Speaking to an enthusiastic crowd of several thousand supporters at a campaign rally in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump blasted former Florida Governor Jeb Bush for doing a poor job managing his own campaigns finances.
Then, hes got a finance director, Trump said of Bush, Listen to this one, a finance director for a political campaign where hes losing badly and embarrassing his family. Hes got a finance director who got paid already $1.3 million. Can you believe that? Trump said.
He continued to mock Bushs business judgment in typical Trump style.
I mean, I have good people. My people are better than his. I pay them peanuts, Trump said.
Corey, youre getting paid peanuts, he said, pointing to Corey Lewandowski, his campaign manager.
I dont pay like that. I cant. I cant mentally, Trump added.

I wonder if Jebito has even contributed the minimum maximum amount to his campaign allowed. My guess is he pissed the money away because he’s using other peoples’ money and also spending it like his native currency - Pesos.
Everyone else, no matter how frugal, has already spent between two and ten times as much as Trump.

Thank God America is awakening.
The “genius” Karl Rove showed Jebbie how to raise hundreds of millions (like Karl raised for Mitt Romney——he was so sure Mitt was a winner).
Karl told Jebbie he didn’t need those horrible judgemental conservatives.
Jebbie had the multitudes rooting for him——moderates, independents and the hordes of Hispanics pouring over the border who assured Jebbie that as long as kept up the Espanol, they could swing an election at the drop of a burrito.
The only winners with RINOs like Jeb, McCain, Romney and Dole are the campaign staff and people like Carl Rove. They come out pretty sweet considering they lose every time. Establishment doesn’t get it and apparently neither do some major donors.
Trump has a lot of hungry people who want to prove themselves. They need success. For their candidate. For themselves. They need success now. And next year.
They know the money comes later, as long as Trump wins.
The GOPe lacks the same focus. Win or lose, they want to milk the cow today.
Let’s hope that Donald lets Corey buy a “Make America Great Again” hat at a discount price to add to his peanut salary.LOL.
Like we always say, no matter if the candidates win or lose the managers’ checks always clear.
Pray America wakes
Say what you will about Trump but he’s doing an excellent job showing everybody just how terrible a nominee Jeb would be.
Well, well, well. Looks like Karl Rove did it again...picked another LOSER!!!
He needs to go away, and forget about politics, he’s just as ‘done’ as Jebby is....oh and if they try to bring Romney back out...he’s to ‘precious’ for Trump, one blast from Trump and Romney would be running to Jebby mom....
He may be behind in polls in Iowa. But, he needs to keep the pressure up there to make all the others spend and drain as much of their campaign funds.
Then, go on to NH where he can put an end to most of the hangers to open up the race for himself. Iowa is not that important, NH is, to an extent. It is after NH where the race becomes serious.
The hangers have a real problem. Trump does not need funds, they do and they know it.
1 billion dollars is what they need to even have the remote chance of competing with Trump. And that is just the primaries.
How many of Jeb’s workers got “cut” because this dude was hauling it away?
It’s the difference between a business person who has balanced the books for years while making steady payrolls and professional politicians who couldn’t care less where the money comes from nor where it goes.
Repubs have two choices, they can win ugly or lose graciously. Their managers would always rather be gracious.
” Establishment doesnt get it and apparently neither do some major donors.”
Actually, I have to disagree. Both the GOPe and the major donors do get it! They’re just worried that the rest of us have finally “gotten it!” We, for the first time, really do understand their game. That they are pro-their own wallets and anti-American if America gets in the way of their continued prosperity and absolute control of our economy. Their personal well being trumps the Constitution and all the “rights” the rest of us are supposedly guaranteed.
If you guys haven’t read it, read Charles Murray’s incredible “Coming Apart.” He breaks down large swaths of “superzips” which are basically a combination of wealth and Ivy League education (a prozy for IQ). He shows that you can drive across fast areas around D.C. and NEVER leave a “superzip.” It is entirely possible that except for a Starbucks employee or a clerk, you will NEVER encounter someone who hasn’t reached a certain level of wealth or who doesn’t have an Ivy League education. He found one block where every single person was from Harvard, Yale, or Princeton.
Jeb’s whole campaign was based upon two good bets, but the dice didn’t cooperate.
His first good bet was that the MSM and institutional donors would choke off the oxygen of any politician who dared oppose the amnesty and open borders agenda. He was correct: Scott Walker toed the line to keep his cash flowing, Ted Cruz was held down to single digits in the polls. His second good bet was that Evangelicals would have nowhere clear to go with only yesterday’s man (Huckabee) out there, and he’d be able to use the Bush family relationships to get a fair share of Evangelical leadership behind him in the absence of a clear favorite.
And then fate intervened. Trump blew him up on immigration, because as a non-politician celebrity and (for now, at least) self-funder, he was not able to suffocated. And Carson blew him up on Evangelicals, as he was able in defiance of all expectations to monopolize the Evangelical alternative media and fundraising apparatus.
