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."

You would suspect the well has already run dry. Now they sit on money they need to spend, even if its pissed away, that is all they have left, why not spend it.
Fools and their money are indeed soon parted.
Henry V was a better speaker than JEB! And a better motivator!
I think as long as it is spent on Political actions it can be used to support other candidates. Remember PAC are not supposed to coordinate with Candidates...
Trump is Henry V!
There were about 20 million people who voted in the 2012 republican primary
3% of 20M is 600,000 votes
$50M/600,000 = $833/vote
Yikes.
It would be cheaper for Jeb! to say that he’ll give $500 to vote for him. Would pay for their Spanish lessons.
And gentlemen in the GOP now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day!
$833/vote
Jeb donors need to realize that they have to contribute nearly $850 to convince ONE person to vote for Jeb Bush
We few, we happy few, we band of FREEPERS!
