Jeb Bush's three delegates at the Republican National Convention cost him and his campaign about $50 million each.
Bush, who ended his presidential campaign in February after a poor showing in South Carolina, had only three delegates vote for him at the Republicans' nominating convention Tuesday. His campaign and super PAC spent $46 million for each delegate, according to The Washington Post's Dave Weigel. He was a favorite going into the primary season and had substantial financial backing from his family network, but he was unable to muster the enthusiasm his campaign needed.
Donald Trump's attacks on Bush as “low-energy” resonated with GOP voters and hurt the former Florida governor, who struggled to compete with the business mogul.
Bush has said he won't vote for either Trump or presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and has no plans to attend the Republican convention.
For the record......
Dr Ben received more delegates than Jeb
I’ve forgotten about Jebbie already.
Not surprising, Bush is a liar, he and his entire clan will vote for Hillary Clinton, because the two crime families are too intertwined not to.
I enjoyed the way that Trump hung “low energy” around his neck like a concrete block, because it took him straight to the bottom.
Not voting for Trump = A vote for Hillary!
What a petty, pathetic little piece of sh!t.
This Jeb guy amuses me.
In the spring of 2015, we were continually told how it would be him and Scott Walker down to the final wire. I remember various dimwits appearing on Fox and CNN....making that analysis. With all the money and experts, three lousy delegates at the convention?
It will kill him the REST of his life that Trump destroyed him and will kill all Bushes if Trump wins.
They’re just a down home family of Sauda Arabia dealing traitors.
Those 28 pages damned the saudis so Bush invaded Iraq.
I know it’s more complex than that but to leave SA completely alone?
ROTFLMAO!!!
$37,500 per delegate for Trump, if $64,000,000 is accurate for him. Less than half of Bush, aNd Trump wins. LOL... Please clap.
The Republicans’ very own Sore Loserman.
He choked on that silver spoon.
They built a bionic man for a tenth of that.
/please clap
Ben Carson. About $1.2 million per delegate, Cruz, about $280,000 Per delegate
I was so happy voters humiliated that globalist piece of crap.
We must keep all the Bush and Clinton crime families out of the White House.
Tippy Toes only works with democrats, Jeb.
Three delegates, this for the master campaigner, with all the bucks, and all the support.
Jebbie was gonna ride the big money horse of the elitist RINO’s country club insiders all the way to Cleveland. Horse manure Yebster. Enjoy retirement and your lil Mexican esposa. The tamales must be Bueno
The entire Bush family is vile, disgusting and NWO evil,
Common Core amnesty Jeb was supposed to get propelled to the top of the GOP leadership going forward, to be the statesman ‘conservative’ nominee, then gentlemanly lose to his ‘sister’ Hillary in November, he would get his turn in eight years,
The fact that they cannot support the Republican candidate today duly nominated says it all about them, even Dole wondered aloud where they all were,
We battle not against flesh and blood,
Let’s hope any future Bush clan aspiration died with Heb!
Seems P really hitched his wagon to his dad’s futile campaign.
