Reminds me on how McCain and Romney ran their ‘08 and ‘12 campaigns. Could raise money but listened to the ‘expert’ political consultants like Karl Rove and Mike Schmidt.

I’m guessing the campaign consultants were paid very well, and now they get to go home with several years worth of salary.

The money guys convinced the Jebster he would win without the base. The money guys got paid handomsomely, while the base told Jeb to stick it.

Cut to the chase:

Jeb! practiced conventional politics - it didn’t work

Cruz bought a hack-man operative to do the same. It didn’t work except in Iowa where dirty tricks were involved.

We are seeing the death of conventional politics. Donald Trump is not sending out voter violation notices or screwing his opponents with false information, nor is he spending tens of millions like the others are - yet he is achieving FAR better results.

“Wouldn’t it be nice if our country could say that?”

Jeb Bush had raised $103 million for his super PAC, Right to Rise, an astonishing sum that seemed to foretell the most lavishly funded campaign in American history. No super PAC had ever raised so much cash so early in an election cycle.

I'm happy that so many morons shoved so much money down the rathole and have zero to show for it. Every dollar wasted means less damage to the country. It would've been less pain and misery for them to go throw it out in the street.
