An Insane Proposal, Allegedly Aiming to Help Jeb Bush (Mike Murphy is desperate)
National Review ^ | 12/4/15 | JIM GERAGHTY

Posted on 12/05/2015 1:36:54 PM PST by jimbo123

Let's hope the unnamed source in this Politico story has no idea what he's talking about:

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 and is readying a 15-minute biographical film about Bush.

According to another source close to Right to Rise, Murphy has been floating another tactical shift to potential supporters, suggesting that he might spend the bulk of the $75 million to carpet bomb Rubio, Cruz, Carson, Christie-everyone but Trump. The thinking: making the race into a binary choice between Bush and Trump might be the only way a majority of primary voters go with Bush.

What kind of Republican would seriously consider this sort of strategy?

Of course Murphy is desperate.
He doesn’t get his 15% cut until he places orders for ads.
With 75 million on hard for ads. He is desperate to place those ads
to get his cut.

Awesome strategy.

The GOPe vs The Donald.

I’m putting my 100 bucks on the Donald. If it costs them 75 million to counter, I consider it money well spent.

I pray that this race gets to only one Conservative and one or more gopes. The Conservative must win 8 outright majorities or is ineligible to be even entered into the convention.With multiple conservatives running that outcome id doubtful. That won’t be easy given the open primaries in some states and the Republicans-for-a-day that will flood the others once Obama’s choice is crystal clear. I suspect that choice was signaled when Biden declined to run.

The regime may want to back off the charitable donation audit.

Pajama Boy may need that Salvation Army space.

Jeb’s going nowhere; if he had an ounce of character, he’d just bow out.

I don’t think he is allowed to.

I watched his appearance on Fox News Sunday and he is not equipped for a national run.

Seems foggy to me and not expecting a Trump Ogre behind the elective door.

“” ... is readying a 15-minute biographical film about Bush.””

Are they going to tie people in chairs to get them to watch it?

I watched “The Making of Trump” on history last night.

It was alright. They did cover his enthusiasm quite well.

I think it reairs on Monday.

I am old enough to know he is quite a player in the world of everything.
