Bush Campaign Sources: Campaign Out of Money. Pay Ends Saturday.

[n2doc]

By Erick Erickson

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.

Ironically, if Bush really wants to have an impact on the race, given that his campaign is broke, he should publicly get out of the race today. This would be like Rich Perry in 2012, who got out, cast his support to Gingrich at the last minute, and saw Gingrich storm into first place in South Carolina.

Yeah, it's Erickson, but for once I am hoping he is right....

1. Couldn't happen to a better guy....

I hope he's right too.

2. They might have to sell some of their castles now. nt

[liberal N proud]

3. Another clown is about to bounce out of the clown car

[Hugin]

4. Well, that's what happens when you have too many CEOs running a campaign.

They soak up the money... Quickly.

8. That's true. Which is why his campaign lasted as long as it has.

For all intents and purposes, Bush's campaign should have ended after N.H. like Christie's. He just hung on so that high paid staffers and consultants could get as many pay days as they could.

5. It's like steel!

6. Wall St got a lousy return on their investment.

I'm hoping the same on their Clinton bet too.

7. When you are out of ideas, or...

...never had any to begin with, it doesn't matter how much money is/was in the campaign war chest.

9. Please clap.

12. OK You win the thread

10. Why doesn't JEB! ask big bro to go hit up the Saudi royals?

After all, they have that "special relationship."

13. They sure do!!!

15. Thank you!

16. Yer welcome...

I thought a visual would back you up on your claim.

11. He won't drop out now because everyone in the GOP seems prefer to help Trump

than to admit that their own candidacy is a lost cause. The "establishment" buffoons would rather tear each other down than work together. Pretty emblematic of the entire problem with the GOP mentality and it's a beautiful that this will be their downfall (though, truth be told, the end was in the cards anyway). Meanwhile, we saw Biden opt not to enter the Democratic race. A decision that I am sure was at least partly based on how contentious the race would have become if he had.

14. I wonder how much of those hundreds of millions were stolen or grafted away by the BFEE?

The crime family loves to commit crime, so why am I not surprised he is out of money?

17. I hope Erickson is wrong.

Our best chance in November is against Trump or Cruz. The longer there's more than one viable establishment candidate, the less chance there is that enough support will coalesce behind any one of them.

Notable is Florida's primary on March 15. On the GOP side, it's a winner-take-all fight for the third-largest trove of delegates. Trump has a good chance of winning it, and that chance is increased if Bush is still in the race, even if he's peeling off only 5% of the vote.

18. Even the GOP now knows the Iraq war was a mistake. nt

[gratuitous]

19. "A waste"?

Erick "Son of Erick" Erickson thinks this was a waste? Hasn't he seen the paychecks Bush's campaign advisers were depositing? How can that be a waste? Some well-connected white guys got a lot of other people's money, which means the Bush campaign has been totally a success.

20. Too bad I wanted him to keep in the race...

More fun with Trump's constant belittleing.
