With 2-minute ad, Jeb Bush urges New Hampshire to 'Turn Off Trump'
Washington Post ^ | 2/2/16 | Ed O'Keefe

Posted on 02/02/2016 6:00:31 PM PST by jimbo123

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is buying two-minute chunks of air time in New Hampshire to air his sharpest attack ad yet against his GOP rival Donald Trump.

Bush has allotted roughly $4.5 million to spend on advertising in the Granite State, with most of that time coming in the next seven days. He's run several 30-second spots in recent weeks that emotionally recount his daughter's history with prescription drug abuse or attack Trump for his comments.

Looks like Jeb is betting the farm on NH. If he's really spending $4.5M on these ads, his campaign will be almost out of money before South Carolina.

If by “sharpest” they mean “most pathetic”, they are correct.

Sorry Jeb. As far as your candidacy is concerned, America has already closed the door, turned off the lights and we’re acting like we aren’t home

Every time I see Jeb or hear his name, I will always think: low energy. Win or lose, thanks Mr. Trump.

I do not need Trump to tell me to stop listening to Jeb.

Yeb! needs to start thinking about his future, because sitting in the Oval Office for the next four/eight years ain't going to happen.

Yeb!’s message is that fraudulently documented foreigners matter more than citizens.

That’s never going to sell, especially when delivered in Spanish.

If I were Jeb I’d be more p.o.ed at getting the knife in the back from Rubio.

I think that consultants must get paid a percentage of what he spends.

I’m not going to give the spiteful loser the courtesy of viewing his ad.

What a wretched sperm donor. He certainly isn’t a dad.

All of his children and his wife have criminal records. His daughter checking out with narcotics is the least of them, and the most understandable given the freaks around her.

It’s the pattern of this cycle. Get crushed before you run out of money? Then wear that PAC money like a suicide vest. Become a human missile to be fired at will by your disappointed, not-too-bright backers.

Jeb’s advertising agency gets a 15% commission kickback from the media for all of the ads Jeb runs.

“Looks like Jeb is betting the farm on NH. If he’s really spending $4.5M on these ads, his campaign will be almost out of money before South Carolina. “

At this juncture, Jeb is simply acting as spoiler. Even in some sort of “brokered” convention, the tide’s not going to turn his way! Jeb is already out of gas, and will soon be out of other people’s money too. He’s not capable of being the groundskeeper at the White House.

It seems their plan is to run up Jeb!’s bill before the donors cut him off?
