After starting 2015 as the presumptive front-runner with a huge bankroll, Jeb Bush has to be ending the year wondering what went wrong with his presidential campaign, what happened to his Republican Party and where all his money went.
Mr. Bush and his super PAC burned through more than half of the $133 million they raised in the first three quarters this year. The return on that investment has been a drop in polls from about 15 percent when he entered the race in June to about 4 percent in recent surveys.
"He has not been a great candidate and the campaign never seemed to hit its strides despite all the money he had," said Aubrey Jewett, a political science professor at the University of Jacksonville.
He had to slash his campaign payroll nearly in half and reorganize into a leaner operation in October when it became clear that the spending was out of control and donations were drying up while his run had stagnated in the middle of a crowded Republican field.

Jethro has certainly put the lie to the idea that elections can be bought with campaign contributions.
El Presidente del Mejico.
Though they might not let him cross the border.

Yes! He looks ready to just slide away from lack of a skeletal system. He is the most drained & drab candidate. He makes ol’ Hill look perky.
Well Yeb, open borders, amnesty and all of that. so how did that work for you? I bet you thought you would ride to victory on that, didn’t you? Ha ha ha ha! You screwed up big time Yeb.
Negative numbers he has to pay off next time the big dope decides to run. Establishment stool pigeon.
MSM will say Jeb’s name just enough to keep their income in ad money coming in.
Yes, the Money people are that dumb.
These weasels really think that if by some act of extreme luck, they could manage to win the nomination and then collect enough funds for a campaign in the general?
Why in the heck is he still in? The family must be able to read the writing. It just makes no sense.
A preview of how Jeb! Would shepherd OUR MONEY!
GOPe $ well wasted
Interesting. There must be some history from the last 3 RNC debate cycles. I’ll start looking and develop.
Keep on playin’ those Mine Games forever...
Who knew he was still around?
Sometimes our grocery store has salsa bowls free if you buy tortillas and salsa.
The GOPee coronation for Jeb earlier this year was like declaring the football team will play in the Superbowl at the beginning of the season. Now even Yeb’s playoff wildcard chances are dimming.
A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place.
And that illustrates it all. It's not Jeb's party, or any of the Bushes or anyone other than the people's. Maybe Jeb need look no further than his sense of entitlement.
