It says a lot about the malaise afflicting the once-high-flying Jeb Bush for President effort that the most upbeat thing two Politico reporters could find to say is that Team Bush has done a good job of convincing key donors to ignore all the objective evidence that the campaign is going nowhere fast.
But such acts of hypnosis are not easily extended to the circling media vultures smelling death, or for that matter, to actual voters. So what is to be done by a presidential campaign that still has quite a bit of money over at the super-pac run by veteran political consultant Mike Murphy, but is selling a well-known product that consumers just don't seem to like?
According to Politico's Stokols and Caputo, there's a sort of doomsday scenario kicking around Bush world that should send a frisson of fear into other candidates' camps:
Mike Murphy, the Los Angeles-based ad man running Bush-s Right to Rise super PAC, isn’t about to leave the $75 million left in the group's bank account unspent....

Mike Murphy.....LOSER EXTRORDINAIRE!
He could spend it on Trump, or Cruz.
Will have little if any effect. Unless raising Trump’s numbers even higher is what he is after.
I could use it!
He should just take the money to a casino. He would have more luck there than helping Jeb. But, 15% of 75 million is,a ton of cash.
Go home to mama Jebbie, you will never be president.
Flush that money down the toilet, Yeb Arbusto.
In this atmosphere...where, what was once the unthinkable becomes reality. I just can't say never.
The ads are comical.
Yeb the Angry Inch bleating like an angry schoolboy about ISIS and how he’s gonna gittum.
Right Yebbie...like ya went after the VC in 1970, right?
Oh wait...you were in Mexico doing Social Work...with your newfound girlfriend...sorry, too busy to take the fight to the Commies.
This guy is a cartoon.
Jebbie’s only hope is to try to hang on until the southern primaries, then spend the Right to Rise cash on bottles of Thunderbird and Ripple wine, and have Thad Cochran pass them out in the voting lines to everyone who promises to vote Bush.
Yep. And he probably does not get paid until he places those ads.
However, looks like he is afraid to spend that ad money on Trump.
They are all afraid of Trump.
Fools and their money are soon parted.
Up in smoke.
I have no love for !Yeb.
I certainly don’t want him anywhere near the levers of power. I have had enough if his family for one lifetime.
I would prefer Trump/Cruz. But these days, things I never thought I would see have come to pass.
