Team Bush Has Little to Show for $20 Million Spent on TV Ads (Mike Murphy squanders donor $$$)
NBC News ^ | 11/18/15 | MARK MURRAY

Jeb Bush and his allies have now spent approximately $20 million in TV ads in the 2016 presidential race - more than twice as much as any other candidate or outside group, according to ad-spending data from NBC News partner SMG Delta.

And they have little to show for it, will poll numbers for Bush currently stuck in the single digits both nationally and in the early states.

The pro-Bush Super PAC, Right to Rise, has spent $19.5 million in TV ads in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, while the campaign has spent an additional $438,000.

I’m an Iowan and I can tell you they’ve spent a bundle on direct mail too.

Lots of pro-Bush lit that doesn’t make it past the garbage can at the post office.

Polling at the margin of error is no way to go through life son.

I feel all....warm and fuzzy inside.

But Mike Murphy and his professional political consultants have a lot to show for it — in their bank accounts.

MSM will keep repeating your name if you pay them money for Ads. Once the money stops, you will be forget faster than a 50 cent hot dog.

Maybe Jeb would have higher ratings if he just made out checks directly to each voter.;-)

Who watches TV ads? Hey Jeb!, the 1970’s called and wants their campaign strategy back. The modern way is to get your mug on TV for free during news broadcast (Trump). You do that by saying what people are hungry to hear, not by spouting a bunch of poll tested platitudes.

Fox News just told Murphy to cough up the ad $$$ or Jeb gets the hook. So Murphy gave them $8 million bucks in advertising before they kick back $1.2 million in ad commissions to him.

I’ve seen it repeatedly and makes me like him less. He comes across as a typical politician and as a dork. Go away, Jeb.

I been seeing these Bush ads on FNC regularly for a while now, especially during Bret Baier special report.

Promises that he will ‘fix things’ .

Try’s to look exciting.

We're always being told how money buys elections, but it's nonsense. You need some money but it's not everything, and it won't convince people your stinky fish is filet mignon. Remember your Beatles lyrics!

A lot of Hillary backers will learn the same lesson.

The Bushes should have listened to their constituents.

Everytime I see a Bush ad, all I hear is “It’s a act of love”

Jeb Bush is irrelevant. It's time he realized what the rest of America already knows.

$20M X 15% = $3,000,000.00

With this kind of financial wisdom, it is not surprising the size of our debt.
