Jeb's Super PAC May Have Hinted the End Is Nigh
PJ Media ^ | February 5, 2016 | Stephen Kruiser

Posted on 02/05/2016 5:36:17 PM PST by Kaslin

Via Politico:

The pro-Jeb Bush super PAC Right to Rise on Friday ordered a series of shifts in TV advertisement time — a decision that is potentially fraught with implications for Bush's candidacy.

The group had planned to begin airing commercials on Monday in Virginia, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, and Oklahoma — all states that hold primaries on March 1. But Right to Rise on Friday moved the start dates for the ads three days later, to Thursday, according to two media tracking sources.

The shift appears small. But in altering the start date from Monday to Thursday, Right to Rise gives itself the opportunity to save money in the event Bush decides to end his campaign following the New Hampshire primary.

The undying loyalty that Bush's backers have for his father and brother have given them the patience to sit around and watch their money burn like gasoline-soaked straw. The high point of this campaign was when it was rumored that the Little Prince would run. It's been a sad thing to watch since the day he announced.

Jeb likes to tout his tenure as governor of Florida (which ended almost a decade ago) as the reason he should be president, and maybe he was a good governor for them. Florida Republicans voted for Charlie Crist right after that though, so let's say I'm not a big fan of their choices.

This was a candidacy that had no reason for being other than the last name of the candidate.

Which he just happens to be running into the ground at the moment.

Hopefully Jebbie will stay in and keep hammering Rubio ... even Jebbie has estab masters , and it appears they are telling him to get out for the sake of Rubio

Day after Super Tuesday.
I think by then it’s over for all but the top 3.
Maybe it’s over for everybody but the top 1

In a way, yes it is sad, but I confess I am enjoying the schadenfreude

March 1 and 2 will be wall to wall results of primaries. No one will pay attention to ads.

Until March 15th all delegates are divided proportionally .... Beware the Ides of March:
Florida Primary (99) Winner take all
Illinois Primary (69) Statewide delegates are winner take all, congressional district delegates elected directly on ballot and bound as they declare
Missouri Primary (52/49) Winner take all above 50%, otherwise winter take all by congressional district
North Carolina Primary (72/69) Proportional
Northern Mariana Islands Caucuses (9) Winner take all
Ohio Primary (66) Winner take all

That’s not how I read that. It is ad buys that start next week. To put them off until next Thurs. Two days after the N.H. results gives jebbers enough time to go home and sulk and they wouldn’t have burned the money on jeb ads.

I thought about visit the ruling dynasty in North Korea, but then said to myself, “Self just visit Kennebunkport instead.”

And he wants to go to war. What isn’t to love?!

2015-11-05 : Free Republic's Patton@Bastogne's Bold Political Predictions


(1) Yeb Bush will make a good political campaign decision "intelligently" REFUSE to exit the 2016 GOP Presidential Race until he is DEFEATED in the 2016 March 15 Florida Primary. Yeb Bush's political "ace in the hole" is the hopelessly corrupt Florida Republican Party ... the ones who redistricted the great Allen West out-of-office.


(2) Meanwhile ... Dr. Ben Carson will be polling "single digits" by Christmas 2015 ... at which point he'll endorse (suprise, surprise) Yeb Bush ...


(3) Marco "Amnesty" Rubio (lavishly funded by Yeb Bush's former donors) ... will place FOURTH in Iowa (abandoned by the Tea Party Evangelical Christians for being a greedy bad-faced liar) and FOURTH in the Florida Primary (in a "blood-sport" death-match with Yeb Bush)


4) Ted Cruz SHOCKS the "Washington Establishment Cartel" with a three-percent Florida victory over Donald Trump ...



===================================


Tonight (Thursday, 2015-11-05) it was revealed that Dr. Ben Carson supports Transgendered Bathrooms (political suicide for his Evangelical Christian base) ...

... and Dr. Ben Carson has "lied" about the names of guys he supposedly beat-up in high school

... which, when combined with the "ridiculous" Pyramid Theory statements, is beginning to make Herman Cain (2012) and John Edwards (2008) look like Einstein and Gen. George Patton Jr.


===================================


"Anything" can happen in a "New York Minute" in American politics.

Just ask Machiavelli, Abraham Lincoln, JFK, Bobby Kennedy, Vince Foster, Gary Hart, Buddy Holly, U.S. Senators Hale Boggs, Ted Stevens, and Paul Wellstone, Herman Cain ...

and Napoleon at Waterloo (who was winning the battle, and Wellington admitting DEFEAT, as late as 5:00 PM in the afternoon).


===================================


Ninety-eight (98) GOP Convention delegates are at stake in Florida's "mas mucho rigged" state Presidential Primary (Winner take All).

That makes it more convenient for Yeb's GOPe Chamber of Commerce Political Whores (aka the Florida Republican Party) to hand Yeb 98 convention delegates on a silver platter.

Yeb Bush has absolutely NOTHING to lose by staying in the presidential race (anything can happen).

Is it a longshot ? Absolutely.

Has Karl Rove already planned for this scenario ? Absolutely.

Will Dr. Ben Carson endorse Yeb Bush when the good doctor is "finished" ? Absolutely.

As a romantic interest once told me ... "It's All About the Money" ... perfectly applicable to Yeb Bush, Ben Carson, and Karl Rove.
