Bush Campaign Sources: Campaign Out of Money. Pay Ends Saturday. (Plus Drops Out if Out of Medals)
The Resurgent ^ | February 18, 2016 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 02/18/2016 8:41:35 AM PST by C19fan

This is pretty remarkable. Sources close to the Bush campaign are beginning to leak about a call last night. I’m told the Bush team is out of money. Pay for campaign staff will end on Saturday. The campaign is all but over.

Additionally, after having hundreds of millions of dollars on hand, the Bush Super PAC has less than $15 million from what I am being told.

What a waste.

So much for mega money and the dreaded ‘Super PACs’ Bernie is always screaming about determining who wins elections.

I’m sure there are a number of reasons Jeb is doing so poorly, but I prefer to think it’s because supports foreign-invading criminals from Mexico / Central America. As much as the PC police try to shame us for opposing it, Americans on both sides of the political spectrum are sick of the benefit-sucking, criminal parasites. Get a clue, Jeb. We know you don’t GAF about American families.

Love it! The GOPe/RINO/Uniparty Poster Boy. Guaranteed a shoe-in, all he had to do is show up to get the nomination and then gracefully lose to Hitlery.

This power hungry/money hungry bunch of control freaks are still at a loss, especially if they let obama have his SC pick.

They have just no idea there’s a huge freight train coming down the tracks to mow them over.

Bush & Co had a good strategy, but it could only work if everything was aligned.

Hillary’s weakness and Trump’s strength turned things upside down.

The degree of expenditure by the Bush faction approaches the criminal level.

Why? Is it public money? Tax dollars? Stolen? Donations from drug cartels and therefore subject to RICO laws? Just because he FOOLISHLY spent money that was donated to him by foolish people in good faith, doesn't make it even close to criminal!

Going to sip so much awesome scotch when Yebbie officially “suspends” his campaign.

He certainly didn't spend all that money on his IT department:

A small business owner that owns a vacuum cleaner store would do at least some due diligence about website addresses.

The Bush family are such embarrassing failures.

That’s a shame.

I was hoping Jeb wouldn’t fail completely until at least half the states had voted. We needed him and Christie to split the RINO vote with Rubio and Kasich.

Trump takes down the last of the Bushes. We need to stick a dagger thru the heart of the Bush dynasty along with the Clinton crime family.

Consider this: There has been a Bush as either President or Vice President for 20 of the past 35 years. Add 8 years of Clinton as President and you have two families dominating the national political stage for 28 of the past 35 years or 80% of the time. And this does not include Hillary Clinton’s four years as Secretary of State under Obama or her failed run at the presidency in 2008. Nine out of the past 10 Presidential election cycles, including this one, have seen a Bush or a Clinton in the mix.

“$150 MM was thrown down the toilet bowl”

Down the toilet bowl? Hardly.

The professional political class has new houses, new cars, more wealth all around.

A resounding success was it and a merry time had by all.

Nonsense. One can foolishly induce fools to part with their money for a foolish enterprise and be criminal. Criminal Negligence is one theory supporting such a conclusion. The entire Bush candidacy faced constant information proving a lack of voter support and yet continued to spend other peoples money.

Bush has done us all a favor by wasting the money of people who would have otherwise spent it on another RINO or worse, to tear down the candidacy of a decent conservative candidate.

Breitbart has up on their front page a claim from Will Folks that Rubio staffers were responsible for the Nikki Haley cheating rumors getting out.

Take for what its worth, which may not be a whole lot.

Lighten up, Francis.

It's called "hyperbole."

Even without hyperbole, there is such a thing called "fraud."

Jeb has spent an enormous amount of money, from people that donated all that money in good faith, and his campaign appeared to be half-assing the entire time.

Someone must of gotten to Haley because Rubio’s SC campaign manager was the one who started rumors about her having an affair.

What? I missed this... any links, not that I particularly care, but is this just gossip?
