'$50 to turn up for Jeb Bush's final rally because organizers need high energy seat fillers'

'$50 to turn up for Jeb Bush's final rally because organizers need high energy seat fillers' - desperation and claims of dirty tricks on the last campaign day in Iowa.

Daily Mail Online reporter is offered $25 an hour to go to Jeb's last rally in Iowa because candidate needs people to be 'high energy'.

Offer was made as Daily Mail Online visited a Rand Paul campaign event - and reporter was told: 'You don't have to listen, just applaud'.

At event man shouted from the floor that he hadn't been paid - and was told by Jeb to 'get out'. Then Bush claimed offer is dirty tricks from rivals.

Jeb's campaign claims it was a 'prank' organized by rivals - although who that could be was unclear.

With the clock ticking down in Iowa desperation has started to kick in with candidates attempting to squeeze every last vote.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the extraordinary offer made to Daily Mail Online outside Rand Paul's first event of the day - a roundtable in the unprepossessing Hyvee Supermarket just off Route 6, Hickman Road, Waukee.

Before the man of the moment arrived two young men approached asking people asking if they wanted to make a bit of extra money.

'$$ Earn Fast Cash Today!' read the fliers they carried in hand. 'Seat fillers needed TODAY at 12pm for campaign event.'

The offer was simple: $25 an hour to turn up to Jeb Bush's rally in the Embassy Suites by Hilton - Central Atrium on Locust Street, Des Moines - a maximum of $50.

So, Jebthro said it was a dirty trick organized by rivals?

Sure, Jan.

What an underhanded way to get out of paying those kids.

Just sorry and un Presidential.

Like I said on the other thread, anybody with a printer and a computer can generate this.

It’s kind of like the guy at the Trump rally flashing the 50 dollar bill.

In any event, the Bush event is a non-event.

“His campaign quickly shot down the claim, calling it shenanigans on the part of a rival.”

You should submit it! It is an entirely different narrative.

Juicy!

Nobody would be stupid enough to distribute a flyer offering $25/hr to sit at a campaign rally and then put the name of their campaign on the bottom. Nobody could possibly be that stupid, right?

Desperate times lead to desperate measures:

I don't know for sure...but we are talking about a man that's been passing out little toy turtles... and has a Dukakis moment almost daily. Then again Mike Murphy just may be padding the cash disbursements expense account. $20k for crystal meth to keep the old ones awake and stuff.

$50 and get to start a Trump chant at a Yeb! event?

Too bad I don’t live in Iowa.
