Jeb Bush's donors complain he is "burning money" with lavish spending on fancy hotels, fundraisers at the Four Seasons and St. Regis, and private planes - all while his poll numbers have plummeted and some GOP operatives are wondering whether he should remain in the race.
The federal filings of both Bush's campaign and Super PAC Right to Rise show his campaign has at times been "a whirl of private planes and high-end affairs," according to Reuters, which received responses from 11 of the 16 major donors to Bush's campaign it contacted to inquire whether the money contributed has been well spent.
When questioned about Bush's spending, all the major donors who responded asked for anonymity.
"There is no return on investment on the Bush ad buys, zero," said one high-dollar donor.
"They are burning money," said a second major donor, who asked not to be named for fear of displeasing the Bush family.

Sounds like .Gov or the Wounded Warrior Project.
Indicative of what he would do as president?
It’s the only way he can spend the money. By running a campaign. Might as well live the high live while he can. That can be the only reason he and others stay in the race even though they have no chance of winning.
Yeah, it’s a bitch when the government isn’t paying for your caviar, and you have to pay for it yourself.
I guess the bubbles a few of lil jebbie’s donors are living in have started popping and they’re waking up from their snooze-a-paloozas and starting to smell poopie instead of the artificial rose scent normally wafting through their bubbles.
Spending other people’s money lavishly with nothing to show for it?
Old Jebbie is the most qualified candidate to be President!
That's the story of two Bush presidencies.
Jeb! reminds me of Al Sharpton. Sharpton had no chance of winning any election but he liked flying around the country first class, staying in expensive hotels, and eating out at fine restaurants. Of course, Jeb!, is not using his money.On the other hand, the donors are stupid and deserve to get fleeced.
“Indicative of what he would do as president?”
Well, all you have to do is look at what his “big brother” did!
Good ol’ pocket turtle.
That’s what the Uniparty does.
Burns money for no positive effect for the citizens.
The Uniparty machine lives well, though.
Dumbasses. They get what they deserve for thinking Yeb! is any kind of solution to our problems.
Jeb reminds me of the snot nosed kid in my neighborhood with one finger up his nose, the other hand down the back of his pants, whining that he gets to play too since his momma said so.
The money was burnt when you donated it to that loser!
In 2012 Rick Santorum, operating on a shoestring budget, visited all 99 Iowa counties in a rented vehicle while staying in Comfort Inns and won Iowa.
There are still some things that money can’t buy.
BUT!
ALL of Jeb’s money IS being spent: On TV (Oboma’s Mass media of ABCNNBCBS), on consultants and polling and advertising and meetings and travel and staff ....
Chicken or egg analysis:
Is Jeb! the media’s favorite BECAUSE he is spending back into the media and Washington consultant class?
or
Is Jeb! the media’s favorite BECAUSE THEY want to keep him (and his repubbie co-politico’s) spending the moeny back into the media and Washington consultant class?
I am on record of saying the MSM will keep saying the name JEB as long as he has one dollar of PAC money left.
The MSM are bias and they are also not stupid. They will suck every AD dollar available and then, JEB will just be another empty beer can in the ditch.
