SuperPAC Right to Rise blows almost 20% of the much bally-hooed $103 million juggernaut fund that was to intimidate and crush Jeb’s GOP opponents.
20% up in smoke before any primary.
And what have they gained? A new restart “Jeb can Fix it!” and a really cool bus.
After the 40% pay cut for the campaign grunts, Jeb just might have to look for illegal aliens to work for free, as an Act of Love.
LOL, LOL

They get a cut of everything if they place the ad in TV, Radio or Print or Web.

TV is a dead medium unless you're interested in only reaching those over 55. More like 75. I'm over 50 myself, but most 70 year olds I know are on the internet and don't watch the news.
The only people I know that watch the news on TV are 79 and 84.

I'm sure that it meant the former, but it sure could be the latter. It was a poor choice, creating a slogan that can be so confusing to the reader. If Jeb Bush approved those nebulous words to represent his campaign, he deserves to be where he is, sucking hind tata!

Jeb is following the same ruinous path that took out Gov. Scott Walker. Huge expenditures early in a fledgling campaign on extravagant infrastructure, numerous paid staff and TV media buys lead to a disastrous cash burn rate that is inevitably unsustainable. Jeb’s major donors have been made to look like fools and they aren’t happy about it. Marco Rubio will be Plan B for the GOPe.
To: haroldeveryman
Better be careful with that suggestion - they might just go for it.

To: goodwithagun
Good. Spend that GOPe money! Yep, spend it now and there will be just that less money to knock off a conservative in a GOP floor fight at the convention.

It is all the prep before the convention in trying to secure another candidate for us to chose from like a Romney or whoever else they can fool us into choosing over the ones we really want.
Problem is that we are on to them and they can go ahead and spend the money to try and convince us but it ain't gonna work.

Is that the guy who created the “Americana” ad with the kid running across fields in Great Britain? That was funny
To: jimbo123
Bush’s ads are so pathetic that I suspect they might actually have a negative impact on his poll numbers. Some of his ads are so lame they scream, “I’m clearly someone whom you do not want to vote for.”

“I could see a thousand ads for turd sandwiches. Iâm still not eating turd sandwiches.”
Even worse for turd sandwich ads, every time someone sees one, it probably just reinforces the idea of just how unappetizing turd sandwiches really are.

“Do Jebâs consultants/staff get paid a percentage of the TV buys?”
If not them, certainly their ad agency gets a percentage for “placing” the ads, and I’ve read that there’s some self-dealing between some of Jeb’s staff and some of the contracting companies they use.

Dang. Give the money to charity and do something worthwhile.
