still have old style TV are time shifting their shows and forwarding through commercials.
Trump seems to me to be the candidate who is most plugged into social media and that seems to be giving more bang for the buck than television advertising. Something to watch.
Interesting times...
