Pro-Jeb Bush super PAC drops $6 million on Fox News ads
Sunlight Foundation ^ | 11/9/15 | Melissa Yeager

Posted on 11/09/2015 11:36:52 AM PST by jimbo123

After struggling to gain traction in the 2016 race, Jeb Bush's campaign announced last week it is relaunching the campaign. It appears his super PAC is doling out some significant cash to encourage the campaign to lift-off.

According to independent expenditure disclosures that we spotting on Sunlight's Real-Time Federal Campaign Finance tracker, it appears Right To Rise USA is doubling down and going after the Republican base by placing more than $6.6 million dollars in ads exclusively on the Fox News Channel. The super PAC spent $18,932 producing those commercials, which were placed by a Virginia-based firm known as Oath Strategies, LLC.

We don't know exactly which commercials that expense purchased, but just last week Right to Rise USA posted this 15-second spot on YouTube promoting Jeb Bush's nickname of "Veto Corleone," a play on the name "Vito Corleone" from the movie "The Godfather."

It's unclear during which shows those ads will run, for how long the ads will run - and whether Right to Rise USA knows that Vito dies in the first movie of the trilogy. (Also, good luck reading that microscopic disclaimer.)

Someone's gotta pay Megyn Kelly and Karl Rove's salaries at Fox, right?

As if the implied endorsement by almost all of the Fox News talking heads isn’t enough...

Looks like Rupert Murdoch told Mike Murphy to cough up his donors’ cash or Jeb’s gonna get the hook.

Hot dang! The most dynamic political candidate in recent history is about to take the country by storm! I hope he decided to use the slogan I suggested: “Jeb - he’s not as butt-stupid as he acts!” Maybe he’ll send me a free campaign button...

I'm typing what I am thinking. Question:

Why would Yeb be trying still if this whole thing is not already a set up?

The whole political machine is fishy.

Why would he not drop out seeing his numbers are so bad?

Dana on the 5 on Friday putting down Trump and sticking up for yebby. Why?(I knwo why) Megyn asking Trump those stupid questions about women.......I wanted to reach through the TV and choke her Father forgive me. GO TRUMP more than ever.

I have seen the commericals on Fox. They suck. You see a pictures of “Jeb!” signs and then a very boring man named Jeb talks. One of the worst political commercials ever seen.

Dead campaign walking.

I do not think redefinition of a candidate as familiar as Bush is possible at this point. He's at 4% and at 4% he will stay.

Primary voters have weighed Yeb and have found him a squish.

ALL the MONEY in the world is NOT going to get Jeb Bush elected.

Fox did, however, get their windfall piece of the pie from the Bush "stash".

OK, if you are the campaign manager for John Ellis Bush, what kind of ad do you make?

If you go negative on Trump, his response will get more air time (and free!) than your original ad.

If you go negative on the others, you help Trump more than yourself.

If you emphasize the family connections, you go from 4% to 2%, as even people who like the Bush family know that's a loser's strategy.

So all is left are the positive aspects of two terms as governor of Florida. That's not awful, but it is yawn inducing.
