The Jeb Bush backers who poured more than $100 million into pro-Bush super PAC Right to Rise haven't exactly been getting a lot of bang for their buck. The group has already spent more than $49 million, not including salaries and other operating expenses, only to have its candidate's poll numbers drop to the low single figures, the Washington Post reports.
The spending blitz included $18.5 million on Bush ads in New Hampshire, where Politico reports he's still stuck in sixth place. The super PAC still has more than $67 million, according to finance filings, but that may not be enough to save the Bush campaign.
"You'd always rather be the one with the money," a GOP strategist tells the Post. "But clearly, this cycle we're learning that money doesn't buy you love."

It’s a good thing to be a Bush consultant. Plenty of dough and no results expected!
How long till the money drys up? You don’t keep pouring money into a dry hole.
JEB is running on 4 FLAT TIRES!
Money doesn’t buy you love!!!
It won’t buy you the nomination either numbnuts.
Slink away and take the mental midget legacy with you.
Turn your machine and money over to Cruz or Trump. Yeah, I know, you and your people don’t give a crap about the American public or the Constitution. If Trump (or Cruz) are nominated you will all support Hillary. Scumbags all.
Spreading the wealth around
With a broken axel and a thrown piston.
Sounds like his donors aren’t the sharpest tools in the box.
Can’t buy me love...
That is an incomprehensible amount of money, to spend on a loser. Who comes up with these ideas, I mean it!
Chamber of Commerce, Agricorps, Meat Producer/packing
Think large companies that love low income labor.
He’s wasting money from a position of strength. It’s an act of love. He just needs to stand on his tippytoes and he can fix it.
If they didn’t give it to Jeb, they were planning to flush it down a toilet, so makes no difference
“money doesn’t buy you love.”
There was no joy in Mudville, mighty George III had struck out.
What are the rules of the PAC? If JEB drops out, where does the excess money go, that the pack did not spend?
At this point, they’re all just damaging the Republican front runner’s chances of beating Hillary. they need to tone down their rhetoric and remember who the real enemy is here. Donald Trump is far more consistent with republican values than Hillary Clinton.
Your FReeper moniker is appropriate to JEB!!!’s campaign...
Somme1916 would serve too.
