Is Jeb Bush Getting Ready To Drop Out Of The Race?
The Federalist ^ | 10/23/15 | Federalist Staff

Posted on 10/25/2015 7:33:21 AM PDT by jimbo123

With new reports that Jeb's campaign is hemorrhaging cash and slashing staff salaries, it might be time to start asking when, not if, Jeb will drop out.

Jeb Bush has been having a rough couple of days.

According to Politico, Jeb has decided to cut the salaries of all his campaign staff in an effort to save dwindling funds. Employees were informed that their salaries would be reduced during a conference call this morning.

The move to cut staffers salaries makes sense, as Bush has been hemorrhaging cash for a while now. The most recent financial disclosure reports reveal that Bush burned through 86 percent of the $13.4 million he raised over the past three months. He currently has less cash on hand than opponents Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Ben Carson. This recent cutback is only the latest of his campaign’s attempts to trim down costs. Over the past several months, staffers salaries have been incrementally slashed and the campaign has been staying in cheaper hotels when they travel.

Is Jeb dropping out soon? We'll know more tomorrow night after his family meetings. Jeb doesn't have enough money coming in to make it to February, even with the cutbacks and layoffs. So will his family loan him the money he needs to make it to February? Enquiring minds want to know...

I did not read that Columba attended the weekend meeting. Don’t these candidates have to confer with the wife before entering or leaving a race?

I'd bet that the plan from a couple of days ago was to hang in there for another couple months.

But after the reveal about his finance director making $1.3M, and his temper tantrum about having better things to do than run for president, and the story about how his family and his advisors feel overwhelmed and confused about the mood of the electorate ... I wonder if he'll still be in the race a week from now.

Nah, I want this GOPe critter to stay to the end to help split the RINO vote with despicable candidates such as the traitor Rubio.

Jeb has been effectively cut off by his donors. There is no more new money coming in. And his donors are mad at the Bush family for Jeb’s failure.

So will his family lend him the money he needs to make it to February?

We’ll know tomorrow night.

Well my guess is if Jeb does not drop out before Wed night and still attends the debate that will be the end of him. You just know Trump will make him defend Dubya the whole night. Barbara Bush needs to pull the plug before then.

I have a feeling Jeb doesn’t want to endure another debate. It’s going to be brutal.

Jeb running out of money? Watta shockeroo.

The "genius" Karl Rove showed Jebbie how to raise hundreds of millions
(like Karl raised for sure-winner Mitt Romney).

Karl told Jebbie he didn't need those horrible judgemental conservatives.....lots of money for well-placed ads is more important.

Karl told Jebbie the "multitudes" were rooting for him----moderates and independents..... and besides......

....hordes of Hispanics pouring over the border would swing the election to Jebito at the drop of a burrito.
